Dove launched, Zebra Stripes, a television advert in the UK promoting “Dove Invisible”, showing a blind woman talking through her beauty regime. “I love getting ready to go out with my friends. Gives me a chance to relax and pamper myself. Therapeutic is the word. I always keep my deodorant on the left and my hair spray on the right. I’ve got that mixed up before and it’s not a very nice experience. I choose my clothes by how they feel and I think I’m going to wear this one tonight. I’ve got to be extremely careful with deodorant. In the past I’ve used stuff and ended up looking like a zebra. I put sellotape on the end of my eye liner so I don’t get them mix it up with my lip liner. I have gone out with black lips before. Most things I do by touch since I lost my sight. I don’t know why I use a mirror. Can’t see myself. Do I look fit?” The super: “Keep your black dress black with new Dove Invisible”.
