Beauty Marketing After The Hype: What Actually Builds Trust with Camille Moore
Mirror Mirror with Amy ChangShow Notes
This week on Mirror Mirror, I'm joined by Camille Moore — brand strategist, founder of Third Eye Insights, and consultant to some of the largest beauty brands in the world — for the unfiltered breakdown of how beauty marketing actually works in 2026, who's winning, who's quietly dying, and how consumers can decode the difference.
Pat McGrath Labs is reportedly up for sale to avoid bankruptcy. Rhode's mass-distribution deal may already be eroding its brand premium. Lululemon is committing what brand strategist Camille Moore calls "death by a thousand cuts." Augustinus Bader's Dua Lipa diffusion line was, in her view, a strategic mistake. And Summer Fridays stamping "Made in Korea" on the front of its packaging? That's where this conversation gets honest. → Have a beauty question you want me to tackle on the next Inbox?

What changes in your skin as you age and what changes when you stop believing your best years are behind you?In this special Mirror Mirror conversation with Shiseido, Amy Chang explores aging well from two perspectives: skincare science and personal reinvention.
