The Dubai-born Faces (Wojooh) beauty store concept needed to differentiate its offerings by showing audiences its beauty expertise and local know-how. Faces’ agency thus created Wojooh Jamalek (Faces of Your Beauty), a live 15-minute beauty contest that ran on MBC1’s Sabah Al Kheir Ya Arab program, placing Arab makeup artists in competition against each other. Our team was tasked with capturing moments of the project and providing content to accompany the competition. The project eventually won awards at the 2014 Dubai Lynx.
