The World of Advertisements.

Ads make us think that we really need the product that they are endorsing. They manipulate us into buying things that most of the time we do not need. They attract us either by using celebrities, catchy phrases, or by making the product look like its better than it really is. People fall into them all the time. Ads just go to show how materialistic this world can be. People are always looking for the next big thing, the next big product and ads live off of that. They use people’s materialistic needs to sell their products.
Covergirl always uses young beautiful models/actresses to advertise their make-up. Though their models do look beautiful they have a lot of make-up on and it takes make-up artist hours to make them look like that. The model’s lips are always the perfect shape, their eyelashes are always long and full, and their eyes are always a clear crisp color. However that image is not realistic; a lot of people want to look like that, but it’s unrealistic. It’s just an image to attract people to buy their product. Advertising companies know what the people want and they always use as an advantage to make a profit.
