Anime-Inspired Cosmetics

This Tony Moly Collection is Branded with Iconic Pokemon Characters

— April 17, 2017 — Fashion
Tony Moly, a makeup and beauty product brand that's based out of Korea, took advantage of the ever-lasting Pokemon fandom by creating an entire collection that's themed around some of its most recognizable characters.

While the anime inspiration is featured on the packing for the most part, some of the products integrate the characters into the formula itself. For example, the Pikachu glitter nail polish features tiny lightening bolts in it. In addition to nail polishes, there's hydrating sheet face masks, compacts, toners, moisturizers, emulsions, and peel-off blackhead masks.

As Tony Moly's products still are not available within the US and Canada, those who wish to get their hands on the Pokemon cosmetics can order them through online retailers like Amazon and Ebay.
Trend Themes
1. Anime-inspired Cosmetics - Brands can leverage popular anime characters to create themed cosmetics collections, attracting fans and creating a unique product offering.
2. Character Integration in Formulas - Integrating popular characters into the formula of cosmetics products, such as nail polishes with character-inspired design elements, can enhance the overall consumer experience and appeal.
3. International Online Distribution - Brands can explore online distribution channels, like Amazon and eBay, to make their products accessible to international markets where they do not have physical presence, expanding their reach and customer base.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty and Cosmetics - The beauty and cosmetics industry can capitalize on the popularity of anime-inspired products by creating collaborations and themed collections, attracting a niche market of anime fans.
2. E-commerce - The e-commerce industry can benefit from the online distribution of niche products like anime-themed cosmetics, providing a platform for international brands to reach customers in different regions.
3. Licensing and Merchandising - The licensing and merchandising industry can explore partnerships with anime franchises to create branded cosmetics products, expanding their product offerings beyond traditional merchandise.
