Beauty design trends

After acquiring marketing experience with major Beauty brands of the Estée Lauder and LVMH groups, Caroline Moulin discovered design thanks to the Desgrippes/Gobé Group, where she was appointed International Beauty Director.

It was her four-year stay in Tokyo as a correspondent for International Cosmetic News that made her develop a new global vision on Beauty design, and launch her own watch organization, NaO Design Trends, when she came back to Europe.

Caroline investigates everything related to Beauty design: retail, branding, packaging… she helps you better understand the best design strategy for your own company, brand, or product concept.

As a “Beauty trotter”, she regularly travels the world. She has just come back from Asia with various specific examples from Seoul, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, to provide some news and illustrate the current trends in packaging, retail, or more generally, design.

Today, NaO Design Trends now offers additional services, including setting up collaborations with Chinese artists in partnership with the Beijing- and Paris-based Doors, Art & Culture agency.

Caroline is also teaching beauty and luxury marketing, running master classes at ISIPCA in Versailles, France.
