The Colour Genius

This week I came across an integrated marketing campaign that really grabbed my attention.

Being an indecisive female, im always open to someone elses advice when it comes to clothes and make up.


Which dress? What shoes? Does that eye shadow really match the shade of grey on my dress? Maybe I should start again…


Perhaps L’oreal Paris has come up with a solution!


The L’Oreal brand operates in the beauty/ cosmetic consumer market and The L'OrĂ©al Group is the world's largest cosmetics and beauty company, according to David Jones (26/1/10 Reuters).



Product: The Colour Genius iphone app


“Match it, Blend it, Clash it”.







The App is free and claims to be the 1st make up app that matches your make up to your outfit.

Campaign Objectives:

  • To inform consumers that L’oreal now have an iphone app that acts as a personal stylist.
  • To persuade current beauty product buyers to brand switch to L’oreal.
  • To encourage consumers to trial the product.
  • To boost sales. Through a clever marketing strategy this occurs indirectly. Downloading the app is free and promotes brand awareness. To follow through with the outcomes of the app the consumer must purchase the specific L’oreal product if they want to achieve the desired look.



“Because you’re worth it”.
