Brief next

Three concepts worth testing now

Each takes a pattern from these videos and adds what none of them does yet.

01

Long wear, on the clock

Milk Makeup 1 says its complexion line lasts 12 hours and Thrive 7 says its brow gel lasts up to 36. Film one face, morning and night, with the time on screen. 13 of 49 videos claim hours or all-day wear, and no makeup video films it.

02

The salon fix, priced

Thrive 2 sells against microblading and Tarte 6 against a lash appointment. Put both costs on screen: the salon visit and the product. None of the 49 videos shows a price.

03

The sale in the first line

Tarte 1 says its teacher discount by 0:04. Kosas' 4 Sephora sale videos land their key moment at 0:49 or later. Say the discount and the end date first, then show the routine.

Brief next

Three concepts worth testing now

Each pairs a pattern that works here with a gap no brand fills.

01

Hydration you can see

Keep Hero's cleanser testimonials, said to camera by creators. Then put one hydration reading on screen, before and after the wash. 12 of 64 videos promise hydrated or not-stripped skin, and none gives a number.

02

The patch reveal, then an offer

Open on the used patch, as Hero 1 does at 0:00. Then close on a bundle and a clear CTA. Hero makes no offer in its 9 videos.

03

The result in the first 3 seconds

Lead with the half-face result DRMTLGY 2 shows later: "Dark circles are gone." 29 of 64 videos land their key moment after 0:15, when few still watch (benchmark).

Brief next

Three concepts worth testing now

Each pairs a pattern that works in these videos with a gap none of them fills.

01

The hour 24 smell check

Keep Athena 4's smell test after the gym, then check again at hour 24 with the clock on screen, as Rare Beauty 1 does for its perfume at hour 11. 13 of 32 videos promise hours or all day, and only that one checks.

02

A blind test that ends on a CTA

Copy Athena 5's partner blind test, then close on one clear line that says where to buy. Only 6 of 32 videos have a clear CTA.

03

Clean formulas, with an offer

Native says clean ingredients in 7 of its 10 videos and makes an offer in none. Pair a hook like Native 1's wellness tracker with a bundle or a price, as Lume does in 5 of 6.
