This research paper: 4 pages in length. Loreal is particularly successful at inducing thought about one's identity; indeed, the use of a sultry, attractive woman in the company's mascara print ad evokes a dual reaction of appreciation and longing, both of which are directly associated with the model's exotic beauty. Female viewers wonder if this product will enhance their physical features the same way it does for the ad's model, while in the back of their minds they cannot help but admit how the mascara she wears is but a miniscule component of her overall good looks. This one-way interplay between the ad and the viewer is a result of what Marx termed commodity fetishism, whereby the illusion of immediate beauty if women merely purchase the mascara is reflective of the manipulative aspect of advertising where consumers are encouraged to buy products that in some way boost their personal identity because all they are allowed to see is the end result of that given product.
