The $12 vs. $120 Glow-Up Test

Create a punchy 9:16 TikTok beauty comparison: one creator tests a $12 drugstore glow routine against a $120 luxury routine on opposite sides of her face. Start with an extreme macro of dry skin texture, then use a smooth centered dolly-in as each product blends. Cut to a 50mm split-screen close-up showing matching foundation, cream blush, and highlighter under identical conditions. Use soft daylight from a large window, subtle bounce fill, crisp skin detail, and clean neutral styling. Add satisfying fingertip taps and quick text overlays reading “$12 side” and “$120 side.” End with a dramatic side-by-side reveal and the creator pointing to her favorite for Instagram Reels and TikTok comments.
