Why need we use “beauty” products in the first place?

Think.

Reflect.

It's time for Consumers to stand up and say "Enough Already"...For starters, contact the magazine that prints these outrageously fake pictures and voice your opinion. If the celebrity is selling a product, contact the company and tell them that you refuse to purchase that product until they use authentic photographs. Obviously the public can tell the difference. I live in Asheville, North Carolina and have bumped into Andie McDowell several times. She looks nothing like her airbrushed ads....She is a gorgeous middle aged woman with laugh lines and a face filled with character...I rest my case!
