Future of Beauty Retail 3.0
Exploring how brands can apply their understanding of the latest beauty trends at physical retail

1.0 Foreword
HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW
Adding to the velocity at which the beauty industry manoeuvres is the concurrence of lively ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ beauty trends. These are trends that are further narrated, amplified, and shaped by the seemingly infinite number of beauty influencers fiercely competing for engagement via quality online content to catch the attention of their best-loved brands. Not to mention, COVID.
