The cosmetics and personal care industries are massive. Many brands are competing for consumers’ attention, with a variety of beauty products. It can be difficult for any brand to succeed and stand apart from an industry giant, let alone working within a saturated marketplace.
One way brands can stand out is through attractive and functional cosmetics packaging that appeals to consumers on many levels. The following techniques are being used in cosmetics packaging to help brands make a splash!
Embrace Simplicity in Cosmetics Packaging
According to The Goldstein Group, people recall images first by color, then shape, then by symbol, and finally by words. If you’ve worked your way through all that… then you will know that creating cosmetics packaging that has simple but striking colors and shapes can help people remember your packaging. Simple packaging also omits unnecessary information that may confuse the consumer.
Laminated or Scented Packaging
Laminated packaging has a great visual appeal that helps catch people’s attention. Adding texture and scent to your packaging can also help grab the consumer’s eyes and increase their chances of buying your product.
Foil Stamping for Luxury

Haptic Appeal

Tell Your Brand Story Through Artwork
Creating cosmetics packaging that tells your brand story can help you connect with consumers. This can be an excellent method, particularly if your brand has specific social or global goals.
Logo As Focal Point
