Why it worked

The inclusion of cultural elements and the personal interaction between the client and artist add unique appeal.

Product placement

Facebook marketplace: ACTS - used to find the makeup artist. Removing it would change how the makeup artist was found. Tarte concealer: ACTS - used as part of the makeup application. Removing it would change the makeup application. James Charles Palette: APPEARS - a makeup palette is shown on screen. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Sri Lanka flag emoji: APPEARS - decorative. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
