Does the Lifestyle Scene type work for glossy or dark lipsticks, palettes and compacts?

Yes. The opening frame lights the lipstick for its material, and the lifestyle Scene motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective lipsticks, palettes and compacts, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Which shape should a cosmetics lifestyle Scene be?

16:9 or 9:16 is the usual choice; the shape chips in the Studio switch it before rendering. TikTok Shop and Shopify players each have a preferred shape, listed on the platform pages.

Q: Will my lipstick stay identical through the lifestyle Scene?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the shade, case finish and product color as uploaded, and the Lifestyle Scene motion — the camera pushes, drifts or orbits while the scene breathes and the product stays still — moves the camera and the light rather than the product. Compare the clip with the lipstick before you publish.

The Lifestyle Scene type turns a lipstick tube into b-roll in a real-world scene preset — the camera pushes, drifts or orbits while the scene breathes and the product stays still. For cosmetics that means a swatch of the shade swiped beside the case, in a clip five to ten seconds long, with the shade, case finish and product color held in every frame.

Every lipstick in the range can go through the same Lifestyle Scene settings, so the Shopify collection page and the PDP galleries look like one shoot. Swap Lifestyle Scene for another type with one click to split-test lipsticks, palettes and compacts.
