Whether we’re discussing AR, VR, or the broader “Metaverse”, mixed reality has become one of the most talked-about trends in the world of marketing, and China is no exception. The line between our physical and digital worlds are constantly being blurred, and consumers in the market are going back and forth between the two, spending time and engaging in commerce in each world.
Whether they are communicating, being entertained, shopping, or working, Chinese consumers are finding more and more aspiration in the digital world, which is improving, augmenting, and inspiring their lives in the physical world.
To help Grande Cosmetics take advantage of this new trend and jump into China’s beauty Metaverse, Creative Labs collaborated with one of the most popular animated characters in China, presenting them with attractive eyelashes, courtesy of the New York-based brand.
