I always found it fascinating that products and trends are planned so early in advance and then that's what will be popular. What if something goes wrong and everyone HATES matte lipstick in 2015 and nobody buys it? (Hypothetically of course.)

oh dear.. this is where I have to put on my cap and quote PT Barnum: Build it and they will come.

the fashion/beauty industry is always ploting and planning what will be very delicately inserted into our collective minds -- by using movies, tv, rock personalites, magazines, etc... it's all very subtle and on a subliminal level at first. Things are pushed along by the internet now.

nobody will NOT like mattes if they see it on others.. frankly, women are very easy to manipulate. They like what the other gal is wearing and wear it to show off to the other gal,.. not to the men in their lives. this is a fact.

yes, some mistakes in judgement are made, but that's why there's all sorts of indices to measure and all sorts of numbers to sift thru before anything goes into production. There are 1000s of products in prototype.. and out of those, maybe 50 are made for actual collections. But the decisions to make them are usually 18 months before, usually after the fashion shows.

hth.

Never mind.... lollll. Looks like there won't be any profit losses in 2015!

oh there might be.. depends on the actual costs of production and how much they can keep up charging for products.

Cool stuff HG. Very true about women and the fact that they dress and groom to impress other women rather than men. The best marketing is the one that turns the consumer into the salesperson. Enter Specktra lol.

I fix myself up for my husband, too. He loves me with or without makeup, of course, but I feel like I have more confidence with the makeup, and I think that's a turn on for him.

This stuff is planned so systematically. Look at how little by little, MAC is slipping frosts in here and there in savvy little ways with products the core customers will go for, like Viva Glam, crazy colors like Playland, or fancy summer special packaging + repromote, like Pet Me Please. By the time a year or two of noticeable little frosts snuck into various collections, the general consumer will be acclimatized to accept frosts in a more widespread way. Then splash out on a full collection of all frost fabulosity when everyone's broken in! Think about All About Orange - two years before, most people would have thought orange lipsticks were totally gross!

HUBBA HUBBA!

Eeek I bought Pet Me, Please lol! I've been assimilated!

hey, it's a great lipstick for any self-respecting Beauty Borg!

 

[Rainbunny]

Lavender Whip (cremesheen) no liner on mauve toned lips, NC44. Not sure I'm feeling this colour so much.

I think you look very pretty in it, but I bet you would like it on you better if you were wearing it with lighter-colored summer colours, like pink or lilac. You may not like the contrast when you are wearing a dark colour near your face.

 

[Uptownbackinit]

Forget your lips (although ok, I agree, slightly mauvy pink, very similar to mine just a touch more pigmented I'd say) but your eyes are stunning, wow!
