With the increasingly fierce competition in the cosmetic market and the rapid development of the Internet, the dynamic changes in the industry have made marketing planning more and more important. This study takes Fenty Beauty as a case to explore the relationship between its brand marketing strategy and market competitiveness. Research topics focus on how celebrity endorsements, social media promotions, user-generated content (UGC) and inclusive product strategies can enhance brand value and market performance. The research analyzes the application effects of these strategies through case analysis. The results show that Fenty Beauty has successfully established a new benchmark for inclusiveness in the industry, not only meeting the needs of diverse consumers, but also significantly enhancing brand awareness and consumer loyalty. Based on this, the paper gives three suggestions. To remain competitive, the company needs to promote continuous innovation by optimizing their products and using new technologies to meet the needs of consumers. At the same time, deepening the brand story strengthens the emotional connection, which enhances loyalty and long-term interaction. Additionally, a focus on sustainable practices can enhance market competitiveness by improving brand image and fulfilling social responsibilities. Finally, strengthening user feedback and interaction not only promotes innovation, but also enhances satisfaction and loyalty, forming a virtuous development cycle. These strategies complement each other and work together to drive growth and enhance brand value.
