ROSEANNA ROBERTS

Roseanna worked as the director of trends at The Color Association of the United States for over 7 years. Her role began as a full-time employee, developing and producing the company’s 9 annual trend forecasts as well as consulting with clients such as Johnson & Johnson, Nike, L’Oreal and Victorinox on custom projects.

During her time at CAUS, Roseanna identified a gap in the market for a beauty industry-specific trend forecast (liberating it from the fashion category). In response, she spearheaded the launch of this new beauty category, joining the interiors, women’s, men’s and youth forecasts. This was the first new industry report to be added to CAUS’ roster in over 40 years.

In addition to defining macro, color and texture elements, the beauty forecast moved beyond the traditional color card format, to deliver a “bento box” of inspiration. Included in this tangible offering were cutting edge cosmetics, perfumes and packaging that Roseanna partnered with manufacturers such as Verla and Drom Fragrances to develop.
