Identifying and Predicting Beauty Trends
Clean girl aesthetic. Grunge. Cloud skin. Matte lips. Maximalist. Then back again.
If there’s one certainty in the beauty industry it’s this: things change. Rapidly. TikTok cult “classics” expire faster than avocados. Things blow up, sell out, then become irrelevant… But is there an underlying system to help you keep up?
Join a brand strategy director and an advertising creative discuss how to use varying sources to identify and market to exploding beauty trends in ways that actually stick around.
In this session, we’ll walk through tactical ways of identifying trends, validating potential trend patterns, and beauty companies who market to trends effectively. We’ll also give you our predictions for the trends we’re watching— and already preparing for.
