Analogies & Emotions

Dove “Real Beauty Sketches” uses emotion and vulnerability to sell confidence and self-acceptance rather than simply promoting beauty products. The ad compares how women see themselves versus how others see them, using the sketch artist as an analogy for insecurity and how we see ourselves.
