Being a teenager comes with plenty of variables. As social beings, we want to fit in and be accepted. Ok, some don’t follow the crowd or are complete individuals, which is also great. Teenagers are becoming very clever when shopping. They can use their smart devices and compare price points, ingredients, animal welfare, deals, sales and even design. They read reviews, understand trending, and tell their friends quicker than adults can blink. And all this sits in the palm of their hand. The young adult is thinking sharper and understands the world of fashion, glamour and cosmetics like no other. The Mobile Phone is changing young consumers’ minds rapidly.
So once you understand this, it’s highly important to get the shifting marketing patterns right. As we are looking at cosmetic packaging design today. Let’s take a quick look at some points to consider.
- Age Group – The term ‘teenager’ covers a wide spectrum of distinctive groups. 17-19-year-olds cover young adults, whereas 13-15 years can fall into older children.
- Price Points – Target groups will have different disposable incomes. Paper round money, PT work, pocket money or FT working.
- Design & Colour – This is difficult as something can come along and target everyone, or you may want to target a particular audience. This is where design time needs to be considered and worked on.
- Ingredients – What’s in the product? Will your cosmetic line affect different skin types? Are they natural or man-made? These outcomes could affect your targeted audience.
- Brand – The brand also needs to reflect the age group. Association is key here. Will teenagers talk about it and why. Is your brand memorable and will you gain loyalty? These are difficult variables to consider. However, they all work together with the target market criteria to form the end result.
- Research – Magazines, online articles and blogs are packed with information on this subject. Teen Vogues ‘Beauty’ is a good starting point for ideas on what cosmetic products work and what to avoid. Build a catalogue of research and try and find a product idea that sits perfectly with an awaiting audience.
- Packaging, Design & Concepts – The expectation of packaging for any market is changing. People expect quality, style, and fashionable and expect the product to work flawlessly. This wrapped in the correct price point, brand name and quality product bring with it consumer loyalty and growth.

Lip Gloss Designs That Make You Pout
Lipgloss is normally worn by teens as young as 13. However what packaging do they tend to go for?

According to this statistic, 119.97 million women in the U.S. used lipstick and lip gloss in 2017’. Here are our favourite products for the teenage market segment.
