Challenge
Maybelline New York and FFFACE.ME launched the World’s Largest AR Mirror, transforming the Gulliver shopping mall’s iconic LED screen into a real-time interactive AR experience for Valentine’s Day. This time, the activation focused not only on beauty—but on self-love, emotional connection, and brand engagement at scale.
Valentine’s Day traditionally centers around romantic messaging, leaving out a large portion of consumers who may not identify with traditional love narratives. Maybelline wanted to:
- Create an inclusive campaign centered around self-love and positive identity.
- Drive emotional engagement with the brand through interactive storytelling.
- Turn a high-traffic location into a real-time participation hub where users are not just observers, but co-creators of content.
