SUMMARY
In 2017, COVERGIRL had to modernize itself in the face of constant new news from niche and prestige brands. So we did something unprecedented: we changed beauty's most memorable tagline.
COVERGIRL's new line, I Am What I Make Up, was an important update to "Easy, Breezy, Beautiful." It reframed prescriptive understandings of makeup and celebrated it as an act of self-expression.
This brought about a cultural reappraisal, with COVERGIRL at the helm, and resulted in double-digit sales growth and increased market share for the brand.
