Winky Lux Captivates Young Consumers with Experiential Retail and Plans Expansion

Whimsical color cosmetics brand Winky Lux is a best practices leader in online to offline retail with four flagship stores located in NYC, Chicago, Atlanta and DC. The Winky Lux experience is designed to spark imagination, create sharable content and foster opportunities to connect with fellow beauty lovers and friends.

 The experience stores include seven completely transportive rooms such as a matcha zen garden, a disco infinity karaoke room, an “Alice in Wonderland” styled floral garden, a hydration station in the clouds and a miniature scaled coffee shop which mirror some of Winky Lux’s best selling products. Beauty lovers can also test and shop Winky Lux’s unique products and exclusive merchandise in the storefronts before entering into the experience. 

Over the past six months, the brand has seen wide scale success with the stores receiving over one million social impressions per month. As a result, the brand plans to expand with two new locations in Nashville and San Francisco opening this spring. The Nashville store opened this month located at 604 12th Avenue South.

Natalie Mackey, Founder of Winky Lux stated,“We are excited to open several new experience stores in 2019. The current stores have created an interactive hub for our community of customers to play with products, hang out with each other and swap beauty ideas. Our new stores will have unique art installation and some, including Nashville, will have a salon component where experts can shape brows, perform matcha mini facials and prep you for a night on the town.”

Through the marriage of entertainment and commerce, the brand has successfully created a way to acquire and galvanize hundreds of thousands of 16-29 year old customers.
