Methodology
For this study report, the Usbek & Rica team has analyzed, selected and prioritized the collected
information from a sociological, cultural and marketing perspectives. To do so, they have used a
variety of tools, both internal and external, combining:
•  Insights (analysis of research studies that have been published in the
media)
•  Experts (interviews, fairs, conferences, seminars, round tables)
•  Daily watch (specialized websites, blogs, social media, print and online
magazines)
•  In-situ observations (travel trips, shop visits, art exhibitions, films,
advertising, the street)
Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
This study report outlines the key current and
future trends in global beauty. Here, the term
“beauty” encompasses product innovation,
retail concepts, consumer behaviors and
cultural rituals. It focuses on female beauty,
and the men’s perspective will be analyzed in
a future dedicated report. Through a
combination of market, consumer insights
and product case studies, this analysis
depicts an industry that is incredibly fast-
paced, multifaceted and interconnected. 

In a world where anything is available
anywhere at anytime, beauty consumers have
become more demanding towards the
products and services they use everyday, and
so they expect even more from the brands
they purchase. The highly competitive
environment is forcing companies to adopt a
forward-thinking mentality and constantly
innovate to cater to ever-evolving consumer
needs and stay in the competition.

Pressured consumers demand time-saving
options more than ever before. With time now
an essential in the beauty equation, brands
and retailers are reacting by providing quick
fixes, express results, and fast, convenient
services. 

As self-image is now crucial, consumers and
brands alike have cultivated a new definition
of identity and individuality. Recent
movements are dismantling traditional beauty
ideals, with women celebrating diversity and
favoring “real” beauty over imposed
standards. 

What’s more, the latest technological and
digital advancements are taking center stage
and driving the future of the industry. Cutting-
edge product innovations are changing how
consumers use, interact with and think about
beauty.

PART 2 – CONSUMERS’ ATTITUDES
TOWARDS BEAUTY
1. Global consumers’ expectations
What do consumers expect from brands and
retailers when they purchase beauty products?
Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
Instant
gratification
Busy and impatient consumers pick health and beauty products that promise speedy
results. They want instant gratification with minimum fuss, and marketers are getting
innovative in the speed game. 
Essentials
Products that are functional, effective and deliver god results. Usually consumers are
ready to spend a premium on basic skin care products such as cleansers, toners and
moisturizers that are the foundation of their beauty look.
Access
Security
The downturn has not halted people' desire to maximize the quality of their consumption.
These savvy shoppers are seeking alternative ways to access indulgences that were
previously exclusive to the wealthy. “Affordable luxuries“ are perceived as a good way to
bring pleasure and joy and, in some cases, to gain appeal as consumers satisfy their need
for regular treats in their lives. 
Beauty consumers want to make sure they are using products of good quality. To this
end, they favor products that are clinically tested and approved.

2. Global consumer drivers
What are the motivations leading consumers to
purchase beauty products? 
Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
1
Values: attitude, balance, self-esteem 
Self-confidence
For self and others: consumers - and even more women -
engage in beauty and grooming both for themselves and
those around them. They do this as a reward, confidence
booster and best version of themselves, as well as to impart
an impression on and convey an image to others. According
to L'Oréal Beauty Track 2012/13, 36% of female consumers
think that beauty evokes self-confidence first of all.
Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
2
Values: identity, seduction, community
Image
Appearance is inescapable now more than ever. It surrounds
us subtly or overtly, changes how we are perceived as
individuals and as a culture, and alters how we feel in the first
person and as viewers and consumers. In an era of
omnipresent cameras, photo opps and social media, the
need to look good is strong. People everywhere embrace
instant and ongoing shots at perfection (e.g. lash extensions,
Botox and fillers, wigs). There is some social pressure coming
from the media that invites to improve one’s physical
appearance, be it through cosmetics, medicine or plastic
surgery. 
Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
3
Values: experimentation, innovation 
Discovery
Consumers want formulas that embody versatility, diversity
and individuality and are in favor of images that suggest
more flexible identities. Social networks and beauty
technologies (virtual makeovers, cropping, filtering
programs) have given women the permission to endlessly
experiment with and share new looks.
71% of women buy or try a new skincare product every
month, according to a poll of Allure readers (October 2014).

#WebOnline Beauty
#SocialMedia
Facebook, Instagram, Tinder, and other social
media platforms are today’s most widespread
reflections of self-image. Curating an online image is
the last step in the quest for beauty before an
individual’s aesthetic identity is projected to the world.
Indeed, some look better than others digitally - their
online assets are more attractive, their profile picture,
digital resume or Tinder profile are more
sophisticated. Yet this individualization remains under
the control of collective norms. Social media pressure
forces male and female consumers alike to more
closely examine their self-image and to present the
most perfect version of themselves (in comparison to
others) to the virtual world. The capture, post and
publicize process happens in an instant, and the
pressure to look camera-ready and flawless means
today’s beauty goals focus on image management
and personal PR. As more consumers start to realize
that everyone is in the business of image
manipulation, some are starting to return to more
natural and “genuine” identities. Social media is now
widely accepted as a marketing component in
business, especially amongst beauty brands, with
many beauty companies hiring full-time social media
coordinators. Moreover, beauty-related mobile phone
applications are increasingly popular. While many act
as an extension of e-commerce (allowing users to
purchase goods and services), others blur the
boundaries between beauty in real life and the digital
landscape.

For the launch of its new Daisy fragrance, global
fashion brand Marc Jacobs opened a dedicated
pop-up store in Soho, New York, called the
Daisy Marc Jacobs Tweet Shop. Consumers
were invited to pay for their purchases not with
money but tweets, Instagram photos and
Facebook posts with the hashtag
#MJDaisyChain, thus embracing "social
currency.” Visitors were awarded with Marc
Jacobs-branded gifts, from perfume and
necklaces to even purses (the best Instagram
photo of the day won a handbag). "Marc Jacobs
is really active on social media and Daisy is one
of the fragrance brands that triggers the highest
engagement among fans," Lori Singer, group VP
of global marketing for Coty Prestige (Marc
Jacobs's fragrance licensor) said. "We have seen
people creating drawings and stage mood shots
featuring the iconic bottle, so engagement of the
fans is already there.”

In January 2014, Dove (in the tenth year of its
“Real Beauty” campaign) debuted its “Selfie”
film campaign. The film chronicles a project in
which young girls are invited to use selfies to
challenge conventional beauty standards
portrayed in traditional and social media. The
girls’ selfies are displayed in a gallery, and, in a
play on online “commenting,” visitors to the
gallery leave notes on the photographs
highlighting the subjects’ natural beauty. The film
responds to Dove’s research that “55% of
women believe social media plays a larger role in
influencing the beauty conversation than
traditional media.” 
Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
Moving away from the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach
and always craving cutting-edge technologies, beauty
consumers want targeted ingredients aimed at
specific concerns in a product that feels personal.
Women no longer accept to pay for a product they
will not use because it doesn't quite match their
needs. Knowing this, personal care and makeup
brands are investing in technology to create products,
tools and processes that aim to provide results that
are more specifically tailored to consumers’ beauty
needs. “Smart” cosmetics are appealing to
consumers craving the perfect look. Products tailored
to individual beauty needs are convenient, deliver
flawless results and enable experimentation and
creativity. As a result, personalized beauty products
abound, whether tailored to skin tone, lifestyle or even
DNA. From a retail perspective, consumers want more
in the store - services, trials, retreats and personalized
consultations all draw traffic and help result in a buy. A
new breed of real-time “try-before-you-buy” concepts
based on data and augmented reality (AR) are
mushrooming and gaining considerable traction
amongst beauty shoppers. Mobile apps and virtual
mirrors are now able to deliver skin analysis and facial
visualization, allowing men and women to virtually test
a skincare or makeup product on their face before - or
without - purchasing it, a new phenomenon that
demonstrates how virtual retail concepts are filtering
into the mainstream.

GENEU markets itself as the world's first DNA
personalized anti-aging skincare collection. Their
U+ skincare system offers customers an in-
store DNA test at their high street location at
New Bond Street, London. Customers are invited
to swab the inside their mouths and answer a
brief questionnaire about their lifestyle choices. A
unique U+ skin profile is set up in 30 minutes,
detailing the individual’s exact predispositions to
collagen breakdown and antioxidant protection
levels, and how the skin reacts to damaging free
radicals. This information is then used to tailor
skincare and anti-aging products based on each
customer's individual needs. Professor Christofer
Toumazou, the brand’s founder, won the
European Inventor of the Year award for his U+
microchip technology, which is used in the
GENEU DNA profiling test.

analyze 100 high-quality images. Based on these
100 photos, the app picks up skin pixels from
eyes and lip and summarizes the user’s features
in easy-to-read graphics, allowing users to see
how their skin has changed over time. Beauty
consumers can now better understand their own
skin and find the best matching foundations to
purchase.

On-demand Beauty
#Immediacy
The spectacular success of car ridesharing service
Uber has triggered an incredible popularity of on-
demand services, giving birth to a whole new
economy. The growing field of on-demand beauty
apps and websites is putting at-home hair and
makeup services at consumers’ fingertips, fulfilling a
growing demand for immediate services. Consumers
don’t want to waste time in that professionals and
trainers come to them. What’s more, the Millennial
generation is driven by the search for more fun and a
desire to feel pampered. Why going to a beauty salon
when you can get a manicure in staying at home?
Although prices are higher than for traditional services,
they provide consumers with a sense of comfort and a
feeling of "luxury" while remaining relatively affordable
and accessible at the click of a button. "Having
somebody come to you is the way celebrities do it,"
said Victoria Eisner, co-founder of Glamsquad,
named for a term actresses often use for their beauty
teams. "Why can't the average woman have that as
well?" These new apps and websites offer blow-
drying, hairstyling and professional makeup
application, starting at $50 per service. Since its
launch in March 2014, PRIV has experienced a
revenue growth of about 63% each month. After they
added massage services to their offerings in May
2014, the appointments have spread fairly evenly:
hair 26%, makeup 20%, fitness 17%, and massage
13%. Most importantly, approximately half of the
clientele have made return appointments so far.

Non-typical Beauty
#Identity
The beauty and cosmetics sector used to be
criticized for its tendency to disregard “atypical”
models, and therefore for its failure to create brand
and shopping experiences that met everyone’s needs.
However, things are changing: the tone is shifting
from negative to positive as beauty brands find
reasons to celebrate difference instead of attacking it.
The current era is seeing the inclusion of older, plus-
sized, disabled or transgendered models on catwalks,
magazine covers and advertising campaigns - see
Diane Keaton, Inès de la Fressange for the matures,
Americans Crystal Renn and Ashley Graham, British
singer Adele, American comedy actress Melissa
McCarthy for the plus-sized etc. The momentum is
extending beyond brands and consumers as
modeling agencies, TV programs and reality shows.
are casting new types of figures. 
Age-wise, the coming decade will experience a
backlash towards the anti-aging mindset - and
market. The emerging Pro-Aging movement is about
enjoying, embracing, respecting, and enhancing the
things that come with age. Knowledge and
experience will be celebrated and respected. Instead
of the constant drive to appear younger, consumers
will accept their actual age, and seek beauty brands
that have an equally positive attitude. In terms of size,
64% of US women are considered overweight or
obese, and 40% of French and British women are a
size 16 or above, while retail consultancy Verdict
predicts the plus-size market is set to grow by 28.6%
between 2010 and 2015. Knowing this, brands have
no choice but to align with their customers’ realities
and make things “right” by, for instance, making plus-
size women more visible with the use of curvy
models.

PART 4 – THE FUTURE OF BEAUTY
Augmented beauty
Thanks to recent scientific advancements,
we are now on the cusp of a second wave
of body-modification. Nanotechnology may
give us contact lens cameras and robots
small enough to patrol our bloodstreams.
Genetic modification could tweak us to be
smarter and more eco-friendly, while neural
interfaces might allow us to plug our brains
directly into the web. “The line between
therapy and enhancement is a blurry one.
There seems to be no clear distinction
between existing accepted practices such
as cosmetic surgery, the prescription of anti-
depressants and ADHD medication and
emerging ones such as genetic modification,
nanotechnology and nootropics.” said Olivia
Solon from WIRED.
With recent spectacular advances in
science and technology, it is becoming
easier and more affordable to artificially
temper physical appearance in order to
reach fantasized beauty ideals. Today, a
growing number of people are opting for
artificially enhanced bodies through both soft
and hard procedures. Consumers are
essentially driven by self-expression,
convention breaking, or big thrills.
Increasingly acceptable and accepted, these
post-human transformations reveal a will to
transcend reality, to go beyond nature and
transform physical appearance or, even
augment human performance. Humans
have long augmented their bodies with
eyeglasses, clothing, and prosthetics.

Plastic surgery
There has been a dramatic increase in the popularity of
cosmetic surgery in countries around the world with its
promises of wrinkle-free skin and youthful looks. 

• South Koreans are leading the trend with 0.65 plastic
procedures per 1,000 people in 2012 (The Economist). 
• 313,327 breast augmentations and 137,233 breast
lifts were performed in the US in 2013 (American
Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery).
• More than 50,000 cosmetic surgery procedures were
performed in the UK in 2013 (British Association of
Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons).
• Dubai is racing ahead to dominate the Middle East’s
plastic surgery market with plans to attract half a million
medical tourists by 2020, generating revenues of US
$710 million (GlobalNews.ca). 
• Chinese consumers, traditionally holding conservative
views of physical beauty, are increasingly travelling to
South Korea for cheap deals on treatments while new
clinics have opened within mainland China. 
The Miss Korea 2013 contestants were
mocked by the media for looking so similar –
with suggestions that some had had plastic
surgery.

In a world where anything is available anywhere at anytime, beauty consumers have become more demanding towards the products and services they use everyday, and so they expect even more from the brands they purchase. The highly competitive environment is forcing companies to adopt a forward-thinking mentality and constantly innovate to cater to ever-evolving consumer needs and stay in the competition. Pressured consumers demand time-saving options more than ever before. With time now an essential in the beauty equation, brands and retailers are reacting by providing quick fixes, express results, and fast, convenient services. As self-image is now crucial, consumers and brands alike have cultivated a new definition of identity and individuality. Recent movements are dismantling traditional beauty ideals, with women celebrating diversity and favoring “real” beauty over imposed standards. What’s more, the latest technological and digital advancements are taking center stage and driving the future of the industry. Cutting- edge product innovations are changing how consumers use, interact with and think about beauty. Introduction Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014

  • 10. PART 2 – CONSUMERS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS BEAUTY
  • 11. 1. Global consumers’ expectations
  • 12. What do consumers expect from brands and retailers when they purchase beauty products? Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
  • 13. Instant gratification Busy and impatient consumers pick health and beauty products that promise speedy results. They want instant gratification with minimum fuss, and marketers are getting innovative in the speed game. Essentials Products that are functional, effective and deliver god results. Usually consumers are ready to spend a premium on basic skin care products such as cleansers, toners and moisturizers that are the foundation of their beauty look. Access Security The downturn has not halted people' desire to maximize the quality of their consumption. These savvy shoppers are seeking alternative ways to access indulgences that were previously exclusive to the wealthy. “Affordable luxuries“ are perceived as a good way to bring pleasure and joy and, in some cases, to gain appeal as consumers satisfy their need for regular treats in their lives. Beauty consumers want to make sure they are using products of good quality. To this end, they favor products that are clinically tested and approved. Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014

  • 16. What are the motivations leading consumers to purchase beauty products? Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
  • 17. 1 Values: attitude, balance, self-esteem Self-confidence For self and others: consumers - and even more women - engage in beauty and grooming both for themselves and those around them. They do this as a reward, confidence booster and best version of themselves, as well as to impart an impression on and convey an image to others. According to L'Oréal Beauty Track 2012/13, 36% of female consumers think that beauty evokes self-confidence first of all. Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
  • 18. 2 Values: identity, seduction, community Image Appearance is inescapable now more than ever. It surrounds us subtly or overtly, changes how we are perceived as individuals and as a culture, and alters how we feel in the first person and as viewers and consumers. In an era of omnipresent cameras, photo opps and social media, the need to look good is strong. People everywhere embrace instant and ongoing shots at perfection (e.g. lash extensions, Botox and fillers, wigs). There is some social pressure coming from the media that invites to improve one’s physical appearance, be it through cosmetics, medicine or plastic surgery. Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
  • 19. 3 Values: experimentation, innovation Discovery Consumers want formulas that embody versatility, diversity and individuality and are in favor of images that suggest more flexible identities. Social networks and beauty technologies (virtual makeovers, cropping, filtering programs) have given women the permission to endlessly experiment with and share new looks. 71% of women buy or try a new skincare product every month, according to a poll of Allure readers (October 2014).   Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014

  • 28. #WebOnline Beauty #SocialMedia Facebook, Instagram, Tinder, and other social media platforms are today’s most widespread reflections of self-image. Curating an online image is the last step in the quest for beauty before an individual’s aesthetic identity is projected to the world. Indeed, some look better than others digitally - their online assets are more attractive, their profile picture, digital resume or Tinder profile are more sophisticated. Yet this individualization remains under the control of collective norms. Social media pressure forces male and female consumers alike to more closely examine their self-image and to present the most perfect version of themselves (in comparison to others) to the virtual world. The capture, post and publicize process happens in an instant, and the pressure to look camera-ready and flawless means today’s beauty goals focus on image management and personal PR. As more consumers start to realize that everyone is in the business of image manipulation, some are starting to return to more natural and “genuine” identities. Social media is now widely accepted as a marketing component in business, especially amongst beauty brands, with many beauty companies hiring full-time social media coordinators. Moreover, beauty-related mobile phone applications are increasingly popular. While many act as an extension of e-commerce (allowing users to purchase goods and services), others blur the boundaries between beauty in real life and the digital landscape. Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
  • 29. For the launch of its new Daisy fragrance, global fashion brand Marc Jacobs opened a dedicated pop-up store in Soho, New York, called the Daisy Marc Jacobs Tweet Shop. Consumers were invited to pay for their purchases not with money but tweets, Instagram photos and Facebook posts with the hashtag #MJDaisyChain, thus embracing "social currency.” Visitors were awarded with Marc Jacobs-branded gifts, from perfume and necklaces to even purses (the best Instagram photo of the day won a handbag). "Marc Jacobs is really active on social media and Daisy is one of the fragrance brands that triggers the highest engagement among fans," Lori Singer, group VP of global marketing for Coty Prestige (Marc Jacobs's fragrance licensor) said. "We have seen people creating drawings and stage mood shots featuring the iconic bottle, so engagement of the fans is already there.” IMAGE   Online Beauty #SocialMedia United States February 2014 Credit: Mashable.com Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
  • 30. IMAGE   Online Beauty #SocialMedia United States March 2014 Sephora Beauty Board is a new visual social shopping platform that uses the same codes of Instagram and Pinterest. Customers can upload pictures of their own makeup looks—with the option to shop the look, as well as to "like" it or leave comments. This is a new way to shop for makeup looks, get hair inspirations, view beauty photos, and learn how to create new looks from top Sephora beauty products. In a way, the beauty brand offers online shoppers the opportunity to become beauty bloggers themselves. Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
  • 31. IMAGE   Online Beauty #SocialMedia United Kingdom January 2014 In January 2014, Dove (in the tenth year of its “Real Beauty” campaign) debuted its “Selfie” film campaign. The film chronicles a project in which young girls are invited to use selfies to challenge conventional beauty standards portrayed in traditional and social media. The girls’ selfies are displayed in a gallery, and, in a play on online “commenting,” visitors to the gallery leave notes on the photographs highlighting the subjects’ natural beauty. The film responds to Dove’s research that “55% of women believe social media plays a larger role in influencing the beauty conversation than traditional media.” Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
  • 32. Moving away from the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach and always craving cutting-edge technologies, beauty consumers want targeted ingredients aimed at specific concerns in a product that feels personal. Women no longer accept to pay for a product they will not use because it doesn't quite match their needs. Knowing this, personal care and makeup brands are investing in technology to create products, tools and processes that aim to provide results that are more specifically tailored to consumers’ beauty needs. “Smart” cosmetics are appealing to consumers craving the perfect look. Products tailored to individual beauty needs are convenient, deliver flawless results and enable experimentation and creativity. As a result, personalized beauty products abound, whether tailored to skin tone, lifestyle or even DNA. From a retail perspective, consumers want more in the store - services, trials, retreats and personalized consultations all draw traffic and help result in a buy. A new breed of real-time “try-before-you-buy” concepts based on data and augmented reality (AR) are mushrooming and gaining considerable traction amongst beauty shoppers. Mobile apps and virtual mirrors are now able to deliver skin analysis and facial visualization, allowing men and women to virtually test a skincare or makeup product on their face before - or without - purchasing it, a new phenomenon that demonstrates how virtual retail concepts are filtering into the mainstream.

  • 33. United States August 2014 US brand bareMinerals is inviting female consumers to experience a new way to shop with the introduction of the brand’s first-ever Shade Shop.

  • 34. United Kingdom September 2014 GENEU markets itself as the world's first DNA personalized anti-aging skincare collection. Their U+ skincare system offers customers an in- store DNA test at their high street location at New Bond Street, London. Customers are invited to swab the inside their mouths and answer a brief questionnaire about their lifestyle choices. A unique U+ skin profile is set up in 30 minutes, detailing the individual’s exact predispositions to collagen breakdown and antioxidant protection levels, and how the skin reacts to damaging free radicals. This information is then used to tailor skincare and anti-aging products based on each customer's individual needs. Professor Christofer Toumazou, the brand’s founder, won the European Inventor of the Year award for his U+ microchip technology, which is used in the GENEU DNA profiling test.

  • 35. France May 2014 L’Oréal announced last May the launch of their first connected beauty digital innovation. Makeup Genius enables consumers to test makeup products on a virtual mirror via their mobile phone or tablet. Consumers can now test a new makeup look or scan a product’s barcode in-store and instantly experience a futuristic “before & after” service. “By combining our knowledge of consumers and the science of colours with technologies for monitoring facial expressions, we have been able to calculate the best possible algorithm capable of producing an extremely realistic colour-rendering in real time using just an iPhone camera,” said Guive Balooch, Director of the Connected Beauty Incubator, L’Oréal Research & Innovation. This innovation will enable L’Oréal Paris to offer its customers an unprecedented beauty “e-routine.” Made-to-measure Beauty #Data Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
  • 36. Beautiful Me is a new mobile app created by ModiFace, which applies patented big data technology and machine learning algorithms to conduct the most accurate skin analysis of users’ photos. Not only does the app instantly detects skin and facial features, such as skin tone and undertones, but it also measures changes in facial features, makeup, aging and hair. Beautiful Me can auto-download up to 500 of a user’s Facebook photos and, out of these, select and analyze 100 high-quality images. Based on these 100 photos, the app picks up skin pixels from eyes and lip and summarizes the user’s features in easy-to-read graphics, allowing users to see how their skin has changed over time.

  • 37. On-demand Beauty #Immediacy The spectacular success of car ridesharing service Uber has triggered an incredible popularity of on- demand services, giving birth to a whole new economy. The growing field of on-demand beauty apps and websites is putting at-home hair and makeup services at consumers’ fingertips, fulfilling a growing demand for immediate services. Consumers don’t want to waste time in that professionals and trainers come to them. What’s more, the Millennial generation is driven by the search for more fun and a desire to feel pampered. Why going to a beauty salon when you can get a manicure in staying at home? Although prices are higher than for traditional services, they provide consumers with a sense of comfort and a feeling of "luxury" while remaining relatively affordable and accessible at the click of a button. "Having somebody come to you is the way celebrities do it," said Victoria Eisner, co-founder of Glamsquad, named for a term actresses often use for their beauty teams. "Why can't the average woman have that as well?" These new apps and websites offer blow- drying, hairstyling and professional makeup application, starting at $50 per service. Since its launch in March 2014, PRIV has experienced a revenue growth of about 63% each month. After they added massage services to their offerings in May 2014, the appointments have spread fairly evenly: hair 26%, makeup 20%, fitness 17%, and massage 13%. Most importantly, approximately half of the clientele have made return appointments so far. Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014

  • 42. Non-typical Beauty #Identity The beauty and cosmetics sector used to be criticized for its tendency to disregard “atypical” models, and therefore for its failure to create brand and shopping experiences that met everyone’s needs. However, things are changing: the tone is shifting from negative to positive as beauty brands find reasons to celebrate difference instead of attacking it. The current era is seeing the inclusion of older, plus- sized, disabled or transgendered models on catwalks, magazine covers and advertising campaigns - see Diane Keaton, Inès de la Fressange for the matures, Americans Crystal Renn and Ashley Graham, British singer Adele, American comedy actress Melissa McCarthy for the plus-sized etc. The momentum is extending beyond brands and consumers as modeling agencies, TV programs and reality shows. are casting new types of figures. Age-wise, the coming decade will experience a backlash towards the anti-aging mindset - and market. The emerging Pro-Aging movement is about enjoying, embracing, respecting, and enhancing the things that come with age. Knowledge and experience will be celebrated and respected. Instead of the constant drive to appear younger, consumers will accept their actual age, and seek beauty brands that have an equally positive attitude. In terms of size, 64% of US women are considered overweight or obese, and 40% of French and British women are a size 16 or above, while retail consultancy Verdict predicts the plus-size market is set to grow by 28.6% between 2010 and 2015. Knowing this, brands have no choice but to align with their customers’ realities and make things “right” by, for instance, making plus- size women more visible with the use of curvy models.

  • 49. Augmented beauty Thanks to recent scientific advancements, we are now on the cusp of a second wave of body-modification. Nanotechnology may give us contact lens cameras and robots small enough to patrol our bloodstreams. Genetic modification could tweak us to be smarter and more eco-friendly, while neural interfaces might allow us to plug our brains directly into the web. “The line between therapy and enhancement is a blurry one. There seems to be no clear distinction between existing accepted practices such as cosmetic surgery, the prescription of anti- depressants and ADHD medication and emerging ones such as genetic modification, nanotechnology and nootropics.” said Olivia Solon from WIRED. With recent spectacular advances in science and technology, it is becoming easier and more affordable to artificially temper physical appearance in order to reach fantasized beauty ideals. Today, a growing number of people are opting for artificially enhanced bodies through both soft and hard procedures. Consumers are essentially driven by self-expression, convention breaking, or big thrills. Increasingly acceptable and accepted, these post-human transformations reveal a will to transcend reality, to go beyond nature and transform physical appearance or, even augment human performance. Humans have long augmented their bodies with eyeglasses, clothing, and prosthetics. Beauty Today & Tomorrow | November 2014
