Reviews
This insightful guide to the dynamic forces that continue to shape the cosmetics industry will serve as an invaluable resource to the current and next generation of leaders in beauty. -- Christine Chang, co-founder and co-CEO of Glow Recipe
An excellent guide to cosmetics marketing that weaves together both the theory and the practical to provide a comprehensive review of the discipline. Karchin and Horvarth have done a superb job illustrating the text with real-life stories from the industry, from the very early days, to the most recent times and have included a fascinating chapter on the history of makeup. Each chapter contains well-defined learning objectives and there is a very useful section on planning a career in the cosmetics industry. This is clearly a reference text book for any aspiring cosmetics and beauty marketer. -- Simon Worraker, CEO, Japonesque
The Cosmetics industry is one of the most enduring and dynamic out there, and this text book provides a comprehensive primer on the different elements of business strategy as well as important historical context for the rapid evolution that is occuring today. - Amanda Baldwin, CEO, Supergoop!
Lindsay Karchin and Delphine Horvath's book Cosmetics Marketing: Strategy and Innovation in the Beauty Industry opens the curtains behind the complex beauty industry. It takes us on a comprehensive view from intriguing cultural history to the inner workings of today's cosmetics sector. A vital guide for anyone who wants to discover this unique industry. * Lan Vu, Founder & CEO, BEAUTYSTREAMS *
Cosmetics Marketing serves a critical need in fashion studies and elegantly brings together industry insights and key theoretical concepts. I find it strange that many fashion programs don't include beauty as part of the curriculum - even though it's a huge part of fashion. Cosmetics Marketing makes it easier to incorporate this important segment of fashion into both fashion and business programs. I'm grateful for this textbook - the first of its kind - and use it in my Beauty Culture, Commerce, and Innovation course. -- Denise H. Sutton, Associate Professor, Department of Business, City Tech-City University of New York, USA
