Beauty by ILLUM

Beauty, as it as.

Created for ILLUM Beauty Hall, the campaign explored a more contemporary approach to beauty. Inspired by the rise of clean beauty, the work shifted focus away from heavy application and towards skin, texture and individuality.

Products were photographed directly against the skin, transforming the body into both canvas and landscape. A visual approach that celebrated beauty products without losing sight of the person wearing them.

 

Campaign

Developed to bring attention to ILLUM Beauty Hall’s extensive selection of luxury beauty brands and in-store services, the campaign introduced a more modern beauty perspective. One that reflected changing consumer attitudes while remaining firmly positioned within the premium category.

The work appeared across digital advertising, retail, the ILLUM Key app and website, as well as prominent window placements on Strøget and Købmagergade. A series of How-To films extended the campaign into social media, highlighting products, brands and services through useful, engaging content.

Impact

The campaign helped extend the visual identity of ILLUM Key while giving Beauty Hall a more contemporary expression across physical and digital touchpoints. The How-To content also created an ongoing format for building brand awareness and engagement beyond the core campaign.
