Description

An abstract beauty product shot features seven strokes of black and silver cosmetic cream arranged diagonally against a gradiated grey background. The strokes start short at the bottom and increase in length toward the top. The strokes have a curved form, with the upper curve being thicker and appearing more dimensional due to the light reflecting off the surface of the cream. Most strokes feature a gradient of light silver highlighting. One stroke has a streak of red in the middle, breaking the monochrome palette. The background is a soft, light grey, with a subtle gradient that gives the image depth and emphasizes the strokes.
