Pictures, Words, Names & Copyright

Hi Geeks,

I want to do some leaflets to promote myself and to pop thrugh peoples doors as I have just started up again, learnt some new skills and want to get some customers.

I noticed tonight watching X Factor that Cheryl Coles lashes looked lovly and long without looking too long and hugely obviously false like Jordans and thought this would be a really great way to get people to buy into having semi permanent lashes. If I use their names on my leaflets would I be breaking the law in anyway and what if I used pictures of them?

I'm not going to put anything about Jordans lashes looking horrible cos I understand that wouldn't look good and I know there are people out there that want that I just wanted to put something along the lines of the lashes I do looking naturally beautiful like Cheryl's rather than extreme like Jordans.

Help! xxx

Legally you can't use their names or pictures without permission from them if you're trying to sell something.

shame - thanks for that though, at least I won't get myself into trouble! Can anyone suggest any good wording/phrases to use to promote my nails and lash business without using celebs names whilst still insinuating that you could look like a celeb? Thanks xx

Well you could say 'Get the celebrity lashes and nails look'
or 'Look like a celeb with beautiful eyes and nails'
or ' Get the star treatment with fabulous nails and lashes' Just a few suggestions. Hth
