Tricks Commercials Dont Tell You

Have you ever seen the girls with red lips in the Covergirl commercials? Or taken a good look at the people on Victoria's secret adds? Chances are, your not seeing what the actual picture or product look like.

Trick 1: Painted on lips
When cosmetics companies are trying to sell bold lip color, they don't directly apply it to the model. They mix it with oil or water and paint it on. That's why their lips look absolutly perfect. Fair? No. A selling scam? Yes.

Trick 2: Body Spraying/Editing
Whenever companies are advertising swimsuits or undergarments, all the models go through a full body toning, where they spray on a tan. Then, the models are airbrushed and sometimes sparkles are blown on them. When advertising products like these, no freckles/blemishes are going to be shown. After the photo is taken, they edit any wrinkles or imperfect body spots. Terrible and a lie? Yes. A harsh selling motive? Yes.
