Elsa (Expressive eyes):
Emma: Wow. I love every single one of these photos.
Cate.....absolutely stunning. Beautiful and smooth skin.
Elsa......beautiful. I love the profile shot in every possible way and I love those freckles. So fucking gorgeous.
Aline......the brightness and the styling are perfect for your ad. A beautiful shot.
This is a great job! !!!
Janice: Cate's base picture is probably the one that looks most like a skin ad off the bat. I think Cate's skin looks flawless, and she looks very approachable. Good job.
Elsa's picture is probably my least favourite of the three. Her skin looks lovely, but I think there's a bit too much going on in the background, and I also think a profile shot is not the best way to show a product for the skin of your face. Half of Elsa's face is hidden, so we can't see half the product.
I don't think I would have though about doing a sun screen for a skin product. I like to be surprised. As for the product, it has very much the vibe of some vintage sun screen advertisements, I could see this selling pretty well in Australia.
Rarity: Not that I don't absolutely love these photos on their own, but Janice's ads are just the touch of spot-on perfection I needed to fully appreciate how flawless all the models' skin are.
Without the ad, Cate's has a little more white space than is necessary, but utterly beautiful aside from that.
Aline's is probably my favorite, sunscreen! That's thinking outside the box and I love it. Really well done here.
Elsa's is probably my least favorite, but still a very strong showing IMO. It's pretty clear with Elsa's big hair trying to take the spotlight her skin would have a struggle shining through, but I feel like the background is actually a blessing and brings her color into focus. So this is also well done.
Utada: For Cate, the pic could have been cropped a little on the left, but otherwise, its beautiful. Your skin looks great and the shot fits the product well.
I'm confused about what product Elsa is trying to sell here. It's a hair care product, right? Your hair looks beautiful and steals the spotlight from what you should be showing off. Otherwise, its a lovely shot.
Alone, I really like this shot. Not normally a style I gravitate towards, but it's obviously very appropriate for the theme.

Team Hara-Kiri
Xiao Wen:
Victoria (Sweet smile):
Poison Ivy (Hair):
Emma: I like these photos
Xiao......I think she looks very pretty and classy but I love that the hair is beautiful and stands out.
Victoria.....beautiful picture bit for hairspray....a bit too wild bUT gorgeous nonetheless.
Ivy......brilliantly done. So bright and vibrant. Love this.
Janice: I remember a time when shampoo ads were in black and white, and this very much has the feel of it. Xiao's hair looks beautiful, and is the main focus. I would have preferred it to be in colour though.
I'm not too thrilled about the hairspray though. I agree that it's a bit too wild. However, as a spokesperson Victoria is very approachable.
As for Ivy, her hair is full and voluminous, and is definitely the centre of attention. I think this is the best of the three.
Rarity: The great news is I knew what you were selling in all three of the photos.
The only complaint I have with Xiao is that it IS in black and white. I know, coming from me, the queen of b/w orgasms. Whatever, I feel like color would have given it a more modern feel, but otherwise, I'm in love with it.
With Victoria, I'm not sure about hairspray so much as a volumizer. But that's me being nit-picky because her hair is absolutely the center of attention and perfect for an ad.
Ivy is the clear stand-out in this line-up. I have nothing negative. Well done here.
Utada: Despite the shot being in black and white, your hair really shines. I do have to echo that I would've preferred a color shot, but that's about the only negative here.
Victoria, if this is the weakest shot on your team this round, then its just a testament to how strong your team is this week. I'm not a fan of the lighting in this shot as everything feels a bit too dirty yellow, but that's me having to search for fault.
Ivy, I love how the product is displayed and the colors really pop. Easily the strongest on your team this week.

Ivy League
Fei Fei:
Penelope:
Quiet:
Emma: Fei-Fei......fucking stunning. Beautiful in every damn way.
Penelope.......too much hair. I'm sorry but after I see her hair I go to the neck.
Quiet.....very gorgeous but not as amazing as Fei Fei
Rarity: Fei-Fei and Quiet are your stand-outs here.
Fei-Fei is everything, I have no complaints, only compliments. Her eyes are stunning.
Penelope, I agree with our resident White Queen, her hair is overshadowing and even beginning to cover one eye. Not great for an ad trio focusing on eyes.
Quiet's eyes are so soft compared to what I've seen in the past and I really enjoy it. Her hair is a little bit of a problem, but I'm really happy with the eyeshadow direction you went with.
Janice: I love the wing tip of Fei Fei's make up, however, I feel a liquid liner would have been a better product to sell for that over the pencil liner you chose. It's hard to achieve that effect with a pencil.
I like Penelope's ad for a mascara, but I do see the issue the others are having with hair. On the other hand, on my research for these products, a lot of mascara ads have similar styling.
As for Quiet, it's a nice picture, but her eyes are maybe too big compared to her chin. They are the stand out of the shot though.
Utada: Fei-Fei, I was able to easily tell what your product was solely with the original shot. And I don't mean "eye product". I mean I knew it was for an eye pencil without being told. Probably not going to get stronger product presence than this.
Penelope, its a beautiful ad and shows off the mascara well, but your hair is definitely competing for the spotlight here. Still, the eyes win out here.
Quiet, its a nice, solid shot with good quality that shows off the product. The wow factor isn't amped up, but its a solid shot with no tangible faults, so nice work.

Team Marvellous
Marloes:
Chris:
Tony Stark:
Emma: Chris......fucking amazing. So damn hot. I love this picture. He's the star and she wants him.
Tony.....I don't like this. Sorry....I don't buy it and I just don't like it.
Marloes.....so pretty and sensual.
Rarity: Oh, darling, cologne is hard when you have two guys and a girl.
I'm disappointed that Chris is sharing the spotlight in his ad. Yes, his eyes are piercing, but so are his lady partners'. I feel like you would have benefited with her either being absent or looking at him.
Tony's I'm actually loving. I'm not thrilled with the choice in art, it's kind of messy, but his muscles and half of that suit. Yes, please. This is a cologne ad.
It's amazing what happens when you save the best for last. Marloes, the only girl in your arsenal, and she has got me wanting the buy the product hook, line, and sinker. It's a little big fuzzy, but overall a great job.
Janice: I'm more in agreeance with Emma here in Chris' ad. It very much looks like a cologne ad. Usually male models are the props of female models, however this is the reverse.
With Tony, it has very much the vibe of a fragrance advertisement. However, the body is stiff, and I don't particularly like the look of his face here.
Finally, Marloes' is pretty good. I would have preferred slightly larger. The cropping is just right.
Utada: Chris definitely draws more attention, but the lady is trying to steal some. Its a good shot for a colonge ad. Sells a lifestyle and attitude.
Tony, this shot reads like a fragrance ad, but like Janice said, your body looks stiff and like Rarity touched upon, I don't care for the art style. In my case, I feel like the shading isn't consistent between your face and your body.
Marloes easily has the best shot of the three. Easy to read what product youre selling and its just an overall nice shot.
Neon Demons
Abbey Lee:
Elle:
Marceline:
Emma: Abbey.....I love this photo. Even tho her eyes are so bright and gorgeous those lips stand out so nice.
Elle.....soft and sensual. Adorable but maybe your weakest photo.
Marceline.....this has been your hardest model to work with. To date ....I haven't liked any of her photos. Until today. This is gorgeous. And your strongest photo of the round. Abbey and Elle got you here bit Marceline is shining in this shoot.
Rarity: The lipstick crew! Let's see how you did.
I agree with WQ, Abbey's eyes are drawing me, but the red of that lipstick is definitely standing out.
Elle, I kind of feel like this could be an ad for hair. The lipstick is so soft and overpowered.
Marceline, honestly, this is fantastic. I'm really happy to see you found a photo where she is the powerhouse. I've been underwhelmed by her all season and finally, she's come into her own. Great work.
Emma: Abbey's lips are the standout in this picture. However I feel it would have worked better if it were less... Zoomed in. I also don't like the nose piercing. It could be alienating to some potential buyers.
I'm going to echo the other judges in that I agree that Ella's picture is very subdued. I'll be honest, when assigning these I forgot about Elle but I knew Abbey and Marceline would excel.
As I said, Marceline's picture is excellent. The lips are the standout, and I'm not disappointed.
Utada: Abbey, your eyes do pop here, but the shade of red is strong enough to draw the eye. It would've had broader appeal without the nosering, but it still doesn't bother me.
Elle, I really do not like the lighting in this shot. Its on the verge of washing you out. It definitely does look more like a hair product, but I appreciate you giving us a lipstick color other than red. Red can get so overused in these games.
Marceline, this shot is fantastic. The lipstick pops. Youre giving good attitude. Its memorable. You just hit a lot of notes here.
