Resumo:
The objective of the present study is to analyze the reasons that lead low-income consumers to Indulge in beauty products, even when they are in debt. Marketing literature indicates that the motives driving low-income women to consume beauty products are closely related to their feelings of inferiority toward women of the higher purchasing power classes. This helps to explain the reason why the consumption of beauty products can resist the effects of the crisis that Brazil is experiencing, since the Brazilian has chosen to give up leisure spending instead of reducing purchases of products and services related to beauty and esthetics. To reach the proposed objective, a qualitative and exploratory research was carried out. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with low-income women, who were already in debt, but did not stop consuming beauty products. Through the interviews, it was possible to understand the reasons that lead low-income consumers to consume shampoos, perfumes, enamels and other beauty products, even if this meant going deeper into their state of debt..
