False Advertising

I’m sure we’ve all noticed that when on beauty befores and afters are shown the befores are shown in the worst light and, of course, no makeup. The afters are always shown with soft lighting and full makeup. I think we should be able to sue for false advertising.

If your products are so great, vendors, then why can’t you be honest?

Oh yes, let’s sue. Why not? Instead of just opting to not buy the product, or maybe, ohhhh, i don’t know–changing the channel? Please!

Totally agree with you. I have been involved in photography for a very long time and just subtle changes using the camera from light to angle can make a difference. I guess that is the way it is and nothing we can do about it except not buy.

  Adding another observation: Many of the vendors who are offering the product have had visible “Botox” surgery. Nobody of their age looks like that. Personally not my favorite look. Too fake looking. Too puffed up. SHOULD BE A DISCLAIMER. Totally dishonest in my opinion.

Before and afters are a turn-off to me. I scroll through them on videos and go back to my reading when watching presentations on air. They reek of dishonesty when the lighting differences change hair and eye color of the models. Ingredient lists are what sell me on a product and I appreciate when vendors spend time discussing them.
