Cosmetics in general SUCK. Feed vanity, pollute the planet and the person plastering them on, and involve disgusting amounts of animal testing.

Businesses shouldn’t expect to make money in China for long term
China will find a way to kill foreign companies, support Chinese companies.
They let foreign companies into China so that they can steal technology, create supply chains within China.
Only Chinese companies can start a factory in China, this benefits Chinese companies a lot.

I truly enjoy the information and stories here but it’s so hard listening to AI mispronounce so many common words.

And they ignored the customers who got them here. Betting on a market that is extremely fickle. Do nothing family members who got rid of Prescriptives while buying up their rivals to only them shut them down. Changing the formulations of the ones they keep. Putting the ridiculous TF line in their old prescriptives spaces. The Aerin line is also a waste. 55 dollar TF lipstick! Estee Lauder is definitely rolling over in her grave.

The margins kn luxury cosmetics are so high (like thousands of percent) that if they really wanted to compete they could lower their prices in mainland China to make up for the tariffs; they just don't want to take the perception hit that it would cause for their wealthier European and American consumers.

Umm why would you expect China to buy your stuff when your government set out to bring down the Chinese economy? You can’t have it both ways.

I think Estee Lauder's strategy was to gobble up new and upcoming brands like the ordinary but it became too big to control and manage properly. I think they bit off more than they could chew.
