The Evolution Of "Beauty"

Even though we finished the series on Beauty I came across this video which amazed me, and I thought you might be interested in it too. It’s a 74 second film by Dove called ‘Evolution’ ….

  3. Hi Birgit,
    It’s nice to have finally found you! Kate H send this link to me, I’ll be keeping an eye on your blog ;-)
    The video is powerful. The nice thing is that she looked far more beautiful at the beginning of the vid!

  4. Hi! Thanks so much for your comments - Sandy-lee and Kate that’s so great you were able to share this with friends - it shows how much of an illusion “beauty” is and the trap of trying to look like the images we see, huh? … Simone, so nice to hear from you, bless you … Take care and God bless, Birgit :)

  5. Amazing what they can do with Photoshop software..lol.
    But theoretically,lets just say you are a woman whos rather plain looking and you do need a few things to make you look beautiful.
    Is it right to come down hard on cosmetic manufacturers or beauty mags?
    If my girlfriend makes the extra effort, I would appreciate it.
    There really is something to be said for a bit of eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick etc.It just accentuates the beauty of a woman.
    And what if we men didnt “work out” to keep our weight down,didnt try to get a tan etc, or said “flat abs” are an illusion. I mean we worry about what women think too. And Im sure that male models get “touched up” also to enhance thier appeal to women.
