Introduction

Behavioral Understanding

When Sephora starts to host birthday parties,we knew that the game had changed. 

Girls as young as 13 now had sophisticated makeup routines and brand preferences - even teaching their mothers about their favorite ‘dupes’.

Makeup brushes lay scattered across a table by the window.

Results

behavioral understanding

We worked with e.l.f. Beauty to help understand how those preferences were developed and what their key influences were. We also looked into how young women were introduced to skin care routines and products, identifying key moments within the stages of their beauty journey.
