Knowing Shine for the First Time would require great attention to detail, internationally sought-after director Jeffrey Darling relied on The Mill's skilled telecine team to put a gloss on it and restrain the overall colour palette to tones of pink and blue.

Colourist Damien Van Der Cruyssen ensured the model's skin tone was kept consistent throughout the outdoor lighting and studio close-ups. The colour of a dress was transformed from yellow to pink, and even the colours of the iced macaroons were enhanced to match the WaterShine lip colours.
