Commercials have changed gradually, neither good or bad. It is hard to explain, but health and beauty are huge on the commercial market. Women + kept home to work or whatever + eating + looking in the mirror are generally unhealthy for all.
My gr-daughters have taken me to Ulta, a store that is a cornucopia for all sorts of make-up with all its enticement. They had a list and some $$ from Dad. I followed along, mentally tallying how much they needed when Dad's $$ ran out. Not much $$ at all, but it thrilled me.
Lipstick is marked as being an instigator of make-up history. Fruit dyes (no cost) for lips then. Now lipsticks are chemical magic, expensive magic at that.
Who likes lipstick? Besides teen age girls at ULTA, little girls who have found Mommy's lipstick in her purse really love lipstick.
If I have discovered this major cuteness by myself, think how many videos there might be of lipstick fans?
