What you need to know

Luxury beauty brands find acceptance among most women, with broad use across demographic lines. While luxury often roots itself in iconic brand identities, the luxury beauty consumer continues to evolve. This necessitates that makers and marketers align with more modern perceptions of luxury, such as clean ingredients, ethical sourcing and manufacturing practices, and opportunities for personalization/customization.
