6. STRATEGY
• Conduct an experiment that explores how a woman sees
her self and her own beauty, in comparison to what other
people see
• Dove picked out women who have a hard time accepting herself and
her real beauty
• Asked these women to get close with another person
• The chosen woman will have to describe her self to a professional
forensic artist (describe her looks)
• The other person will be asked to describe what the woman looked
like as well
• The different sketches were then put together and shown to the
women
9. RESULT
• As seen in the video, all of the women were speechless
• “the stranger’s[description/sketch] was more gentle”
• “its really different”
• “the second one[stranger’s sketch] is more beautiful; she looks
more open, and friendly, and happy ”
• “I have some work to do on myself”
• “we should spend more time appreciating the things that we do
like[about ourselves]”
• “I SHOULD BE MORE GRATEFUL OF MY NATURAL BEAUTY – IT
IMPACTS EVERYTHING”
10. LESSONS LEARNED
• Acceptance
• As women, we should not be too harsh on ourselves. We should
accept what we have and make the most out of it. We should not
be ashamed of who and what we are, but rather, be proud.
• Self-love
• We should always love ourselves because it will affect every
aspect of our lives. We should learn to accept and love our
natural beauty – the real us. And if we learn to love ourselves
and see how beautiful we really are, then we are going to see
the world in a different and better perspective.
