Abstract

The cosmetics and skincare industry is currently developing very rapidly, with many advertisements for beauty products, including skincare advertisements that offer the benefits of whitening products such as FaL advertisements. Meanwhile, on average, brown-skinned Indonesian women tend to be dark. This study aims to describe the representation of beauty that is shown in the Fal Version of the Challenge advertisement, using the semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Pierce and the concept of representation. The research was conducted with a qualitative approach in an interpretive paradigm. Semiotic analysis is applied to several advertising scenes followed by triangulation in interviews with a dermatologist and an academic who observes feminism issues. The results of this study indicate that the Fal Version of the Challenge advertisement represents physical beauty, by representing the concept of beauty that is hyperreality in terms of the results to be achieved in the form of beauty that makes skin color uniform, and hyperreality in terms of processes that tend to be instant.
