Sephora concept project visual direction
01

Objective

Help a large product catalogue feel navigable by turning discovery into guided content that leads to a specific shelf, shade or set.

02

Audience

Beauty shoppers aged 18–35 who compare products before buying and rely on tutorials and reviews to decide.

03

Strategy

Structure content around decisions: shade matching, dupes, trend explainers and tutorial breakdowns. Each piece answers one purchase question and ends with a clear next step.

  • Tutorial Reels with step overlays
  • Comparison and shade-matching carousels
  • Trend explainer short-form videos
  • UGC review reposting framework
04

Content

Content designed across formats — feed posts, carousels, Reels covers and Story sequences — shown in realistic layouts.
