The idea
Cosmetics brand in new form factors. Explicit brand-building opportunity in the Gen Z chapter; the slide does not specify a business model or validate demand.
Why this is interesting
- New cosmetic formats matter when they make application, portability, shade discovery or hygiene materially better, rather than merely changing packaging.
- The source identifies an opportunity area rather than a validated customer problem. A useful first step is to choose one actor, workflow and measurable failure.
Possible starting points
Use-case format
Redesign one product around a concrete context such as travel, rapid touch-ups or shared living.
Modular colour system
Let customers test, combine or refill shades without buying a full new product each time.
Questions to answer
- Which behaviour becomes easier than with the standard format?
- How will stability, hygiene and compliant claims be verified?
