| Abstract |
| This study aims to examine the effect of the advertising image of a product on makeup and to stress its importance by analyzing the makeup of the bag advertisement of Louis Vuitton, which has become an internationally famous brand with an image of tradition and popularity.
Targeting the bag ads in newspapers between 2006 and 2010, this study investigated the characteristics of the makeup images in the ads. After dividing the ads into the S/S and F/W seasons, the texture, line, and color of the makeup in the ads were analyzed and compared with the trend makeup in the same season to discover the unique characteristics of Louis Vuitton`s bag ads.
The results showed that in the S/S season, bags in brighter colors that were made with lighter materials were mainly advertised, and accordingly, the makeup also focused on lighter and more colorful looks with natural color expression on a glossy texture. In the F/W season, however, the ads mainly showcased the classic design and color of bags made with heavier materials. Accordingly, the makeup also stressed elegance and class on a matte texture.
The comparison between the makeup in the Louis Vuitton ads and the trend makeups showed that as opposed to the trend that expressed natural lines on a glossy texture, the makeup in the Louis Vuitton ads expressed texture and lines differently by season and by ad concept. While the colors of the two makeups were similar, the Louis Vuitton ads expressed a sexy image, with the stress on the eyes slanting upward and the lips.
The comparison of the image positions in the makeup in the Louis Vuitton ads and in the trend makeup showed that as opposed to the trend makeup that used many romantic images, the makeup in the Louis Vuitton ads mainly used sexy images. This shows that the advertising concept of Louis Vuitton, which aims to express splendid and sexual images of women, is identical to the image of makeup. |
