The Zoom beauty boom has sent ecommerce sales skyrocketing: Ulta recently reported that their ecommerce sales were up more than 200% for the quarter ending August 1st. However, that surge has neither fully made up for in-store losses nor impacted segments equally. Consumers’ strong interest in skincare has persisted, haircare is on the rise, and color cosmetics are—just as they were pre-pandemic—declining. That said, makeup will recover and its current role in the lives of beauty consumers holds important lessons for brands. Women are increasingly on camera—and also looking for an extra dose of fun in their lives—the color cosmetics brands that are strong digitally and communicate appropriately will outlast and then thrive.
