Haz una cara? Why is this the Hellman's (Best Food's) Spanish slogan?

I think the translation is "You make a face," which makes no sense to me. Does that automaticaly imply a good face? Maybe I'm just thinking too much in English.

    Haz is the imperative of hacer. I think the slogan is "Haz una cara Hellman's" - "Make a Hellman's face". Although I haven't seen the design, my guess is that a Hellman's face is a happy, smiling one.

    Haz una cara is translated to "you make a face" however when that happens its more of a negation or a sad response to the comments begin directed towards that person.

    I think it means "put on your best face" (cf. put your best foot forward).
