Recently, many major makeup brands have been under heavy criticism because their products do not cater to a wide range of skintones - L’Oreal attempts to set themselves apart in this advertisement.

Although society has adapted to the extensive amount of advertisements, it's critical to stop and contemplate the messages that are presented. The internet is filled with ads promoting beauty and cosmetic products, which often claim to make women feel better about themselves. In truth, the corporation advertising the cosmetic product causes the purchaser to feel inadequate, so consumers think they must use said product to enhance their pulchritude. The audience for the magazine advert comprises those who crave to look more attractive from having better-styled eyelashes, and as "Maybelline" is a supermarket brand, it appeals to an average income household.

The marketer must conduct a survey with a large sampling of subjects from the target culture, asking pertinent questions involving preferences, social norms, values and lifestyle customs, to determine cultural traits. Had L'Oreal done their research prior to introducing Plenitude in the US, they could have had a better assessment of the marketplace and therefore avoid some mistakes they made when Plenitude was introduced in the US.
To reduce confusion, L'Oreal Plenitude can divide its product lines into several sub brands, for example, L'Oreal Plenitude Pure Balance Series for women who have oily skin, Nutrient Series for women who have acne problem, etc. L'Oreal can provide in-store brochure or leaflet as the guideline or regime to choose the product. The guideline can start by asking the question such as; what kind of skin do you have?, Are you in the age 20s, 30s, 40s or 50 plus?, etc. After the consumers use the guideline, they will know which product they need. L'Oreal can also use direct mail (catalogue) to educate the consumers and promote their product. The catalogue will also give consumers the guideline of Plenitude products, and information about the newest product and technology of the brand.
Considering these environmental trends and cultural differences into account, positioning Yue Sai as a provider of “delicate luxury cosmetics for mature Chinese women” under the LCD of L’Oreal, is the ideal choice. It will help L’Oreal establish a sustainable and profitable presence in a Chinese market segment inaccessible by its other sub-brands.
Reduce information in packaging and advertisement, use common terms that is easily understood. Packaging and Advertisement should focus in L’oreal name.

In this way, L’Oreal can inform its customers on its products which should also help them in choosing the right product for themselves. L’Oreal should also focus on building the brand Plenitude since this is something that customers are not aware of. They

Cosmetics fall into their own marketing arena. It is the only other product, besides food, that consumers are in constant need of because cosmetics are used in our everyday lives. Cosmetics, in order to have any type of customer base, are made with great quality in mind. With all these different brands offering the same types and qualities of products, Dove had to branch out into another important segment of this cosmetics market. Cosmetics are being used just as much by men as they are used by women, and it is important that a cosmetics product line can compete in the market of men’s products as well. Dove’s main competitors, Nivea, L’Oreal, and Garnier, have not crossed into making men’s products. The lack of men’s products gives Dove a competitive advantage in their arena. Dove has dominated in this category through their marketing and different direction.
