These ads play up products more in tune with the times such as skin and eye care products and home hair-coloring kits."You don't have to wear makeup. But it helps," reads the tagline for makeup brand Revlon on recent Instagram posts, telling consumers they can still curl their eyelashes,"even if you can’t curl up to your special someone."
