Indie makeup brands can grow a cult following by emphasizing their unique value proposition. This involves identifying what sets them apart from competitors and using it as a selling point to attract customers. For instance, if a brand uses only natural and organic ingredients, it should feature this in its marketing materials and product descriptions.

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.
