Indeed seeing your own reflection on cosmetic products, shoe, lingerie, perfume,bag, watch and so on....commercials can't be too 'flattering'. That's why these models are rewarded with a dream salary. Being beautiful is not enough to conquer the world, you have to possess a sex-appeal and be an active socialite, exposing your private life to kinky tabloids.
