TULA: the research behind the work

’Spresso Energizing Eye Balm

What the brand says

  • A cooling and brightening eye balm made with prebiotics, caffeine and hyaluronic acid, with an illuminating rosy finish in the Pink shade.
  • Directions: massage around the eye area, under or over makeup, for an instant pick-me-up.
  • Four shades, sold individually or as a 4-piece kit: Pink, Cappuccino, Americano and Iced.

Who the set is for

  • Makeup wearers who want a quick refresh during the day without starting their face again.
  • Shoppers already interested in caffeine eye products who want to know what is in this one.
  • Shade-led shoppers choosing between, or collecting, the four finishes.

What she wants to know

  • Will it disturb the makeup I already have on?
  • Is a cooling stick actually doing anything, or is it just a nice feeling?
  • Which of the four shades suits me?

The angle behind each ad

Ad 01 / Over-makeup use · Problem aware

Makeup on? Glow on.

A close-up of the stick going on over finished makeup shows the use case before any copy is read. The biggest hesitation is disturbing makeup, so the picture answers it first.

Ad 02 / Afternoon touch-up · Solution aware

The 3 p.m. edit

A handwritten bag checklist (lip balm, keys, eye balm) moves the product out of the bathroom and into the afternoon slump. It competes for a place in the bag, not on the shelf.

Ad 03 / Ingredient reassurance · Product aware

Small swipe. Smart formula.

A dark spec-card lists the three ingredients TULA names: caffeine, hyaluronic acid and prebiotics. It gives a curious shopper something concrete.

Ad 04 / Shade choice · Product aware

The glow menu.

A coffee-menu layout turns the four ’Spresso shade names into an order to pick. The light-hearted format makes choosing a shade part of the fun instead of an obstacle.

Ad 05 / Direct objection · Problem aware

Eye balm over makeup?

An editorial question-and-answer card answers ‘yes’ with the brand’s own directions. It is the most direct reply to the over-makeup concern.

Ad 16 / Social proof format · Product aware

A cooling swipe. A rosy glow.

A review card next to the Pink shade lets a customer voice do the persuading instead of brand copy.

Ad 17 / Shade comparison · Product aware

Pick your glow.

Four swatches side by side make the finishes easy to compare at a glance. It pairs with ad 04: a playful shade story next to a plain comparison.
