How does the metaverse work?
The metaverse is a virtual environment that allows people to interact in a more immersive environment. These online spaces are becoming common destinations that offer endless possibilities for new forms of communication, exchanges and shared experiences.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we connect, particularly with a greater emphasis on remote collaboration and an accelerated digital transition for many industries, including beauty brands.
New shopping habits have emerged from consumers focusing on contactless purchases and more so robust e-commerce user experiences. Since their inception, online dating, shopping, and education have all been embraced by younger consumers, and this trend continues with these consumers now leaning into virtual fashion, beauty, and meta-world experiences. Digital beauty is a trend that brands will continue to invest in as the metaverse becomes a destination to better connect with Gen Z consumers and beyond.
How social media enabled the spread of the metaverse in the beauty industry
For the beauty industry, filters have marked a new way for consumers to virtually try on makeup, hairstyles – testing out glossy lipsticks, colorful eyeliners and, more daringly, trying on hair. rainbow-colored – and to experiment with styles they might not be so willing to try in real life. Want to take a selfie but don’t have time to wear makeup? Filters allow you to create camera-ready looks in seconds.
Since their inception, social networks have completely changed the way brands connect with consumers. The rise of influencers continues to shape the digital landscape while setting the pace for the latest trends. User-generated content (UGC) such as TikTok challenges, Instagram posts with brand-related hashtags, YouTube DIY tutorials, and reviews have become staples in a brand’s marketing strategy.
The metaverse is poised to enable next-gen users to go beyond being consumers and become creators through virtual brand challenges and more immersive product demos.
