OVERVIEW

The goal of this campaign is to drive traffic to Sephora's skin tint collection. Skin tint products have natural finish on skin and include skincare benefits. Based on this, we focused on the idea of being natural by bringing in nature environment such as blue sky, clouds, and sunlight. Campaign headline is "A Good Skin Day in a Bottle". For the model selection, we picked a wide range of models based on ethnicity, age, and skin types.

PHOTO RETOUCHING PROCESS

During production, we worked closely with our photographer to assemble a brief to direct the overall visual aesthetic. For each round of feedback, I worked with retouching team to make sure each model has accurate product skin finish, lighting consistency, clear branding visibility and product smear color accuracy.
