    Luxury Fashion Houses: Can Their Beauty Brands Stay Relevant?

    It’s the start of Fashion Month—the pinnacle of luxury, where fashion houses invest millions into runway shows to reinforce their brand identity. But how does this impact their beauty divisions? This episode explores the role of beauty within luxury fashion houses. Why do these brands expand into beauty? How does the business model differ from fashion, and how do they compete in an increasingly saturated beauty market?

    Class, Culture, and Contouring: The UK’s Distinct Beauty Trends

    Thanks to social media, beauty trends often go global—but not in the UK. While interest in makeup in Canada, Australia, and the US has slowed down since the pandemic, the "baddie makeup" continues to trend in the UK. Why does this trend stand strong, and what does it reveal about Britain’s beauty scene? In this episode of The Barefaced Podcast, we dive into the cultural, economic, and social factors that set the UK apart, from local beauty brands taking over to the rise of TikTok Shop.

    The British Beauty Battle: Why Are There So Many Retailers?

    Beauty shopping in the UK is anything but intuitive. You can find luxury brands at Boots, a pharmacy, or Harrods, a luxury department store, or shop them online at Look Fantastic, an e-commerce retailer. But why is the market so fragmented? Over the last five years, online beauty retail boomed but has faced rising customer acquisition costs. Companies like Walgreens Boots Alliance (owner of Boots) have struggled, while luxury department stores have doubled down on beauty. To top it off, after a 17-year hiatus, Sephora re-entered the market by acquiring Feelunique to expand their physical presence. In this episode, we break down these complexities and offer insights on how to navigate this competitive and ever-evolving beauty retail market. This episode is supported by a series of graphs and visual aids to help narrate this complex story. You can access those resources at barefaced.substack.com.

    The Glossier Effect: The Blueprint for Building a Cult Beauty Brand

    The rise of Glossier wasn’t just a success story; it became the blueprint for modern beauty branding. While much of the conversation surrounding Glossier today focuses on the brand’s current state, this episode dives into the marketing firsts that made Glossier a cultural phenomenon and shaped the beauty industry as we know it. From pioneering the shelfie, founder-driven content, and user-generated campaigns to transforming social media engagement and popularising beauty pop-ups, Glossier created a playbook that countless brands—Merit, Saie, Kosas, Tower 28, Summer Fridays, Rhode, and more—have drawn from. In today's episode, we unpack how Glossier redefined what it means to be a beauty brand, evolving it into something that feels more like a social club than a business, and explore the enduring impact of The Glossier Effect.

    How Advertising Laws Changed the Beauty Industry

    In the past decade, shifts in advertising laws have continuously reshaped the beauty business. What did the industry look like before #ad was enforced?

In 2024, authorities are finally catching up with the impact of influencers—great news for consumers, but a challenge for marketers. In this episode, we explore how brands are navigating today’s regulations, the missteps to avoid, and how to build consumer trust while maximizing reach.

    The Black Beauty Problem

    Welcome to episode one of The Barefaced Podcast! The podcast revealing the beauty industry's untold stories. It only made sense for episode one to be the most untold story of them all, The Black Beauty Problem. While this episode was filmed a few weeks ago, it’s unsurprising that yet another racial inclusivity 'scandal' has emerged this week with the launch of YSL’s 'Make Me Blush' liquid blushes. This recurring cycle, where black women are racially discriminated against by a new product launch before the issue is addressed in pop culture, needs to change. This episode delves into the beauty industry's consistent neglect of black consumers' needs. We first outline the problem by quantifying the limited product options, underrepresentation, and disproportionate economic opportunities, before figuring out how we got here and what is needed next.
