Maybelline 2016

Snapchat Hack

In August 2016, Maybelline launched their new foundation cream - The Dream Velvet Foundation.

But Maybelline was not alone. ​​​​​​​With at least 20 competitor brands that were pushing out their products, how can we ensure our product stood out like a zit?

Instead of promising unrealistic, retouched, studio perfect skin. We brought our brand closer to young women, we tapped into their daily behaviour and discovered their secret to achieving flawless looking skin. Snapchat’s beautifying filters gave them almost perfect looking skin.

This was when we asked ourselves. “What if you can have selfie perfect skin, in real life.”
