Abstract

Body image or how a person appears to self has been an important part of the lives of the people. Since 19th century where corsets were a part of life of a woman to achieve perfect “hour glass” waistline to today where products advertise if not in a perfect shape people will give you less of attention! So they market products that can make you “slim” not “healthy”! Earlier, rather even now it is a societal issue, but now there are more methods and ways which are more approachable than ever before, thanks to social media and marketing apps. So they don’t let you realise how actually you are but they make you realise how important is their product for you to look that perfect as others in their advertising campaign. This is a literature review of the researches on body image and co relational studies with other variables.
