Macaron-Inspired Makeup

Micaroon's Cute Cosmetic Packaging Resembles Tiny Macarons

— May 2, 2015 — Lifestyle
Lip glosses, lipsticks, eye shadow powders and blush from Micaroon all come in cute cosmetic cases that are shaped like adorable miniature macarons. This makeup brand from the UAE takes inspiration from the various colors and flavors that macarons come in, churning out cosmetics that taste look and taste like candies.

Although this brand is based in the Middle East, the popularity of macarons would likely have just as much appeal in Asian, European and North American markets, mostly because of the novelty packaging. By likening the look of its products to the famed French confection, it's easy to imagine that the smell and flavor of each one is just as much of a treat.

Looking beyond the packaging, Micaroon also puts an emphasis on ingredients that include minerals, vitamins and oils that will nourish and beautify the body.

3. Ingredient-focused Cosmetics - The emphasis on minerals, vitamins, and nourishing oils in cosmetic products offers an opportunity for brands to tap into the growing demand for clean, natural and beauty-enhancing ingredients.
Industry Implications
1. Cosmetics - The cosmetic industry can explore macaron-inspired packaging and candy-themed makeup to attract consumers through unique and visually appealing products.
2. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry could collaborate with cosmetic brands to create cross-promotion opportunities by featuring actual macarons that match the makeup packaging, creating a cohesive branding experience.
3. Fashion and Accessories - Fashion and accessory brands can leverage the popularity of macaron-inspired makeup to create cohesive product lines, offering a complete look and enhancing consumer appeal.
