Maybelline “Confidence” ads. SO happy with how the colors in these turned out in printing and matting.
Since this is getting a ton of unexpected attention, I want to clarify that these are not real Maybelline ads. They are a concept for a class I am in.
The thing make up ads should really be saying.
“Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. ”
― Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

Anonymous sent: as a rape victim, I AGREE WITH YOU. it's like never locking your door and acting surprised when your shit gets stolen.
I can be dense sometimes, so I hope I’m not missing some underlying sarcasm or something but I really appreciate that you took the time to message me.
I haven’t been a victim of rape though I was molested as a child. I’m not saying it’s the same thing just that I know in my own way what it’s like to feel helpless. I wasn’t trying bash people who’ve been through such things or condone rape in anyway. It’s just I have a teenage sister who has put herself in very dangerous situations before. Thankfully nothing too bad has happened but it’s a large part in why I think the way I do. I’m not saying that women go around asking to be raped and I think it’s great to have a good time, but I also think in the world we live in we have to think. I don’t see why people found this opinion so offensive that I’m suggesting that women look out for themselves. Anyway thank you so much for taking the time to read my opinion and message me. It means a lot. <3
My submission. Forgive the typo. I made it in like 5 secs before submit ended (if you go to unpopular-opinions you know what i’m talking about).
Anyway I think people who have commented on this thus far have assumed things about this that I never intended. Just because I think women need to be more responsible for themselves and not put themselves in really dangerous situations, does not mean I don’t think it’s also highly possible for rape to happen in a safe place with friends for family either. Also I know that men get raped too and I am definitely not condoning rape or violence in anyway with this opinion. I am simply saying that going out and doing stupid dangerous things is asking for trouble.
No one is going to protect you 24/7 in this world. Ultimately if you want to try and limit the bad things from happening to you, you have to look out for yourself.
