Ad of the day: Shiseido - High School Girl?
This clever ad from Japanese cosmetic company Shiseido steals our ad of the day spot.
To demonstrate the power of its products, the brand has created a simple campaign featuring beautiful models who are 'made under' from female costume back into male.
Ending with the strapline 'Everyone can be pretty', the film shows a classroom full of girls from the perspective of a high school student before reversing to reveal the twist and show how the spot was created.
