KEY TAKE AWAYS
• The cosmetics/beauty category has been impacted by the
pandemic, but the demand for these products is still there.
• An online presence is imperative as consumers have shifted some
purchases to online and seek product information and advice via
online sources.
• This category is heavily ‘experiential’ and as stores being to re-
open, most consumers remain optimistic that they will eventually
feel comfortable trying cosmetics/beauty products in-store again.
• The importance of diversity and inclusion in this category is
evidenced by the strong following of male beauty influencers and
the demand for skin tone diversity on product portfolios.
