Beauty Really IS in the Eye of the Beholder

I saw this article on the news today , and curious, I went to take a look as well.
The concept?  Imagine if you were asked to explain your own beauty to someone.  Would you struggle?

Yeah. You and the other 3.5 billion women on the planet.

The reality is that most of us can’t see our own beauty like the people around us can. We’re constantly underestimating ourselves. In fact, only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful.

This video will change the way that you think and feel about your own beauty….

An FBI-trained forensic artist, Gil Zamora, created sketches of seven women who were hidden behind a curtain; he used their self-descriptions as the basis of his drawings. Prior to the session with Zamora, each of the women were also asked to spend some time with a stranger – without being told why. Zamora then also drafted sketches from the stranger’s depictions of the women.

And the result? Well, we’ll let you see for yourself.

I have to say that I am always constantly amazed by the marketing team behind Dove, because they focus on not just the Dove products but instead, highlight real women, and basically real people. They are out to promote positive self-esteem and help women feel good about our unique inner and outer beauty and it can be really inspiring to watch the videos like the one above. Best of all, these are real emotions, a real experiment, no acting involved, and that’s what makes it really compelling.

To tell you that YOU are more beautiful than you think!
