It’s been a year since online beauty platform, Cosmetify, launched its initial ‘Cosmetify Index’, where it ranked the world’s biggest beauty brands on factors such as their social reach and engagement. Now, it’s time to take a look at the latest state of the beauty industry with Cosmetify’s 2020 Q3 report.
Of course, the world has changed a lot since Cosmetify’s last refresh of the Index, which came just as the COVID-19 outbreak was taking hold, so how have things changed for Quarter 3 (July to September)?
In Australia, The Body Shop has taken the top spot as most favoured brand, with Cosmetify reporting that it was also in the top brand in 31 different countries around the world.
