The latest beauty inspiration
On Pinterest, we’re seeing Pinners increasingly use skin tone ranges to discover more customized beauty content that matches the skin tone range they’ve selected. After triggering skin tone ranges, we saw Pinners searching for “alternative makeup” (up 5x), “cool hair color ideas” (up 4x), “eyeliner styles” (up 3.5x) and “cool hair color ideas” (up 4x), enabling Pinners to more easily take action on these beauty ideas.
Inclusion and diversity is a top priority for our teams and while there is still much more to be done, Pinterest is committed to building a global platform that feels uniquely personal to everyone.
