YSL Beauty Valentine's
When compositing goes too far
Another Valentine's campaign, this time from YSL (@yslbeauty)'s "Sparkling Desires Collectors" collection. If Curology was realistic, this one looks like too much compositing went into it. The boxes and the bag (especially pink) lack information. I cannot understand what texture it is. It just looks like someone used Paint Bucket Tool and added a bit of gradient for volume, which doesn't look realistic. The products are also photoshopped straight into the box without even trying to make them look realistic, particularly challenging with those gradient metallic finishes from silver to golden-pink. It shows they didn't care much for their images this time, just threw things together.
