NYX Professional Makeup Launches in Israel
In an exciting development for beauty enthusiasts, L’Oréal has launched the NYX Professional Makeup brand in Israel. This marks the first formal introduction of NYX to Israeli consumers, resonating with those who appreciate its youthful appeal, strong social media presence, and budget-friendly prices.
A New Era for NYX
Since its acquisition by L’Oréal in 2014, NYX products have primarily been accessible to Israelis through international shipping services. With the recent launch, approximately 300 NYX makeup products will now be available at local drugstore chains, select beauty retailers, and perfumeries, making it easier for customers to explore the brand’s range.
Product Availability and Range
The initial rollout has commenced, with products already available at select locations across the country. The lineup includes a diverse array of items such as primers, concealers, foundations, eye and lip pencils, lipsticks, lip oils, setting sprays, and brow products, catering to a variety of beauty needs.
Competitive Pricing Landscape
Despite the local launch, some price comparisons indicate that purchasing NYX products online may still offer savings. While L’Oréal has set recommended retail prices for Israel, individual retailers have the flexibility to adjust prices and promote sales. This could help consumers find the best deals in a competitive market.
Price Comparisons
For example, the NYX Butter Lip Gloss has a recommended price of NIS 35 locally, whereas it is available on e-commerce site iHerb for around $7.25 (approximately NIS 24.3). Similarly, the Slim Lip Pencil is priced at NIS 20, while the same product can be found online for roughly NIS 18. Such discrepancies highlight the ongoing challenge of balancing local availability with competitive online pricing.
The Story Behind NYX
Founded in 1999 in Los Angeles by Korean-American entrepreneur Toni Ko, NYX aims to make professional-grade makeup accessible to everyone. The brand’s identity draws on the inspiration of the Greek goddess of the night, embodying a spirit of creativity and bold self-expression.
Innovative Marketing and Collaborations
Since becoming part of L’Oréal, NYX has flourished in markets worldwide, appealing to a diverse audience of young consumers and professional makeup artists. The brand is known for its dynamic marketing strategies, which include collaborations with celebrities and influencers. Its latest campaign features Paris Hilton and rapper Saweetie, who endorse popular products like Butter Gloss and The Face Glow Gripping Primer. A local campaign in Israel will also collaborate with Israeli influencers, digital creators, and makeup artists, amplifying its reach.
