Attributes are data points about products or individual customers, such as adds shine or skin tone. These details help customers understand how a product might integrate into their lifestyle and cater to specific skin types, hair colors, and other features or characteristics.
Attributes serve two purposes:
These detailed reviews can create a customer community, boosting current customers’ loyalty to your brand, and ultimately enhancing trust of new and current customers in your beauty brand. Attributes in reviews can also lead to the creation of Superfans, or highly engaged advocates of your brand.
When using Okendo Reviews, attributes give customers the opportunity to share insights about their experience with your product or products, while giving your brand the opportunity to gather meaningful customer data to personalize marketing campaigns and communications with customers.
It is recommended to include a maximum of 3-5 attributes to make the review process easy for the customer.
Let’s look at some of the types and most common attributes for beauty brands.
Brands can choose to include single-select, multi-select, and range attributes during the review capture process.
When setting up attributes in Okendo, beauty brands can select between three main types:
1) Single-select: Customers choose one option from a list, such as hair color and skin tone.
2) Multi-select: Customers can choose multiple options, such as product qualities like conditions well and adds shine.
3) Range: Customers provide ratings on a scale from 1-5. Examples include conditioning quality and long lasting effect. Centered range is a variation of the Range attribute, useful for measuring deviation from an existing standard.

Here are examples of beauty brands tailoring their attributes to fit their brand identity and speak to their customer base.
With a holistic approach to hair wellness, Vegamour uses single-select customer attributes that include the amount of gray hair a customer has and hair type. Multi-select attributes include concerns such as thinning hair and bald spots. This creates a positive customer experience for shoppers because they can get a good idea how the product will work for them based on specific attributes of other customers. For example, if a prospective customer is shopping for a product to help with bald spots, they can look for reviews that mention bald spots as a concern.
Krave Beauty is on a mission to challenge the fast-paced beauty industry to slow down. The brand captures customer attributes such as skin concern and skin type, and a product attribute that asks the customer what they liked about the product with options such as hydrating, noticeable results, and nourishing. If a customer wants to ensure they’ll get noticeable results, they can look for reviews that mention that quality.
Mermade Hair believes beautiful hair should be easy. They make their review capture process easy too, asking the customer for customer attributes of age range, hair type, hair length, and color. This gives shoppers an easy-to-read glance at the different attributes from other customers.
Clean beauty and cosmetics brand ILIA highlights skin type, skin tone, undertone, and age range as attributes in their reviews. This gives customers a good understanding of whether or not a product will work for their same attributes as well.
