L’Oreal’s Eraser Foundation\u00a0ad\u00a0<\/a>showing\u00a0Julia Roberts’ perfectly smooth,\u00a0glowing and blemish-free skin has been accused of unethical practices since the ad\u00a0falsely led consumers to believe that\u00a0their\u00a0foundation will\u00a0give the same results as Roberts’.\u00a0 The UK government accused L’Oreal of performing digital re-touching to the original photo of Roberts which enhanced the actual effectivneess of the foundation.\u00a0 As a result, the UK banned L’Oreal ads in order to protect the esteem of the targeted consumers.<\/p>\n

Lancome ad featuring Julia Roberts<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

I agree that cosmetic ads like to retouch their photos since it makes ads look\u00a0visually appealing.\u00a0 However, I believe that a rational person would know before hand, that one cannot simply look at an ad and believe that one will\u00a0have the same results since everyone’s skin\u00a0behaves differently.\u00a0\u00a0Therefore, one\u00a0should test the product before buying it.\u00a0 In conclusion, I\u00a0think that the UK government over reacted but at the same time, L’Oreal should not have launched a\u00a0product that did not live up to the standards of the retouched ad.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
