Dove wanted to reignite the conversation about real beauty in a whole new way, by speaking to Photoshoppers. To do this, we disguised our message as a Photoshop Action - a downloadable tool that applies a series of effects with a single click. We posted our “Beautify” action online, promoting it as a skin glow effect. When applied, it actually reverted the photo they were manipulating back to the original and displayed a powerful message.
