02 / A PRACTICAL WORKFLOWSTART WITH YOUR PHOTO
01Photograph the exact palette revision
Open the palette and photograph it straight enough to read the entire pan layout. Record the product version and shade names in your working sheet before shooting. Keep the closed exterior, underside label and outer box in separate frames. A renamed shade or revised layout should not be silently represented by an older palette image.
ColourPop’s listing separates an open palette, packaging and swatches. Use that division of buyer questions in your own shot plan; it does not give permission to reuse their images. Keep a clean factual view of the product as supplied. If you show a used tester with powder wear, identify it as a tester rather than making every supplied pan look pre-used.
02Make swatches a real application record
Use actual product for swatches and obtain permission from anyone photographed. Record lighting, skin context, application method and number of passes in your notes so that comparisons are understandable. Keep the same processing across the series. An opaque block painted in software cannot show coverage, shimmer or how the product behaves when applied.
Photograph a matte and reflective finish under lighting that shows the difference without using different color grading for each. Keep shade-name annotations outside the product image when that improves readability. Do not recolor one swatch into another variant. A palette scene or generated face does not establish wear time, blending behavior, skin suitability or application results.
03Keep an optional scene focused on the package
Fayvoro can explore a vanity or studio setting from one rights-cleared palette photograph. Choose the real source with every pan visible and leave enough room for a crop. Do not ask the scene to supply missing swatches or to create a beauty result that you will present as use of the sold product.
Count the pans and compare their position, shape, shade order, mirror edge and hinge with the original. A convincing image can swap two colors or add a new shimmer while preserving the general package. Treat any color shift as a reason to retain the original as the buyer’s color reference. Generated powder spill is decorative and does not establish product texture or quantity.
