PRADA BEAUTY TURNS ITS BLUSH INTO A VIRAL PR OBJECT

Prada Beauty activated a communication strategy by sending out a PR package in the form of a functional bracelet, designed to carry the product on the wrist.

The piece, referred to on social media as the Snap Blush Bracelet, integrates the blush into a portable wristband, drawing on the reference of slap bracelets, an accessory popularized in the late 1980s by Stuart Anders.

The format has been distributed to content creators as part of a social media–focused activation, positioning makeup as a hybrid object between cosmetic and accessory.

So far, Prada has not confirmed a commercial release, meaning the piece currently functions as part of its communication strategy.
