L'Oreal names France’s 'Caring 4 Beauty' team as winner of Brandstorm 2023, its global learning competition for youth under 30; team won for its URMODEL concept that allows users with mobile phones to see themselves as models on L'Oreal e-commerce sites

PARIS , June 16, 2023 (press release) –

L’Oréal today announced France’s ‘Caring 4 Beauty’ team as the winner of Brandstorm 2023, L’Oréal’s global, immersive learning competition for youth under 30. ‘Caring 4 Beauty’ won for their concept, URMODEL, inspired by the theme, ‘Crack The New Codes of Beauty’, referencing technology’s growing influence across the beauty industry. The selection was announced live from the Viva Technology conference in Paris.

In the finalist round of the competition, ‘Caring 4 Beauty’ competed against nine teams from Brazil, Chile, Mainland China, India, Kenya, Malaysia, the Middle East, Spain & Portugal, and Taiwan region. Each team pitched their AR, VR, AI and metaverse-inspired beauty concepts to the Brandstorm executive jury, for a chance to win a three-month business intrapreneurship at L’Oréal Groupe headquarters in Clichy.

The French team, represented by Inès Flammant, Marie Landrevie and Sophie Martinez, advanced to the top three, alongside teams representing Kenya and Malaysia. France’s URMODEL project was deemed the most innovative, tech-driven, sustainable, inclusive and feasible among all the Brandstorm 2023 concepts and crowned winner. URMODEL aims to deliver a hyper-personalized shopping experience by allowing anyone with a mobile phone to see themselves as the model on L’Oréal e-commerce websites. Consumers get a full, augmented beauty experience by being the face of their own beauty aspirations.

“Congratulations to Inès, Marie and Sophie of ‘Caring 4 Beauty’, whose passion for innovation and digital were the inspiration behind URMODEL,” said Jean Claude Le Grand, Chief Human Relations Officer, L’Oréal Groupe. “Each year, Brandstorm provides a unique learning opportunity, recognized with EOCCS1 certification and providing 100,000 people around the world with insight into career opportunities at L’Oréal.
