At least that's my interpretation. Also, I found it on a site where you'd be least likely to find a makeup add.
this is an advertisement. for makeup. urban decay makeup. its saying buy our makeup rather than other peoples makeup. thats what advertising is. buy our shit, not someone elses. they are saying that anyone elses makeup will make you look like a conformist or a 'doll' ... but to instead, buy their makeup.

that is what urban decay is doing. the population who buy their products are generally younger people who do not want to look like everyone else. they are trying to find their own identity and to make themselves unique from the masses. this ad is trying to appeal to this desire. to be different. not like a 'doll.'

it would be silly for anyone to spend money on an advertisment campaign to turn people away from their product... please, dont give us your money. please. this could work, granted on an extreme angle, but generally advertisements try to sway people to buy their product rather than someone elses.
