A strong value proposition can serve as a point of differentiation in a competitive landscape, helping brands carve out a distinct identity and attract a loyal customer base. By consistently delivering on their promises and staying true to their core values, makeup brands can foster trust and loyalty among consumers, turning them into brand advocates who champion their products to friends and followers. In essence, the power of brand value proposition in makeup lies in its ability to forge meaningful connections with consumers beyond the transactional exchange of goods. It's about creating a shared sense of purpose and belonging that transcends the boundaries of traditional marketing and fosters a community of like-minded individuals united by their love for beauty and self-expression. As consumers continue to demand more from the brands they support, the importance of a strong value proposition in makeup will only grow. By embracing authenticity, inclusivity, and sustainability, makeup brands can not only meet the evolving needs of their customers but also make a lasting impact on the industry as a whole. After all, beauty is more than skin deep – it's about the values we uphold and the stories we tell through the products we choose to adorn ourselves with.

Competing on price isn’t a strategy - it’s a shortcut to irrelevance. Success lies in building a brand that resonates deeply with consumers by offering unique value. Let’s explore two makeup brands that have mastered this in completely different ways: First, there’s Glossier, a prestige makeup brand founded by Emily Weiss. Weiss didn’t set out to create a budget alternative to high-end makeup. Instead, she built a brand rooted in connection. Starting with a blog that felt like an exclusive backstage pass to celebrity beauty routines, she cultivated a loyal community of beauty enthusiasts. When Glossier transitioned into a makeup line, it carried that insider aesthetic forward, offering not just products, but an experience and a sense of belonging. For Glossier’s audience, it’s not just about makeup - it’s about being part of something bigger. On the other end of the spectrum is e.l.f.. Designed to appeal to savvy consumers who love premium quality without the premium price, e.l.f. quickly found its niche. But the real magic happened when the brand leaned into building an online community and actively engaging with its consumers. By adopting a digital-first strategy that turned fans into vocal brand advocates, e.l.f. transformed from a value brand to a cultural movement. Here’s the key takeaway: The value of your brand isn’t defined by what the products cost - it’s defined by the unique value you bring to your audience. How are you creating value that sets your brand apart? #BrandStrategy #ValueOverPrice #MarketingInsights

L’Oréal: "True Match" campaign "Everyone deserves to find their True Match" was the campaign's main theme, highlighting the idea that beauty is inclusive and should be available to people from all backgrounds. The term "True Match" addresses the need for personalization. Consumers searching for makeup that matches their own skin tone and undertones will find it appealing as it implies that the product is made to be a customized and the perfect answer for each individual. True Match is still one of L'Oréal's signature products, and its success shows how effective primary research can be in understanding how authentically meeting customer demands is what the word “true” communicates. The language of "True Match" was successful because it balanced uniqueness, emotional appeal, simplicity, and inclusion. How can brands use primary research to connect more with their customers needs? For more information: https://lnkd.in/gwehBVP2

In the beauty world, hitting that $100 million revenue mark isn’t just a vanity metric—it’s a signal. A signal that your brand is ready to go big or find its perfect exit. But here’s the truth: getting there is much more than a clever launch or trend. It’s about building a brand with the foundations to convert early buzz into something lasting. At the NEXT Summit in LA by BeautyMatter, led by the brilliant John Cafarelli, industry trailblazers broke down what it takes to reach that milestone. From creating brands driven by purpose to choosing the right distribution strategies, this panel was a roadmap for founders who aren’t just looking for quick wins—they aim to build brands that endure. Some standout insights? Ju Rhyu of Hero Cosmetics emphasised the power of spotting untapped market needs. Colette Laxton from The INKEY List | B Corp List reminded us that a consumer-centric mission is everything. Marc Elrick of @Byoma showed how deep brand purpose fuels loyalty. And Carolyn Aronson of It's a 10 Haircare ? She’s proof that the “slow and steady” approach can still win in a fast-paced, TikTok-driven world. The bottom line? Hitting $100 million doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intention, innovation, and a rock-solid commitment to your mission and your consumers. Because the brands that make it aren’t just chasing revenue—they’re built to stand the test of time.

Valued at $1.8 billion, Glossier's minimalist approach to skincare and makeup resonates with modern consumers who prioritize enhancing natural beauty. With over 5 million customers globally, Glossier stands out for three key reasons: 1) a direct-to-consumer model that fosters a personal connection with customers, 2) community-driven product development that integrates real feedback, and 3) cult-favorite products like Boy Brow and Milky Jelly Cleanser that have created a loyal following.

How to hit 1M+ organic views in less than one week: Chiara Nicole Gero and I were in tears shooting this content for NYX Professional Makeup / L'Oréal, and it's been so great to see my team and I weren't the only ones to find this to be an extremely silly goofy time. Finding our edge with our audience has been all about making our relationship center, well, relatability! I see folks so often get tangled in their our own agenda or getting tied up in specific KPIs that it can be easy to lose sight of what is so paramount in social- human connection. When this comes first, the numbers are sure to follow. Take a peek, reflect, and ask yourself.... have *I* ever engaged in clear lippie behavior?? (gasp)

A captivating brand story differentiates your brand and connects emotionally with consumers. It should highlight your mission, values, and the unique journey behind your products. Example: Tatcha, a luxury skincare brand, has a compelling story rooted in Japanese beauty rituals. Tatcha’s narrative centers around traditional Japanese skincare secrets and the meticulous craftsmanship of their products. This story not only enhances their brand’s allure but also fosters a deeper connection with customers who value authenticity and heritage.

From my experience, a unique brand tone of voice can significantly elevate a beauty brand. So why does this matter? A well defined brand tone of voice can: ✅ Transform each brand encounter, making it feel unmistakably familiar ✅ Boost customer engagement ✅ Differentiate a brand in a crowded marketplace However, it's surprising how many emerging indie brand founders overlook this crucial aspect The result? Brand experiences that come across as inconsistent or lack any personality In this piece, I delve into ways beauty founders can craft their brand's voice And I shine a light on brands like Fenty Beauty and Nécessaire, Inc. Which I believe set the gold standard for distinctive brand tonality Click here to read more: https://bit.ly/3xhG6d2 #beauty #skincare #cosmetics #beautybusiness #beautyindustry"

In today's beauty landscape, authenticity reigns supreme. Consumers are seeking more than just products, they crave genuine connections and meaningful experiences with the brands they interact with. Forward-thinking beauty brands are reshaping their approach, putting consumers at the heart of the process. This concept is about more than just product development, but strives to build a dialogue and a community, and foster loyalty while also driving innovation and growth. Brands like France-based Respire and Nidéco are placing consumer co-creation at the forefront of their strategies. Nidéco, a skin, hair, and body care brand, is committed to the co-creation approach and asks its customers what types of products, formulas, and packaging they’d like to see, even asking for input on consumers’ ideal price points to develop their products. Meanwhile, Respire, a natural personal care brand that debuted in 2019, has formed a co-creative community called La Ruche, or “the Hive” in English, to gather consumer thoughts, opinions, and ideas. Over in Italy, skin and hair care brand Syster was created through direct contact with its community of 60,000 beauty lovers. Launched in 2021, the brand co-creates its ranges of products with formulas and formats adapted to their community’s lifestyles and daily beauty needs. Here’s to the power of consumer creativity and community-driven development! #BEAUTYSTREAMS #BeautyBusiness #BeautyIndustry #BeautyTrends #ConsumerCoCreation #ProductDevelopment #BeautyCommunity Text on image: Consumer Co-Creation: An Impactful Strategy that Leverages the Power of Consumers’ Creativity
