@thelipsticklesbians Amplify Flexi Powder was built for experimentation. There's no one right way to use it, only movement, play, and transformation. 〰️ Use it dry by applying direction to your skin for a subtle hint of color 〰️ Use it wet by activating with setting spray for bold, reflective payoff. It clings to skin with a pearlescent sheen that sets in seconds on contact. 〰️ Use fingers to smooth onto lids, cheeks, or lips - or a dense brush for full impact and shine. The only rule is, there are no rules. #leakedlabs #thelipsticklesbians #makeup #beauty #productdevelopment

Demonstrating flexible makeup powder applicationfrom @thelipsticklesbians

[01]

Overview

The creator introduces a novel flexible makeup powder, physically bending a sheet of it to show its unique solid-yet-pliable texture. She then pivots to demonstrating multiple ways to apply the product, showing how spraying it with setting spray transforms it into a liquid metal, and comparing the sheer, watercolor finish of a dry finger application to the intense, icy chrome effect of a wet brush application.

Hook analysis

What stops the scroll in the first 3 seconds

Verbal hook · 25%

This is the world's first flexible powder.

Visual hook · 75%

The creator holds up and physically bends a large, shiny, copper-colored sheet of makeup directly to the camera, creating immediate visual intrigue because powder is typically loose, not a flexible solid sheet.

Hook template

Steal this for your own video

Creator holds [unexpected physical form of a familiar product] directly up to camera and physically [action that defies expected product behavior], letting the visual contradiction do the work before a single word is spoken.

  • — Creator holds up a sheet of what appears to be solid chocolate directly to camera and bends it in half like a piece of rubber, revealing it is a flexible protein bar that behaves nothing like food should.
  • — Creator holds a frozen-looking block of what appears to be ice up to camera and presses their thumb straight through it like wet sand, showing the material is a dissolvable cleaning tablet in a form nobody expects.
  • — Creator holds a rigid flat square of what looks like denim fabric up to camera and crumples it into a ball with one hand, revealing it is a paper-thin portable phone case that collapses completely flat.

Transcript

This is the world's first flexible powder. It's Amplify Flexi Powder by Leech Labs. I'm gonna show you the ways that I like to play. You can use it dry, you can use it better. It's so adaptable. When it gets best, it will redry back to its original form. You can use better, you can use micellar water, you can use setting spray. I'm gonna show you what it looks like to spray rank best. One single spray. As this liquefies, it looks like liquid better. And when I lay this down on my eyes, I want you to see how this is gonna start to look icy. The more wet you make the product, the more liquefied or chrome and metallic it's gonna be. And even when you layer flexi, it doesn't feel or look heavy on the eyes. You can mold it to your finger and you can apply it directly on skin. When it dries down, it's more of a sheer soft application, more of a watercolor veil.
