This report looks at the Colour Cosmetics market in Europe and covers facial products. In addition to looking at the colour cosmetics market size and market share, it also provides an in-depth analysis of consumer behaviours and trends affecting the industry, in addition to a market forecast and awareness of current opportunities.

"Make-up with skincare benefits, such as anti-ageing and pore-minimising, has seen good growth in demand in recent years, as women look for products to give them a luminous, blemish-free complexion. Four in ten women now look for added-benefit make-up, particularly more affluent buyers and 45-54-year-olds, which means particular potential for prestige brands to launch specific anti-ageing make-up based on their top-selling anti-ageing brands."

– Michelle Strutton, Head of Beauty Research

Some key factors from the report include:

£1,999.01

  • Volume sales of face make-up are biased towards women aged under-25, who post both the highest penetration rate and frequency of use.
  • British women post the highest usage of the big 5 for all core products within face make-up, which is a positive market driver, but leaves relatively fewer opportunities to expand the consumer base further.
  • Apart from replacing a product they have used up, women buy make-up on impulse to take advantage of a special offer or because a product catches their eye in-store.
  • Definition: Face make-up: Foundation, blushers, illuminators, face bronzing lotions, creams and powders, loose and pressed powders, mineral powders.

    Forecast data are based on growth in the population.
