Maybelline “Confidence” ads. SO happy with how the colors in these turned out in printing and matting. To clarify, these are not real Maybelline ads, they were created for an advertising class.

EDIT: This is important. This means a lot to me. I legitimately believe a huge mistake was made today.

These ads were a part of my portfolio into the advanced advertising program at my school. About half of the people who apply get in. I got into the first two creative classes, intro and intermediate, and I was confident I would get into advanced… especially after I posted these on tumblr and in a matter of a few hours got THOUSANDS of notes with people saying that they loved them, most people even believing they were real advertisements and not something a 21 year old student made for class.

The only reservation I had was that my portfolio was being judged by two older men. Two men who have never worn makeup in their lives. Two men who would probably not even begin to understand what this campaign means. Two men who have never been under societal pressures to wear makeup, but then being told they’re insecure for doing so.

Those reservations might have been founded, as evidenced by the fact that I did not get in. I was rejected. I got over 5,500 notes on these ads in 24 hours, yet I was rejected for not being good enough. I can’t finish the program, and I have to figure out where to go from here.

Now to the good stuff: Tumblr is amazing. Everyone who has reblogged this, whether your comments were negative or positive, is amazing. I find it truly astounding that these have gotten so much attention. These, which are advertisements selling you something, something people inherently dislike. I am humbled, shocked, and grateful. This is the first time since I’ve been in advertising that I felt like I was doing something right… that maybe, just maybe, I could make it in this industry and make a positive change.

Those dreams were squashed today. I cried, and I complained. I’m angry — but not at myself like I thought I would be. I feel they made a mistake. I refuse to believe that I’m in the bottom 50% of the people who applied. I deserve to be in that program, and I know it. Thousands of people can’t be wrong that this is a good idea. An idea that MEANS something, and idea that resonates with many people. 2 older, conventional men can absolutely be wrong when it comes to judging what makes a good makeup ad.

Here’s where you come in. Let’s make them regret their decision. Reblog this, like it, comment on it, whatever. Let’s get this attention… so much attention that they can’t ignore it. While the decisions are most likely final, I want to make them think twice. I want them to look back, and believe that they fucked up. If it doesn’t even benefit me personally, I want them to think about how fair a panel of 2 male judges is when it comes to evaluating work done by women, for an audience that consists of predominantly people who identify as women.

So let’s do this. They fucked up; I deserved to be accepted. I know it, and I have a feeling you guys know it too.

I reblogged this first because I loved it. Now, I am reblogging it again, because I love it. I think that this is the first makeup-advertisment that I have actually liked, because it’s not saying that makeup makes you perfect, it says that you can express yourself perfectly well with makeup.

I don’t know, sudden feelings!

Putting up this pic of myself again because I looked so happy. It was a long time since I was at that kind of peace, I mean, I started crying to my mom on the phone today, but hey.

Funnier news? I made a self-motivational fitness-blog and so far so good. Trying out a keto-diet and that shit is rad! Basically hardcore LCHF, I guess. Been going at it for almost a week, and the only problem is that I don’t hydrate enough.

Uhm.

I have no idea where I’m going with this post, but it’s 5AM and I have dishes to do.

Finally, a makeup advertisement addressing the fact that makeup is an ARTFORM, and isn’t only used to “hide your flaws”.

Top 5 things that traumatized my childhood to the point where I had chronic nightmares about them for years. 

This very scene from beetle juice, goddamn GODDAMN GODDAMN mars attacks! That one Courage the cowardly dog episode where they eat eggs from space chickens (I think it was a pilote episode or something) and then the skeleton from swedish JULKALENDER~ Mysteriet på Greveholm

and vildvittror. ;__; (Now I think they’re kinda cool though) 

Guppy you shared my childhood fears ;; … though I was a lot more scared by those CREEPY stone troll things from ronja….

GRÅDVÄRGARNA???

I actually tried to find a screenshot of them, but I didn’t manage ;__; They were so scary 

THE SKELETON FROM MYSTERIET PÅ GREVEHOLM AAAAH. I had a point and click game with it that I forced my father to lock in, I thought he would escape the disc and come into my room.

The game was pretty good though.

Aaah, why does the skeleton still make me feel uncomfortable. It’s so dorky … but I guess some scars never heal. I’d like to add the Groke to this.

I fell in love with the skeleton because he was good at the piano… *erm* But yeah, Grådvärgarna were SO SCARY!
