This doppelgänger presents an e.l.f. foundation as the only way to escape.

Hook template
Steal this for your own video
Open on with a visually jarring facing the camera — the should be impossible to ignore.
- — Open on a woman with a comically orange, mismatched foundation face staring directly into the camera in a bright mall setting — the color mismatch should be impossible to ignore.
- — Open on a fitness creator standing next to a version of themselves in slouched posture and baggy clothes, shot side-by-side in harsh fluorescent gym lighting — the contrast should be impossible to ignore.
- — Open on a chef presenting a plate of visually grey, unappetizing food directly to camera in a pristine white kitchen — the dull color against the clean background should be impossible to ignore.
