MISSION Yves Saint Laurent Beauté gives body and soul to a style. Completely liberated, it asserts itself as a collection of icons, with each creation driven by boldness, youth and the avant-garde.

Yves Saint Laurent

In the wake of Saint Laurent, who showcased the spirit of the times for nearly 40 years, YSL Beauté continues its unbridled love affair with women to create, shape and develop modernity. No compromise. Your own rules. Now.

VISION Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent radically changed the luxury industry by defying the rules of the past, by daring to break the codes of fashion, reinventing them according to his vision. He lived his life looking to break out from the conventions, inspiring everyone to follow their own rules. Intensely. Passionately. Unapologetically. Just as Yves Saint Laurent had a daring state of mind calling for reinvention and action, this philosophy of life inspires our social and environmental commitment that we share with you now.

SEGMENTATION Geographic

Demographic

Lifestyle

YSL Beauty tries to attract younger customers by inviting popular celebrities to launch special editions of packages. The company target a certain social class who can afford luxury cosmetics goods.

The western and easter customers do not have the same values, especially for makeup. For example, in China, red lipstick is the most popular product.

The target of the brand is young customers who can afford luxury makeup and skincare. But for perfumes, it is different, because the fragrance is an easier way for low professional society to enter in the dream of luxury brands.

POSITIONING STATEMENT Yves Saint Laurent Beauté gives body and soul to a style.

POSITION & BRAND IMAGERY Positioning is the act of designing a company's products and image in order to occupy a unique position in the mind of the target market. YSL Beauty is a cosmetics, make-up and skincare brand with high quality positioning. The company is also trying to attract younger customers, and it needs to invest heavily to develop high-quality products to make customers feel that they get what they pay for. And advertise in high quality magazines.

There's a lot of competition in the market now, and there are a lot of companies in three businesses, perfume, cosmetics and skin care. Chanel, Dior, Gulain and Lancome. They are mainly rivals of Islam. Some of these brands specialize in cosmetics, Sephora, MAC and MakeupForever. Their core business is cosmetics, so they have the expertise to provide high-quality cosmetics, and they are positioned for the mass market, not the luxury industry.
