Looking at this my first question is What about christmas makeup? How does it help or entertain a user? Also it's sideways, so I'm a bit confused by that.

What I meant by "Christmas makeup" is that that's what the video is about, and also I put the picture side ways because I feel like it comes out better quality, and I felt like it shows the makeup look better.

I'm trying to see why should a user click on it? Save time on christmas makeup? A look to try? Think of it like this! Why do YOU click on a thumbnail? What makes you

The video says "christmas makeup" we don't need to see your whole face. Make JUST your eyes the soul focus of the thumbnail and make those eyes take the ENTIRE frame.

Use contrasting colors.
