# Storyline
- The ad begins by framing a common question, 'Your ‘Skin's Glow’ Starts Here', drawing the viewer in and setting the stage for a discussion about skincare solutions. The brand is taking the perspective of a beauty advisor, who understands the audience's desire for radiant skin and positions itself as the starting point for achieving that goal.
- The ad identifies common skin concerns under the heading 'I HAVE,' which includes visible pores, uneven tone/hyperpigmentation, fine lines & wrinkles, and dry/oily combination skin. The customer's perspective is being used here. The ad acknowledges the audience's pain points to establish relevance and empathy.
- The ad transitions to 'I NEED,' highlighting what the target consumer needs to overcome traditional foundation issues. The brand aims to highlight how traditional foundations are a quick fix with no skincare benefits, crease fast, leave a heavy, cakey finish, and only work for one shade. This narrative beat builds on the previous one, emphasizing the shortcomings of traditional foundations.
- Finally, under 'YOUR RESULT', a comparison is drawn between traditional foundation and Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46. The brand's perspective is used, highlighting that the brand's product, the Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46, is a sheer tinted moisturizer with SPF 46, hydrates, blurs pores that works for all tones & nourishes with niacinamide, vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid for a smooth, crease-free, dewy, radiant finish. This offers a visual solution and reinforces the brand's product as superior.
