The Business of Beauty Haul of Fame Live from New — The Business of Beauty Haul of Fame: Live from New York, It’s Drugstore Mascara!

Welcome again to Haul of Fame, your must-read magnificence roundup for brand spanking new merchandise, new concepts and a possible J.Lo Oscar contender…?

Included in right now’s problem: Beachwaver, ColourPop, Dior, Dolly Parton, Estée Lauder, Kylie Cosmetics, The Lip Bar, Milani, Benefit, Noyz, Ole Henriksen, Olive & June, Origins, Phlur, Saltair, Salt & Stone, SeneGence, Touchland, Wild Coast Perfumery, and extra.

However first…

At a current Adweek panel in Manhattan, Maybelline SVP Jessie Feinstein stared down a crowd of her friends and stated one thing wild: “We’re willing to be the butt of everyone’s jokes.”

That’s not a typical take for magnificence manufacturers, who need to make the case that aesthetic dominance is vital to feminine success. Certain, buzzy labels have wit — have a look at OPI’s quirky polish names and Hailey Bieber’s dairy-doused advert marketing campaign for milk serum. However getting laughed at to promote merchandise? That’s tough.

It might additionally show main for Maybelline, which is the one magnificence sponsor for Saturday Evening Live’s fiftieth anniversary season. In response to Sarah Shaker, Maybelline’s assistant vp and head of model engagement, they’re leaning into the “humour and nostalgia” that SNL gives to assist drive gross sales, together with a perception that the present’s “cultural relevance” will hold them half of on-line and IRL conversations. To this point, the deal — which sources acquainted with the contract inform me is north of $5 million — has yielded a joyfully bonkers industrial with SNL alum Vanessa Bayer, 42. To be sincere, I don’t keep in mind the mascara she was sporting, however I do keep in mind she had cake in her hair.

Then on Oct. 12, there was a sketch with Ariana Grande, Chloe Fineman, and SNL legend Dana Carvey (!). Every pretended to be comic Jennifer Coolidge; every utilized globs of “Maybelline’s New SuperStay Longwear Liquid Lip Color,” mentioning — and playfully botching — the product identify 10 occasions in lower than 4 minutes. The video has 2.5 million views on YouTube and 20 million on TikTok. Google searches for the product spiked after the skit aired. Folks near the venture inform me the skit was “added value” for the model — they didn’t understand it was coming, and didn’t have any say within the content material.

The template for this kind of goofy glam appears to have come from the actual Jennifer Coolidge and her partnership with E.l.f. Cosmetics. Throughout a Tremendous Bowl advert for the model, Coolidge used its Energy Grip Primer to stay a cellphone to her face. The spot was crafted with assist from “White Lotus” creator Mike White, and had ka-pow outcomes: Net site visitors to the model website elevated tenfold immediately after the TV industrial, and its Instagram added 110,000 followers.

Why is it working? “Humour is a powerful connector because it breaks down barriers, invites authenticity, and makes beauty feel more accessible,” stated Patrick O’Keefe, E.l.f.’s chief built-in advertising and marketing officer. O’Keefe famous that humour additionally “disarms” the viewer, making them extra open to attempting — or shopping for — one thing they wouldn’t usually contemplate. That’s very true for manufacturers like E.l.f. and Maybelline, that are in style, however not essentially cool — the Chainsmokers of cosmetics manufacturers.

Each skits additionally make use of very well-known, very fairly individuals, which helps rather a lot when promoting cosmetics. Fineman, 36, was interviewed by Into the Gloss this yr, and has an algorithm lock for her super-cute face and dead-on impressions; she’s already starred in a single Maybelline industrial, a 2023 spoof on crying together with your make-up on. Grande, 31, is one of the most important pop stars of our age; she runs her personal cosmetics model, R.e.m. Beauty, a reported moneymaker. In the meantime Coolidge, 63, is a comedy legend and a vogue template for a lot of boomer ladies. After all all three can promote $11 lipstick. They also can promote total TV franchises. However smaller manufacturers with out blockbuster budgets can get in on this tactic, in the event that they work out the right way to place their content material so it’s a narrative, and never only a promote.

As Shaker guarantees “upcoming spots” from Maybelline’s SNL partnership all through the season, it’s value noting that this type of sketch-based magnificence content material is sharp as hell, strategically, as a result of it permeates TV and TikTok, permitting it to seize older and youthful demographics without delay. We will’t actually escape them with out dropping our gadgets into the ocean. (The dream!) Till then, we would as properly be in on the joke.
