Careful, They're Faking It

I really dislike misleading advertising. Don't you? 

One thing I've learned in my life is to shut my yapper when it comes to women's fashions, beauty or critiquing either. That's why this is upsetting to me. 

You know that not everything on TV is real. But you’d assume that ads selling a product would show off fairly accurate, achievable results, right? 

Reports show that over 25 percent (28% to be exact) of commercials selling beauty items like mascara or shampoo artificially enhanced their models with false lashes or hair extensions in order to sell their wares.

Most recently, Cheryl Cole’s L’Oreal advertisements displayed flowing, shiny hair, which later turned out to be extensions. In fact, the next time you marvel at the long, extended lashes in mascara commercials, don’t grab your wallet and run out to the drugstore. Over 58 percent of those gorgeous black eyelashes were actually touched up during post-production – meaning Photoshop is the true beauty product to invest in, not a million different kinds of mascara.

Uh huh...Photoshop.
