Comments: A large replica of the FeatherLash mascara brush is built into the side of this display to call attention to the new product. The products are hung from hooks rather than being notched into the tray in order to accommodate smaller or larger sizes.

Client: L'Oreal Canada, Montreal
Producer: Techno P.O.S., Montreal
Comments: Used to relaunch an existing product, the objective of this display was to modernize the image of the product and attract a younger consumer. The display holds all of the new shades while still having ample space for graphics that communicate a younger image. It shipped fully assembled with a detailed planogram for retailers.

Producer: Display Producers Inc., Bronx, N.Y.
Comments: To match the color of the actual product cases, the injection-molded base of this display was made with real gold flecks mixed with plastic resin. A shade chart depicts each liner color alongside two shades of matching Colour Riche lipstick available on a similar display.
