An approach to the advertising of cosmetics in women's magazines published in Spain

This work analyzes the graphic advertising of the brands of the growing sector of beauty and cosmetics. We study the advertising insertions appearing in their favorite medium: women's magazines (published in Spain). Through the analysis of content and recording manifest variables, we have studied the communicative construction of these visual messages, in which the iconic resource of artistic photography prevails. The main element of the graph is a structure that tries to represent the values enunciated by the brand in the advertisement claim and the composition leads us from the model, the person personifying those values, to the product.
