Willowberry's Age Without Apology campaign
How well do beauty brands represent women as they grow older? It’s a question that brings to mind several well-known faces: Dame Helen Mirren, who was signed to L’Oréal Paris in her sixties and has been part of the brand for seven years, and Isabella Rossellini, who returned to Lancôme in 2018.
More recently, Lisa Snowdon was announced as the face of Prai Beauty and Kim Cattrall has partnered Ole Henriksen to front the brand’s new body care campaign.
Caroline O’Neill, General Manager of L’Oréal Paris UK & Ireland, adds: “Only 15% of women aged 55-plus feel that advertising still addresses them and their needs. And with more beauty users in this age group (37%) compared to the millennial age group (26%), there is a clear need to support further.”
