NEW SERIES:
FRIDAY HAPPY HOUR✨
It's the Spate team here, and in celebration of our new food and beverage data, we'll be sharing the edible trends we love each week.
Ellie, Beauty Insights & Marketing Lead, says, "This week I ventured to what TikTok is calling the 'Erewhon of NYC', AKA Happier Grocery. I reached for a prebiotic soda, Poppi Classic Cola to be specific, and a vegan pizza. I will be back – primarily because the beauty, body, and supplement selection deserve more of my time."
Addison, Beauty Strategy & Innovation Manager, says, "Olive oil cake is one of my favorite desserts. I don’t think it gets enough publicity, but they have an orange olive oil cake MUFFIN at Café Integral. The citrus element also tones the sweetness down a bit. It goes perfectly with my morning coffee (one splash of whole milk, please)."
We'll continue to share the food trends we love every Friday to inspire your weekend. If you want more food insights, you can also join our food newsletter. Bon appétit!

WHAT'S TRENDING? THE TOP GROWING FOUNDATION TRENDS ON SEARCH IN THE US
Below are two top growing foundation trends on search in the US. Read on to learn how these could impact your business.
The Spate POV
The foundation you choose greatly depends on both your skin type and your vibe. There’s the no-makeup-makeup crowd who swears by skin tints and serum foundations. Then there are those who prefer a full beat, opting for heavier coverage and more matte formulations. Interestingly, data shows that the top growing foundation and base products in searches in the US are water based foundation and glow foundation.
Water based foundations consist mostly of water and pigment, and they’re incredibly popular, with high competition and nine market leaders, including Tarte. Consumers are searching for best and review alongside water based foundation, highlighting their desire to conduct research before making a purchase. Brands should consider implementing gifting-for-review programs to boost their review count. They should also consider partnering with influencers to review their products on social media, aiming to make it appear as non #sponsored as possible. Consumers are also searching for face primers, oil based, and silicone, indicating a concern about mixing water based foundations with other formulations. Brands should explicitly address the mixing and matching of formulations and their effects in the product description.
Glow foundation is another highly competitive trend with eight market leaders, including Nars, NYX, and Dior. Consumers are searching for sheer, luminous, flawless, glowing, and filter, highlighting the benefits they’re seeking from this trend. Searches for product formats such as serum and liquid foundation provide insight into the preferred formulations in consumers’ minds when it comes to glow foundation. Additionally, searches for shades alongside glow foundations showcase a concern for the diversity of shade ranges in foundations. In 2023, there’s no place for foundations with only five light to medium shades— inclusivity is essential.
Foundation sets the stage for the rest of one’s makeup look, and as a result, a lot of energy goes into researching and testing different formulations before committing to one, especially if it’s a splurge.
