Summer Slump
According to Tribe Dynamics, there is often a dip in content during the summer months, however, Shiseido-owned brands, including NARS, Laura Mercier and BareMinerals, avoided July's decline experienced by many of the Top 10 brands.
NARS
Products meant to give skin a radiant, summery glow helped bolster NARS' $24.2 million EMV. NARS' Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation earned $3.6 million EMV and Radiant Creamy Concealer earned $3.2 million EMV. The products achieved 34% and 15% month-over-month EMV increases, respectively. The brand's Bronzing Powder generated $1.6 million EMV via mentions from 159 influencers, up from June’s $1.3 million EMV and 145 content creators.
Laura Mercier
While the brand's influencer following remained relatively the same from June to July, each July influencer reportedly generated an average 6% more EMV than their June counterparts. As for products, Translucent Loose Setting Powder earned $9.3 million EMV—the product’s highest monthly total year-to-date.
BareMinerals
The brand's EMV increased 15% MoM to reach $5.8 million in July. Ten percent of this is attributed to BareMinerals spokeswoman Hailey Bieber, who shared behind-the-scenes content and documented her travels to Tokyo with the brand. Additionally, the launch of Endless Summer Bronzer generated $381,900 EMV.
