The difference between computer products and make-up products is that computer products are aimed at people who think they are too smart to be sold anything they don't really want, so the advertisement must be subtle.

But that's it. Marketing products means advertising them to consumers. There's no gettting around that, no matter what the product is.

Respectfully, makeup shoppers are chemists and biologists these days – they are also unaware that they're being sold, until their bathroom drawer overflows with $2000 worth of jars.

I did not write that makeup shoppers do not include chemists and biologists. You're assuming too much.

Edit: and it's very irritating.
