Launch Rationale
Liquid eyeshadows are becoming increasingly popular because of their ease
of use and convenience
Younger consumers are gravitating towards grab-and-go products
The pandemic has caused a shift towards eye makeup use, thus people are
buying more eye makeup products
Diors eyeshadow offering is very limited but their mascaras are popular so
introducing a complimentary product would be good for the brand.
Product Concept
This addition to the Dior backstage collection offers long-
lasting luxurious and glamorous liquid eyeshadow that is
easy to apply and you can build for intensity. Product
versatility is key and can even be used to add some shimmer
or color to the cheek. Perfect to help revitalize aging skin,
hydrate dry skin and won't smudge on oily skin and is made

Macro Trends
Sustainability is becoming increasingly popluar
among customers of cosmetics
Customers are also looking for beauty products that
are 'clean' or free of toxic ingredients
Because of the pandemic, mask wearing has become
the norm so we see people investing in quality eye
makeup over other categories since only they eyes
show through masks
Industry Trends
There is a rise in the use of liquid eyeshadows and a
rise in the product launches
Minimal makeup products and routines are
popular since people are trying to cut down on
products
There is also an increase in the use of multipurpose
products which aligns with a minimal routine
Since more people are trying new products, there
is an added emphasis on the ease of products
