Maybe the line could use some reworking? One may argue that war paint comes in many different shapes, sizes and colors. War tribes apply it in preparation for battle. However, with the horizontal dashes under the eyes, I thought football at first too—as would anyone familiar with the sport. In football though, it is seen as something done for mere intimidation. How do you improve upon the ad, especially when the model is so pleasing to the eyes, but the line leaves some like "what?"

The only thing that bothers me is that she has too much make up, You don't put an anti-aging creme on a face all covered with make up

Good idea. But the retouching/color work on the girls is not great.

i agree the face most be more natural, without makeup.
But idea is cool, simple and clear.

Guest's picture

fighting and football are two different sports.
Help me out here??

or do some fighters do this?

Guest's picture

yes... as one guy (or gal) earlier mentioned, tribal warriors in the past have long used war paint for intimidation or ceremonial purposes.

football adapted it (sports is the closest thing we have to war... except war itself). just look at the All Blacks team and their dance before the game starts.

i think this ad is appropriate, especially since the area under the eyes is a key area where our dark eye rings/eyebags and age show.

cleave ad, great model shot too.

Guest's picture

tribal warriors have long since painted their faces to look more intimidating... it's the football folks who have adapted that idea.

Indeed, it is funny to see how young folks miss the knowledge of the origins.
Actually in sports it means the same as in the good old times: preparing ourself to fight.
That is why they mimic the face-painting ritual...

The point is, this is a very very very good ad - so simple, so creative.

great!simple and immediate!

Yuck! Who is the dude who didn't even bother to brush up the skin detail of the model. u can see clearly the fine hairs near her lips and chin. Well... if they didn't bother giving the model 'a facial' before the shoot... thats the least a designer would have done.

Guest's picture

Eye black as it's used in modern sports has nothing to do with tribal war paint or intimidation of any kind. It's used under the pretense that it reduces glare from the sun or stadium lights in a player's eyes due to the fact that light is attracted to the dark strips and away from the eyes themselves.

Guest's picture

What is the name of the model? It's beautiful...

Guest's picture

Is she mad about ageing? Should we tell women ageing is an enemy? You shouldn't fight ageing. Maybe you could protect yourself from the effects it causes by fighting these effects. Women are crazy all around the world because we keep saing that getting older is bad, is terrible. No one says there is happiness in elderly life. So, if you want to sell a product to correct the "imperfections" life causes naturaly, please, do it without calling women stupid, or creating an image that doesn't get even closer to the way they see the world. Women fightins? Girls with boxe gloves or army lotion painting? That's not much feminine. Their idea of women power is totaly incorrect.
And, by the chance: is she old enough to combat ageing? She is nearly a teenager.
