For better or worse, many new beauty launches are accompanied by scandal and to promote its Hypnôse Drama Mascara, Lancôme cleverly manufactured feel-good drama to amplify excitement around the product.
For the Silent Drama campaign, Lancôme tapped longtime friends and Giggly Squad hosts Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo. The Lipstick Lesbians—known for educating their TikTok audience about beauty product formulations, ingredients and components—began one of their videos as usual in Sephora, and shared a peek at drama happening in the background of the retail store. Captivated commenters quickly got invested but were left to speculate and lip-read to attempt to decode what they just witnessed.
In the latest episode of Giggly Squad, Berner and DeSorbo revealed that they were complimenting each other's lashes and “Hypnôse Drama's BFF,” the all-new Lip Idôle Butterglow. "In a world often filled with unnecessary and negative drama, we chose to amplify the drama that makes you smile," said Ramzy Burns, General Manager of Lancôme US.
