Beauty ideas to remake with your product

6 beauty product photography ideas to try

  1. Show the formula, not just the bottle

    Smear a swatch of the cream, gloss or serum on glass or skin next to the pack. Shoppers see the color and texture before they buy, which the label alone cannot show.

  2. Put the ingredients in the frame

    A slice of citrus, a sprig of rosemary or a drop of oil beside the bottle says what is inside faster than the ingredient list does.

  3. Light glass from behind

    Backlight through a serum bottle or a perfume flacon shows the color of the liquid and makes the glass glow. Front light flattens both.

  4. Show the size in a hand

    Lipsticks, serums and compacts are hard to size from a cutout. One hand holding the product answers the question in a single frame.

  5. Line up the shade range

    Shoot every shade in the same light and spacing, so a grid of variants reads as one product line instead of a dozen separate shoots.

  6. Lead with one neutral frame

    Open the gallery with an evenly lit, true-color packshot. A returning customer checks the shade against it; moodier scenes work better later in the gallery and in ads.
