The Challenge
For the At-Home Shade Match, Yanbal needed to make the "Shade finder" promise something shoppers in the colour cosmetics category could see for themselves, not just read on a label. In the few seconds a shopper spends at shelf or in a consultation, copy and ingredient lists rarely land, especially when rival products advertise colour match claims.
The brief for the At-Home Shade Match was to turn that abstract message into a tangible, repeatable proof point that retail staff, pharmacists or beauty advisors could run on demand, without lab equipment or specialist training, while staying on brand for Yanbal.
The Approach
USP Demo Solutions built the At-Home Shade Match for Yanbal around the Real Shade Finder method, reducing the Shade finder story to a single visible reaction the consumer can trigger themselves. That gives the conversation a clear before/after moment in the colour cosmetics aisle instead of a one-way pitch.
From the same physical interaction with the At-Home Shade Match, the demo substantiates claim areas such as colour match, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Yanbal range.
