Liplab asked us to create content that better tells the story of its know-how, its world and the people who bring it to life.

01 — The context

A lipstick bar where everyone creates their own.

Lip Lab is an American brand, born in New York, now establishing itself in France. Its Paris space opens in the heart of Le Bon Marché: an inventive, colourful lipstick bar where each customer co-creates the lipstick of her dreams.

Guided by a colour expert, she chooses the shade, finish, fragrance and even the name of the product, then follows her lipstick from creation to case. An experience by appointment, lasting about an hour.

How do you convey a tailor-made experience in a few seconds?
How do you show the creative gesture, the pigments, the colours?
How do you make people want to step up to the stand?

This is where That Dog steps in.

02 — The challenge

Turning expertise into image.

The goal was not simply to produce a video. We had to create visual material able to:

introduce the companybuild trusthumanise the teamsshow the know-howshowcase the working environmentfeed the different channels
Our approach

Not just filming what Liplab does.

Showing why it matters.

03 — The That Dog response

A production designed as an ecosystem of content.

Rather than producing a single piece of content, That Dog builds a production that multiplies the ways it can be used.

The Liplab package at a glance

Liplab ends up with a consistent set of content rather than a single video that quickly becomes outdated.

04 — What we created

The whole package, in images.

The brand film

Liplab, seen differently.

An image can explain expertise. A good image can above all make people want to trust it.

On the stand at Le Bon Marché

The stand, then the customers’ voice

A video presents the stand at Le Bon Marché, then two Liplab customers share their experience there. These testimonials were designed and produced by That Dog for Liplab: content that gives a voice to the people who buy the products and talk about them.

Shot at the studio

Two advert-style videos, shot at the That Dog studio

The two advert-style videos were produced at the That Dog studio. Lighting, set, framing and movement are fully controlled there: a precise staging of the product, shot once and then adapted into formats for each platform. The first one is shown above; here is the second.
