The Challenge

Critical obstacles preventing beauty discovery.

LiveTinted faced significant barriers preventing them from capturing beauty enthusiasts actively researching skincare solutions.

01

Branded search dependency

Strong performance on "Live Tinted" branded terms but missing massive opportunity in educational beauty searches where customers discover new brands through ingredient research.

02

Competitive beauty market

Established players like Sephora, Ulta, and major beauty publications dominated informational queries ("best niacinamide serum," "dark spot corrector"), making direct competition nearly impossible.

03

Product discovery gap

Beauty customers research ingredients and solutions before brand discovery—LiveTinted wasn't present in those critical early research moments.

04

Limited educational authority

No topical authority in skincare education categories despite having products that solve these exact problems (hyperpigmentation, dark spots, skin tint).

The Approach

Educational content strategy for ingredient discovery.

Our approach positioned LiveTinted as a trusted educational resource, capturing users at the research stage before purchase intent.

Phase 1

Educational content strategy

Created comprehensive guides targeting beauty enthusiasts researching specific skincare ingredients and concerns. Captured users at research stage with "best [ingredient] serum" and "how to treat [concern]" content.

12 educational guides
