Overcoming the makeup slump
As beauty consumption habits change, the effects are being felt industry-wide as consumers are gravitating more towards skin care than color cosmetics.

Consolidating existing color lines, increasing skin-care assortments and updating store layouts may be what helps to keep beauty retailers relevant. {Business of Fashion}

Deciem’s plan to bounce back
After the death of its founder Brandon Truaxe in January, Deciem‘s CEO Nicola Kilner has been working to restore the brand’s stability. Though Truaxe had a tumultuous last few months at the company, Kilner credits him for Deciem’s rapid growth and hopes to utilize his self-sustaining model with a unique emphasis on its employees. Through the rest of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, Deciem plans to release 32 new products, two new categories and a full bath-and-body collection. {Vogue}
