Beauty Talks & Inspiration Bar by Cosmetic Inspiration & Creation
MakeUp in LosAngeles is thrilled to announce the return of its partnership with the international trend forecasting and consultancy agency, Cosmetics Inspiration & Creation, which will present four Beauty Talks during the event.
Hosted by the agency’s Chief Inspiration Officer Leila Rochet, each talk will feature a specially invited panel of industry insiders who will share their vision and experiences, while deciphering
the key themes for 2024 and beyond. And with innovation at the forefront of everyone’s minds, attendees are also invited to join the Cosmetics IC team at the Inspiration Bar, where they will be showcasing the latest product innovations to hit the worldwide beauty market.
The theme of the agency’s 2024 forecasting report is The Age of Thrill: Desiring the extra-ordinary.
“In an era marked by uncertainties and polycrisis, there is a growing demand for emotionally compelling and exhilarating physical experiences, especially with our ever-evolving lifestyles. Consumers are now invigorated by groundbreaking innovations that offer extra-ordinary sensations while elevating performance to unprecedented levels. This trend of seeking thrills is set to influence our perception of beauty, giving rise to a more individual mindset and establishing elevated expectations, propelling beauty into an Elysian* trajectory.” explains Leila Rochet, Chief Inspiration Officer of Cosmetics Inspiration & Creation.
*”Elysian” refers to something beautiful, blissful, or divine. It often carries a connotation of an utopian or heavenly state. In Greek mythology, Elysium (or the Elysian Fields) was a paradise for the virtuous and heroic in the afterlife. So, using “Elysian trajectory” suggests a path or direction toward a beautiful, ideal, or heavenly state
For 2024 and beyond, the following four trends were deciphered by the agency and represent the need to meet heightened expectations around performance, creativity and sustainability. Each theme will provide direction and inspiration on how brands can respond to increasingly nuanced consumer behaviors.
#1 Higher Futures – The transformative impact of science-centric approaches on the beauty industry
#2 Transient Utopia – Revisiting the codes of lifestyle
#3 Extra-Vagance – Bringing the extra-ordinary in the everyday
#4 Symbiotic Progress – Adapting for a better future
