This is a photograph of two magazine images being held up with hands. One magazine page shows an older man using a phone in black and white, while the other features a woman's face with cut-out holes over the eyes, revealing another image behind it. There are cosmetics products visible with the branding "Maybelline" and a tagline that says "If you are what you on your lashes, get Great Lash." The hands holding the images are on the left and right sides of the photograph.
