Seventeen and Maybelline

Talisha Jackson professional personfessor Benjamin Foster Writing 121 10/29/2012 xvii and Maybelline Seventeen is a cheap, popular magazine whose pages be upright of various fashion or nonfunctional tips, expressions, and advertisements. Seventeen too focuses on the unknown details of popular stars, movies, celebrities and television shows. Maybelline Cosmetics is a well-known, high-priced discoloration of puffup which is owned by LOreal. I ordain be analyzing both the Seventeen magazine and a Maybelline advertisement, to decide if the particular ad could be staind in the magazine.On the cover of the 2012 August fluctuation of Seventeen is the Filipino actress Shay Mitchell. She is shown smiling piece leaning against a white w t appear ensemble her arms argon firmly crossed in front of her, showing off her blue bracelets and ring. Her brown hair is be blown back by an unknown force, revealing her blue and purple earrings which match her bracelets, purple lopsided shir t and purple flower imitate denim jeans. Right next to Shay in bold blue green letters is the television series shes in Pretty pocket-size Liars, and under(a) that in sm everyer plain text, is Spoiler Alert The doddery plot twist she didnt even see coming. Shays head is slightly covering the magazines title Seventeen, and surrounding her be the main topics of this edition. Such as Redo-Your-RoomFor Free, Back-To-School preview, 805 Fashion & Beauty Ideas, Free finalise polish, Best Jeans for your soundbox & Bud startle, and The Guys Secret Thoughts (what hes non telling you). Theyve also posted the URL for their website in small orange print at the bottom right corner. August is the month where n azoic students in high school or college are getting get to for going back to school, or are already back in school.Three of the main articles in this edition are about cheap ship canal to redo your entire appearance. The Back to School Preview article is full of pictures of wom en who are promoting make-up or hair harvestings, and telling the readers ways to acquire these unique styles and what to buy. Such as the Hot Chocolate style conjure up your everyday earth tones with rich chocolaty color on eyes and lips. You get an A+ when the finish is matte. The article tells the reader to buy MAC Pro Longwear ($20) and NARS Pure Matte Lipstick ($25) n order to achieve this get a line. judgment by the time this edition came out, some of the main topics, and the fact that this share of the article tells the reader that shell get An A+ when the finish is matte is base hit to say that this magazine targets women in high school through college who deprivation to get the best deals on clothing/ decorative products and are evoke in changing their consider. Unlike most magazines, Seventeen does non become a table of contents. It does, however, number its pages which totals up to 175 pages.Within these pages are advertisements for cosmetic products such as Covergirl, Maybelline, Pantene, and NYC. Covergirl dominants these with 5 full page ads, two of which are located in the first couple pages of the magazine. Pantene and Maybelline arent too cold behind with 2 full page ads each, and NYC is in last place with 1 full page ad. The first thing you see when you airfoil the magazine is the CoverGirl ad for their Clean brand of cosmetics. This ad features Taylor Swift, whose skin looks colour and contrasts with her bright blue eyes and salmon faded pink lips.In quotations under Taylor is why do I love clean? Because its huffy to my skin and under that a small description of the product. The other cosmetic ads are similar just promoting other products like eye shadow, mascara, primer, nail polish, etc. The cosmetic advertisements within the magazine itself reveal that the readers are fire in make-up, plainly only products which enhance their features and hide their blemishes. Seventeen attempts to bear all diametrical kinds of you ng women into their magazine.In the first 51 pages alone they go through 49 moldings who are a minority, and 58 who are Caucasian. These models claim or so equal time as both the main model in the advertisement and as the supporting models. This edition of Seventeen doesnt allow in one article or advertisement promoting weight loss or either form of dieting. Instead they have a small article written by an editor who promises that the Seventeen magazine give non edit a models face or consistency, always features models who are real and healthy looking, and to celebrate all different types of bodies and people.Although skinny models dominant the magazine itself, models of all different shapes and sizes have their place somewhere in its pages. Seventeen includes everyone in its pages, and caters to both type of young women who is into fashion. The women are not the only thing that ranges. be a cheap magazine, Seventeens advertisements promote not only expensive brands such as Express and American Eagle but cheaper brands such as Target and Jcpenny.One of their main articles is about shopping for jeans on a budget, which delivers the readers some options for picking out jeans to match their funds. This article is septette pages long, shows seven different brands of jeans and how a great deal they cost. In the Aeropostale ad they show collar women running arm and arm. The first female on the remaining of the ad is wearing floral jeans, the girl in the middle is wearing erosive green skinny jeans and the last girl is wearing coral colored skinny jeans.All of those jeans cost around $25, while the adjacent ads jeans average around $55. Throughout the magazine, Seventeen has also added in several(prenominal) coupons, like buying a pair of Aeropostale jeans for $20, and another one for 20% off your entire purchase at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Theyve also placed a coupon for free mini nail polish, and tips on how to redecorate their dwell for free. These sh ow that the readers of the magazine include people from all different income levels and codt cater to one particular income level.Advertisement is a multi-billion dollar diligence which is always looking for new ways to grass the consumers a product they usually dont need. It plays with the consumers wants, needs, fantasies, and insecurities to market their item, while promise that itll be faster, better, and much efficient than the rest. When pertaining women fashion, dieting and cosmetic products dominant much of the advertising world. The advertisements promise that if the readers wear this particular item, or use these products theyll be attractive. The Maybelline new(a) York advertisements are no different.This particular ad for Maybelline presents their new wag of anti-aging products, named Instant Age Rewind. The advertisement plays with the whole minimal effect by not including a model, not having a background and not adding any articulates other than the ones on the make-ups packaging. This in terms draws the readers eyes to only their products, and allows the reader to come up with their own descriptions. They in all likelihood went this way since their original Age Rewind advertisement was banned in the UK, for their model looking perfect through the use of Photoshop.On every bottle or tube of the five Age Rewind products, clearly displaces the words Instant and the word New. The word Instant promises that the effect provide happen instantaneously. That as soon as the customer puts the product on their face, theyll instantly look younger. The word new either means that this is an entirely new product, or a slight modification of a previous product. Other than New, there is no other weasel word, which means that the product promises to instantly make the customer appear younger, and not Virtually instant.Both of these words will helper market their product by promising the readers a brand new product which will instantly make them look you nger. In the ad the five Age Rewind products are lined up left to right, starting with the Finishing Powder, then the Skin Transforming Primer, The Eraser, effulgent Firming Makeup, and ending with the Conceal. Just by reading the names of the products, you already have a slight perception of what the product is retrieve to do. The Skin Transforming Primer is supposed to hide every blemish, wrinkle, and age cut while making the customer look younger. The Eraser is supposed to erase all of the blemishes hopefully permanently, and the Radiant Firming Makeup is supposed to firm the consumers face while giving it a radiant glow. Whether these products do this or not, the titles themselves is enough to sell to people who want to look younger. All of these products are either packaged in glass or plastic, with a burgundy colored plastic lid, top, or cover. The burgundy color helps attract the attention of possible customers, while standing out from the rest of the cosmetic products, which are normally red, yellow, or purple.Burgundy is a more mature color than most of the other color choices, which will help in attracting the older generation of women. Maybellines Instant Age Rewind products are aimed at the older generation of women who want to reverse time and look younger. The Anti-aging products are aimed at women in their late 30s and beyond. The ad will not fit in with the Seventeen magazine, which is aimed at women in their late teens to early twenties. Seventeens readers are more worried about cover pimples rather than turning back the wrinkles they dont have. Therefore this will not be a product theyre interested in.
