3:15pm – 4:15pm: Foundation, the "Extra-liquid" revolution!

Round table moderated by Charles-Emmanuel Gounod, Beautyworld Connexions and Dr. Luisa Oliva, R&D Consultant. With the participation of: Clara Roux, Innovation Project Manager, Strand Cosmetics Europe; Angelica Bekanich, VP Commercial Operations, Intercos America; Nicolas Wierdack, Country Manager, Chromavis; Charles-Emmanuel Gounod, CEO & Founder, Beautyworld Connexions; Dr. Luisa Oliva, R&D consultant.

It is no doubt one of the key elements of these past few years - the development of extra liquid foundation formulations which are very light yet covering vs. traditional foundations (pressed powders, regular emulsions and "cooked products" like "Terracotta"). It is a real revolution with obvious impacts on the packaging and the applicators. Is it a sustainable trend or just a fad?

1. Is this "extra liquid" revolution having an impact on your industrial strategy (product development and manufacturing) in particular in Brazil and if so, how?
2. The "extra liquid" revolution is not limited to foundations…. The development of liquid lipsticks is a good example. What is your opinion?
3. Is this "extra liquid" revolution the same throughout the world? Where do we stand today in Brazil? What is the trend?
4. What are the advantages of the traditional types of formulation (pressed powders, emulsions, cooked products)?
5. Foundations are now getting closer to skin care formulation (i.e. BB, CC Creams). What is your opinion? What do you have to offer, in particular for the Brazilian market?

Round Table summary: So much is said about the so called "new man" behaviour regarding beauty and cosmetic product, but how prepared is Brazilian market for this consumer category? Is male make-up a trend? Do men really use (or don't use) make-up? In this multi-professional round table we will discuss different points of view of this "new man" as a consumer/user of make-up.

1. Among make-up accessories, these two products remain the most mythical. In both cases, they are so unavoidable that they gather a great deal of attention from cosmetic brands. They are both often used as flagship products. As an industrialist, what is your opinion on the evolution of these products and can you actually show us some your latest developments in this area?
2. There is no lack of patents concerning mascaras. Is it still possible to innovate in this area? Fiber brushes, plastic brushes, what is the trend?
3. Are the days of traditional lipstick tubes over? What is your opinion? What leeway is there to revive this almost ancestral product? Is the game worth the money?
4. Formulas are becoming more and more sophisticated, more and more fragile... Packagings must also be increasingly protective! Innovation is required.... But it has a cost! Are brand owners willing to pay the price? If not, what room for manoeuvre do you have?
