Beauty advertisements often market products to women that they claim will result in poreless, even-toned and wrinkle-free skin we've seen all our lives on the pages of magazines.
But when it comes down to it, there's only one product on the market that will get us to advertisement-level "perfection." And, unfortunately, it doesn't come in a tube.
A new series from North Carolina-based photographer Anna Hill imagines parody advertisments for Adobe Photoshop, the only "beauty product" through which women can achieve otherwise unattainable standards of beauty.
"The inspiration came from years of noticing that many cosmetic ads tend to be so overly manipulated and plastic looking, that I thought they may as well be advertising Photoshop rather than what they're actually marketing," she told Mashable. "I decided to turn that idea into a fun parody project, turning the ads around to make Photoshop the beauty product instead."
