Nobody will remember: - How many followers you had last year - The time you skipped your skincare routine - How many emails you received from people wishing their emails find you well 🙄 People will remember: - When you overdid the very demure, very cutesy trend 🙈 - The time your contour looked more like a geography lesson than a makeup technique - How you turned heads with the brand you built with Blanka 💅

🌟 Cosmetics & Skincare Industry Forecast: Summer 2024 Edition 🌟 As summer heats up, so does the cosmetics and skincare industry! 🔥 Here’s what to expect for Summer 2024: 🎀 Soft Beauty: Hailey Bieber's rhode skin launched pocket blushes, which sold out quickly in classic Hailey fashion! These blushes provide a satiny, diffused flush for cheeks and lips, fitting the soft beauty trend focused on natural, fresh-faced looks. This minimalist approach enhances features with lightweight foundations and subtle highlighters, celebrating individual beauty with simplicity and elegance. 🧴 Personalized Skincare: Advancements in AI and skin analysis technology are making personalized skincare and haircare more accessible. Curology's new Hair FormulaRx offers customized solutions for hair loss and growth. This trend is expected to grow, with more brands offering tailored products for individual needs. 🧴 Body Care Takes Center Stage: SEPHORA is piloting a new body care merchandising strategy in 60 stores this summer. As consumers are increasing their investments in luxurious body scrubs, nourishing oils, and hydrating lotions for smooth, radiant skin, brands like Kate McLeod, OUI the People, and @54 Thrones are leading the way with innovative body care products. The future is bright for the cosmetics and skincare industry this summer! Which trend excites you the most?
