Cosmetics brand in new form factors

Source

The idea

Cosmetics brand in new form factors. Explicit brand-building opportunity in the Gen Z chapter; the slide does not specify a business model or validate demand.

Why this is interesting

  • New cosmetic formats matter when they make application, portability, shade discovery or hygiene materially better, rather than merely changing packaging.
  • The source identifies an opportunity area rather than a validated customer problem. A useful first step is to choose one actor, workflow and measurable failure.

Possible starting points

01

Use-case format

Redesign one product around a concrete context such as travel, rapid touch-ups or shared living.

02

Modular colour system

Let customers test, combine or refill shades without buying a full new product each time.

Questions to answer

  1. Which behaviour becomes easier than with the standard format?
  2. How will stability, hygiene and compliant claims be verified?
