Transcript

I were to create a viral beauty brand today, this is how I'd do it. I'd call it Skinkles, skin care sprinkles that look and feel like actual dessert sprinkles better melt into active skin care when mixed into moisturizer. The biggest beauty brands today aren't just selling results. They're selling rituals, texture, identity, and products that look incredible on camera. So I'd create skin care rank. Tiny colorful sprinkles you scoop into your moisturizer that dissolve on contact and customize your skin care in real time. And I'd launch with three hero products, good skinkles, classic rainbow style sprinkles infused with pearlescent pigments that melt into a glazed glass skin finish, bronze skinkles, golden caramel colored sprinkles that blend into moisturizer to give skin a warm bronzed post vacation glow, and blur skinkles, soft pastel sprinkles that melt into a silky blurring finish for smooth filtered looking skin. For launch, I'd collaborate with Dot Cake rank create limited edition cakes inspired by each product. You could purchase a glow cake inspired by glow skinkles, a caramel toned bronze cake, or a soft pastel blur cake, all designed to match the aesthetic and texture of each product. Would you buy this? You know I would.
