I am old man and my life experience tells me that what women believe on the inside is what influences what they look like on the outside because their glow, energy and eyes, voice and motions communicate their beauty far more than their shapes, hair, color, or height. Beauty begins from the inside. Bless Dove for providing this for our culture. Men should be seeing this too. It would help them to appreciate women on a whole different level.

[@easilyamused713]

I feel like a rare breed of human being who is actually 100% happy with my appearance, and I really wish I could make others feel that way. Sometimes I feel bad because I have this abundance of confidence, and all my friends and my sisters have so many insecurities, and I wish I could make them feel the same. Ladies and gentlemen, you are all perfect. You're amazing and attractive and unique. Don't ever- EVER- let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@JuliaPadro]

The girl in the red shirt who said insecurity=Different=unique=beautiful has awesome words of wisdom. And looks super nice and cute. You go girl!

[@malinmumbai]

My daughter had this response when she saw the Dove logo at the end. "IT'S AN AD! IT'S MADE TO SELL SOMETHING!!!"

[@exisanon2823]

Talk about beauty. The girl's hair in 1:43 is just awesome :)

[@vilchezleonel]

Love yourself and that will show people how beautiful you are!

[@panthersnbraves]

I work with a small group of girls, and I love this whole series. "I'm tool tall" "I'm too short" "I have braces" Nope. I love them all - they way they laugh, the way they care, the way they light up when they smile, the way they think.

[@motherofdragons31]

This is my old high school and I couldn't be more proud! I so wish there had been a program like this when I was attending, I could have learned so much. Thank you for giving that opportunity to future generations of girls who need to know that they are beautiful.

[@JillCordoni]

As a mother of two girls, this documentary really hit home. We all need to hold ourselves to positive image regardless on what the industry a and others say is beautiful

[@BakkiBoo]

She nailed it The girl at the end.... " I think beauty is being strong, and being brave, and being Happy with yourself!"

[@Lovesickobsession19]

THIS is how you show people that beauty comes in all forms! Nice work, Dove, I'm crying right now because this is... this is just amazing

[@HilaryPeterson]

I am really impressed with what Dove and Unilever did to create this beauty project. What every girl and mother needs to see.

[@laurenmackenzie2014]

If any of the girls or their mom's ever read these comments... I thought you were all beautiful and I cried happy tears for you. Beautiful girls, beautiful moms- beauty is not defined by a magazine it is defined by US.

[@-notinuse-5949]

all of these girls are beautiful

[@AbrahamWilliams]

Dove has some great self image marketing.

[@cywphotography6273]

This video captures the very essence behind the passion of my work with teens. Don't ever be afraid to put yourself out there! You are beautiful!

[@HereComesTheBoom3648]

While this is pretty cool I have two problems with it. 1. They chose all good looking females. You can guess why they didn't want any unattractive ones. 2. Males have insecurities and are made fun of too, yet what is even worse for them is that they are expected to take it and nobody cares. Where's the male workshop?

[@arielneil6161]

OKAY, where is the one for the guys? Why are boys always left out of the equation? Is it impossible for boys to feel insecure? Boys take selfies too and have body issues.

[@MissieKurr]

beauty is being strong, being brave, being happy with yourself... I love that!

[@ShenazZ]

A new way at looking at Selfies!! Beauty is being happy with yourself!

[@AngryNerdBird]

I really liked this, but then the realization that I just watched a commercial kind of soured it a little bit.

[@emilyotto1545]

I love this. Every one of these girls are beautiful! I have insecurities, just like others. I wish everyone could just not label each other... stop saying "you're fat," or "you're ugly," I mean it hurts! It makes people feel super bad! A couple days ago on my instagram I realized how fun it was to make people's days. I complimented someone and they wrote back about how special they felt. Brighten somebody's day, don't ruin it. Trust me, it'll raise your self esteem a ton more than criticizing somebody. c:

[@Glorfindel987]

your personality is your beauty. cheers

[@janisallen8687]

Congratulations to the production company that did this work! Great job!

[@Realmommedia]

What an AMAZING and inspiring story! It was such a pleasure to be apart of such an incredible movement! #BeautyIs

[@AlyMewGaming]

=) everyone is beautiful in their own way.

[@Glorfindel987]

beauty is personality. nuff said

[@PatriotIzzy]

Not really. You might have a beautiful personality, but when you say someone is beautiful, you don't mean their personality, you mean their appearance.

[@aurorablack55]

PatriotIzzy I think that beautiful isn't limited to appearance, like the word pretty is.

[@Mappyman]

Such an open, honest and positive message. These ladies are all beautiful.

[@foreveresque]

Dove really taking advantage of everything they can for their campaigns, I love it, it's genius. Please someone get those Dove marketers a drink

[@PaigeLavoie]

Oh dove campaigns, you melt my heart

[@cathylee8360]

Don't be insecure about yourself. Confidence makes you BEAUTIFUL!!! If you think you are beautiful, then YOU ARE, and NEVER let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@lourdesr2001]

I watched this and the first thing I said was, "these girls are beautiful. I'm not. I like to wear makeup, it makes me look less ugly. I'm insecure, my mom isn't, neither my dad. I see the girls in the video, beautiful smile. But on me, it doesn't work. How can someone love me if i don't love myself, I can't I'm too terrible." I love the video though. It was very amazing. Inspiring. Good job! Sincerely, Forever Alone.

[@MakeupByTwin]

Beauty is be your self, complement your self!! No matter who is next to you take a selfie I'm a makeup artist and believe me a lots of girls came to me saying I'm ugly thats way i don't take picture and do my makeup but once i do for them and let them look at the mirror oh my lord they complement they're self and i feel happy

[@jilliantrujillo9173]

oh my god.. I love this so much. All these girls are so wonderful and sweet, it made me want to cry when they talked about the things they didn't like about themselves, because all I could see were these sweet little angels.

[@dsnyngnr2015]

That was beautiful. Every woman deserves to put themselves out there without any reservations.

[@rainapriester9865]

The girl who said that she hates her whole face is beautiful

[@charlotteroland147]

2:08 I love how that girl was laying on the redhaired girls shoulder ❤️

[@MegaPrincessviolet]

one of my favorite ads from dove :)

[@MDDavis01]

Why are we celebrating the equating of "beauty" as value? Every person seems to suggest that what makes them "beautiful" is something other than their appearance, yet that is the "vehicle" used to express it.

[@daway212]

Beauty huh? It allows one to strive for somethin, yet it could also create unnecessary insecurities. Risk-reward, double-edged sword.

[@SouledOutEm]

Love the message this is trying to get across, good job dove!!!

[@rachelebsmith]

I'm going to share with my mom ASAP

[@stephevemadrid]

What a powerful film. LOVED IT!

[@DonnaFenn]

Berkshire girls rock in every way!!

[@sarahlisewski8251]

I'm crying right now.

[@jenniferallyssa]

shed some tears. love this.

[@driaabryant4114]

Everyone is beautiful when you believe you are! #beauty

[@stayfly1977]

that mixed girl is drop dead gorgeous ! w/ or w/out make-up

[@Maititis]

This is truly amazing, thank you for puttin a smile on my face everytime.

[@danicataylor4199]

I absolutely love this.

[@AndraBria]

the girl with the braces and glasses is super smart and funny> that's what makes her beautiful and charismatic, that's what Dove should promote.

[@breezybee4230]

I absolutely adore this!

[@anniedo794]

Who would dislike this?

[@girlology6465]

Beautiful and powerful. Totally worth the time to watch.

[@carolynpenny7919]

Aww this is such a sweet film. It's completely empowering as well. I really encourage young girls to watch this. I wish I had learned how important it is to embrace your flaws and everything you are at a younger age.

[@DinaTous]

I REALLY enjoyed this film!

[@RachelJSimmons]

i love this so much

[@Belinda2812]

Touching....love it!

[@lupymaria590]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!

[@katherinebryant8964]

I loved this, Now how do I live it again.

[@angelaeagle5457]

ngl this made me cry a little

[@MsRanialove]

i teared up a little! :')

[@noquierounusuario]

What a great video, I sometimes feel we live in a shallow world , but this one portraits a whole different concept

[@ChasAllan]

Dear Dove, I wanted to share this with my mom who's hearing impaired, so she could share it with my sister. I think it's a lovely commercial for your product. I tried using the youtube cc generator and unfortunately it comes up with mostly gibberish. Not that it's your fault or responsibility, but you should know you can transcribe your own captions and them submit them to sync with your video. I feel you might reach a deeper demographic, including grandmothers, if you included proper captions. Okay? Good. Now I gotta go clean up these damn onions...

[@madicf8270]

I just love it ... And yes every girl its beatiful in there own way!!!!! :)

[@brookefuller1756]

I love this! Wait to go Dove.

[@LindaT914]

Dove did it again!

[@claudia-bs6hf]

There all so pretty there lucky they actually can take selfie

[@gocanadayayyy]

This is just perfect.

[@ursula.m8265]

Dove, should do more of this work shop! Cool.

[@TheAnahuerta1995]

I Love This!!

[@14Qu33N]

I love the message of it!

[@SineadEllenG]

I agree that these things do affect men too but women are far more affected as a whole. The majority of ads regarding appearance etc. are directed towards women and so it is important to have an ad like this - in the same category, directed at the same group of people but with a much more positive and inspiring message than the ads and media that surrounds people today.

[@leilaelayan184]

"When they said they were insecure about things, those were the things that made them different, but the things that made them different, made them unique. And that made them beautiful." 5:37

[@EmoPunkWhatever]

This made me cry ♥

[@holypicklesmofo]

I love the idea, but they're still redefining BEAUTY. Why can't we just get rid of the value in that concept? We put so much misplaced worth in how we look. As a 16 year old girl, I'm just sick of it. Why can't we focus on the worth in our talents, in our kindness, in our generosity, in our intelligence, in our love. It just seems so off.

[@RomoMonster]

I love this video so much

[@OfficialIMVUMusicVid]

Every school should do this

[@davidaames3298]

to the girl who doesn't like her braces [no of us did], her glasses [they're just glasses], her whole face [please don't say that again, because you might start to believe and then you'd just be wrong] remember that people that might say those awful things means nothing, - i think you're very sweet.

[@danielu7143]

Beautiful !!

[@TheMessenger312]

I think this has a lot of good thoughts but what about all the girls that "don't look good in selfless" or just aren't beautiful on the outside like people think they should be? I think this commercial or project should focus more on inner beauty. They're big epiphany at the end was "oh, I realized I am beautiful." They should be like " I realized that beauty isn't everything." Also, guys have self confidence issues too!!! But hey, it's still a GREAT VIDEO :)

[@meredithsanders4223]

I love this! So encouraging and uplifting. I agree with feeling like you have to be like the magazines and movies, where every girl looks like Megan Fox! And guys have to deal with this too! They have to be buff and tan! But beauty isn't one specific mold, it's uniqueness that's makes us wonderful!

[@honeybunnysam]

I love this video

[@lolakawaiiable]

This is beautiful one of the best videos ever it's really inspiring

[@victoriaknackstedt2129]

that was amazing. i actually teared up a bit! i never take selfies for all those reasons.

[@KimWoodruff123]

Sharing this with my girl scout troop

[@taraw21]

awesome filmed in my town!

[@sweetmslovinglife]

Awesome! We all should do this with our families & friends. What a Wonderful message.

[@peachpuddin]

The best video on KZbin!!

[@makjazz7]

wow ...caught off guard... i really enjoyed this video... thx so much for posting

[@rachelebsmith]

This is amazing!!!

[@wcarlo75]

we really have to learn and teach that beauty is in all of us....we must first see it in ourselves to be able to see it in others....and who said that there is one definition for beauty....who said this and if they ever did...why would we ever believe them?!?...why?!?....be beautiful all....

[@catrinasmith7426]

Awesome video. It made me feel better abuot myself as well.

[@catrinasmith7426]

Yes, redefining beauty from your own perspectice. How you feel about yourself!

[@briijohnston]

LOVE

[@mariet9642]

so ccute

[@Hispaniclifevlog]

Food 🍕🍔🍟🍗🍖🍖🍛🍤🍱🍙🍘🍚🍜🍲🍢🍴 I needz more food!!

[@IamMeadhbh]

Love this :D

[@1992soccaplaya]

I would have loved to see the challenge force them to use the first shot they took. That would make us see our TRUE beauty. It was absolutely incredible though.

[@tessabradjimenez8146]

Everyone should watch this. Especially Mothers and Daughters :)

[@Dalal9797]

Amazing. Everyone is beautiful in his way. There's beauty in every single person. And what you see your self isn't always true people see you in a different way. Most of the time it's better ♥ what makes a the person girls in peteculr really beautiful is being confident about her self. ( in my opinion ) everyone shouldn't not even mustn't complain about the thing the have been born with that they can't change such as rounded face or what ever. If we can make things better we should such as being a little over waight ! You can change that and exercise more often . We are who we are. It's not fair to live our lives un confident about or selfs Love your self ♥ BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE YOU ARE ♥♥
