The reaction boys get to that video is COOL they made her prettier. The girls realize they're getting a raw deal. I know they're still ads, but I do like what Dove is trying to do.

For me, red eye is a given because that's not how you really look, and then anything that you could have done with makeup before the picture is cool - covering blemishes, circles under the eyes, big zits. :) I'm sure you've seen the Dove Revolution ad, no? THAT'S making a statement about beauty! Wow! I THINK this is the link to it (http://youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U) but YouTube is blocked in my district and I'm at work so I can't check just yet. If it's the one I'm thinking of - the time lapse on a model getting made up and then the photograph being photoshopped - it's a great conversation starter teens trying to be pretty.
