Creative Brief — Fenty Beauty Campaign Concept

Brand

Fenty Beauty

​

Campaign Title

“Addicted to the Look”

​

Project Overview

This campaign concept for Fenty Beauty transforms beauty into a bold cultural statement. The visual features a sculptural metallic hand holding a lipstick like a cigarette — symbolizing obsession, indulgence, confidence, and the ritualistic nature of beauty.

The composition blends surreal glam with rebellious fashion-editorial energy, creating a campaign that feels provocative, artistic, and instantly memorable. Rather than promoting perfection, the concept celebrates the addictive feeling of confidence that comes from self-expression and personal style.
