We see it differently because what seems to you to be an effort to help society progress to me seems a rather cynical advertising campaign that falls wildly short of the goal.
If I wanted to promote the idea of differing standards of beauty, I'd use women who perhaps weren't so obviously so close to what society is presently looking for. Even in the video where they transform the model, the model at the beginning is still someone we would regard as attractive in real life, particularly after make-up is applied.
It seems to me to be a move by a cosmetics company that generally offer products that prey on women's insecurities to capitalize on a popular idea without actually having to implement the standard much.
"You're fine just the way you are; here, buy our cellulite lotion" isn't that progressive, it seems to me.
