Á: Customers today are inspired by not just Bollywood but in fact a lot more by so many digital platforms, influencers, and social media. Fashion and beauty trends have been influenced by films for the longest time. Even today, this is largely evident in customers across markets including tier-2 and tier-3 cities. In early 2020, we collaborated with Filmfare as the title sponsor of the 65th edition of Filmfare Awards to bring alive the connection between entertainment, fashion, and beauty. Besides, we also created a storefront to leverage the make-up looks of the characters from the 'Bandish Bandits' web series on Prime Video.

Revival of Makeup: With eyes becoming the new lips, within make-up, the eye category has seen maximum acceleration. Brands have quickly aligned themselves to innovate in the lips category by moving from gloss and shine lipsticks to promoting matte (transfer-proof and smudge-proof) lipsticks, tinted lip balms and tint this season, only to stay in line with the new norms-- they can be worn with face masks.
See the Rainbow: There is an emergence of joyful colours, be it on the lips, eyes, or the cheek. While minimalism as a trend continues, products will be used to add a dash of colour on the eyes (yellow, blue, pink etc.)
Natural Effortless Glam: A naturally glamorous and glowing face has made a comeback. Customers are now doubling down on highlighters and bronzers that offer a glowing face coupled with dramatic lashes and blushed cheeks.
Clean Beauty: Today, customers are mindful about product ingredients and formulations. With people spending more time and research on their beauty routines, there has been a distinct rise in the adoption of natural, organic, and plant-based skincare and haircare as well as natural makeup products.
Salon at Home: With customers facing limitations in visiting salons, the focus on professional skincare and haircare products has multiplied. We are seeing a surge in demand for professional brands on Amazon Beauty which were only popular with salons earlier.
Q: How has Amazon Beauty integrated technology on its platform, how has the customers approach been towards using it?
A: Amazon Beauty has rolled out a feature called 'Virtual Try On (VTO)', which allows customers to try on colour cosmetics virtually. Customers can either use a photograph stored in their phones or one of pre-loaded model faces or even live camera (android only at present) to use this feature. The visual nature of this feature allows the user to test colour cosmetics and see how it will look on their skin virtually, bridging the gap between the offline and online buying experience and making shopping effortless on Amazon Beauty. Lakhs of customers have tried VTO and we see a higher purchase intent from customers who interact with it.
Q: Skincare being the new make-up, what are the highest selling products currently?
A: During the pandemic, we have observed the epicentre of beauty shift from make-up to skincare. With the limited choice of stepping out and the consequent rise of work from home culture, people began to pay attention to their cleansing, toning, and moisturising (CTM) regimen more religiously, leading to a double-digit spike on our platform especially within product range of night creams, sunscreen, face oils and face serums. Customer's consumption habits slowly drifted towards products that offer several benefits and uses. They also opted for double duty make-up products like lip tint, which can be used both on lips and cheeks as blush or tinted sunscreens and moisturises for both SPF protection and light coverage. Beauty tools and accessories too saw a double-digit spike as the demand for products such as makeup tools, facial massager, gua sha stone and jade roller surged.
