Why an Inclusive Shade Range is Vital for Beauty Brands

Inclusivity is a critical aspect of the beauty industry, and it starts with having a diverse range of shades for all skin tones. Offering a diverse shade range shows that your beauty brand values inclusivity and diversity and that you want to ensure that all customers, regardless of their skin tone, can find the perfect shade match for their skin. Back in 2018, the beauty brand Beauty Blender decided to launch the first foundation line with 32 different skin tones. Even with so many shades, unfortunately , the company still offered a very limited shade range for darker skin tones, which led to backlash. Many beauty brands learned from this mistake and how to best avoid it, and some took the opportunity to launch their own lines in response. That’s how Rihanna’s brand, Fenty Beauty started providing its customers with a vast array of tones and shades and achieved success as well as a loyal consumer base.

Inclusive brands and companies that prioritize offering a range of shades that cater to a wide range of skin tones always have their values of inclusivity and diversity on display. Offering an inclusive foundation shade range shows everyone your dedication to serving the vast needs of your customers. This, in turn, helps to establish a positive brand image, builds consumer trust and improves the brand image and reputation of the company. Beauty brands that show they value inclusivity and diversity can differentiate themselves from competitors who say these are among their values, but don’t prove it with products, and as a result attract new customers and increase brand recognition.

Follow Trends or Stay True to Your Brand?

The fashion industry has been growing at a faster pace than ever before, as new fashion trends keep showing up on a weekly basis it seems. This growth isn’t showing any signs of slowing down or stopping. One of the biggest reasons behind the growth is the increase in digitization all over the world. That situation was exacerbated by the global pandemic. These days, consumers don’t need to go inside their favorite stores to buy an item of clothing. They can go online, make purchases, and get their clothing items delivered to their doorstep. This shift was the reason why both big and small fashion brands have started shifting toward eCommerce. There are some trends that fashion brands should stay away from. That’s why it’s important to know the difference between a positive and a negative industry trend.

More and more consumers these days are interested in sustainability, ethics, and politics. Fashion brands will have to become aware and define the ideals that they stand for and support in a more direct way than they have in the past. These are important factors that contribute to the purchasing decisions of many customers, especially younger customers. Consumers are looking to do business with companies that have similar values to their own. The shift means that fashion brands will start showing that they’re contributing to the environment through sustainability practices. It also means fashion brands are going to become a lot more transparent about their work ethics. This is another important factor for consumers, and they’ll have to start to integrate politics. Fashion brands can integrate the politics that they support in different ways. They can include them in their social media content, and website. Some can even create specific clothing lines that refer to specific societal or political issues. In the meantime, they will need to invest in marketing and PR to ensure that the brand is getting the right messages across to its audiences.
