    Executive Summary

    The colour cosmetics markets of Australia and South Korea both

    continue to grow strongly as spend per capita is high. Emerging

    economies, such as Indonesia, India and Vietnam, have enjoyed stronger

    growth, but remain hamstrung by their low per capita spend.

    Global markets Key issues What does it mean?

    Mascara brands have continued to innovate heavily around applicators

    and formulations as they look to add volume and length to lashes .

    Long lasting eye colour cosmetics have appeal in both the developed

    and developing world, with increasingly busy women looking for

    products that do not require reapplication. Brands should be

    looking beyond the eight and 12 -hour claims that have traditionally defined

    the industry, as more 24 -hour and 48 -hour cosmetics hit the market.

    Key Opportunity Markets Australia and South Korea have seen impressive

    growth and per capita spend. In growth terms, they have been outclassed by Indonesia, India and

    Vietnam despite their low per capita spend, which is still holding back the size of their markets.

    Slowing Markets Spain and Japan have recorded average value declines over the last five years. The mature

    Japanese market has struggled due to shifts in channel distribution, from department stores to

    drug stores and online, as well as a weak economy.

    Eye colour cosmetic innovation declines

    Eye colour cosmetic innovation has declined steadily as a percentage of total colour cosmetic NPD over the last four years, from a peak of 29% in 2010/2011 to 24% in the 12 months to March 2014. This is

    predominantly due to a rise in nail launches, which are now responsible for a third of introductions. Launches of both face colour and multi -use products have remained steady, while lip colour cosmetics

    still form the second most innovative segment.

    Eye shadow dominates, as eye liner launches rise

    Eye shadow continues to dominate eye colour cosmetic innovation, accounting for more than half of total launches in the 12 months to March 2014. This is largely due to the wide number of shades

    available. The development of eyeliners has risen steadily in the review period, driven by diversification of formats and innovations in the developing markets of Asia Pacific and Latin America. Eye lash

    products, meanwhile, accounted for just 16% of launches in 2013/2014, despite the widespread usage of mascara.

  • mintel.com 10

    Market overview: Top five claims, by sub -category, 2013

    Eye Brow Long - asting claims dominate in the eye brow segment, where

    consumers do not want to reapply more than once a day. Other

    convenience claims, such as ease of use and time/speed, are also

    common.

    Eye Lash Botanical/herbal claims have a stronger presence in eye lash innovation, while waterproof

    formulations are important as -

    products.

    Eye Liner Long lasting claims are at their

    most important in this segment. The same is true of seasonal products, as brands relaunch

    existing shades as part of their limited edition ranges.

    Eye shadow Brightening/illuminating remains the most important claim in the

    eye shadow segment, as it is the primary function of the

    products, ahead of long lasting and ease of use.

    Long - lasting claims grow as consumers desire convenience

    In the 12 months to March 2014, long lasting appeared as a claim on 47% of global eye colour cosmetic launches, up from 34% in 2010/2011. The majority of these innovations were in the eye shadow

    been driven by growing desire for convenient cosmetics as more women enter the workforce in developing economies and lifestyles become stressed in the developed world. They also appeal to value -seeking consumers as products that require less frequent application lengthen time between purchases. This is important in markets, such as the US, where 13% of make -up users are spending less on eye shadow. Most products have a general long lasting claim, but more brands are now specifying the number of hours required before reapplication.

  • mintel.com 12

    Long lasting innovations

    France: Avon Extra Lasting Powder Eyeshadow relaunched with a new

    formula that claims to last for 18 hours (previously 12 hours).

    Czech Republic: Essence Stays No Matter What 24h Volume Mascara said to be perfect for long nights of dancing, shopping tours or swimming sessions.

    Mascara brands innovate for lash growth

    Mascara brands have, in the last 12 months, continued to innovate heavily around applicators and formulations as they look to add volume and length to lashes. Mascara has high penetration in most major markets, with usage higher than any other make -up item in the UK and the US, while 60% of Chinese and 63% of Brazilian consumers use it. The product is quick and easy to apply and offers instant enhancement. However, consumers have shown interest in products that offer more varied and tailored lash effects. More than a quarter of French consumers are interested in, and would pay more for, innovations in mascara wands, a figure that falls slightly to 24% in Germany and 21% in Italy and Spain.

    Adjustable wands allow consumers to customise looks

    France: Bourjois Twist Up The Volume

    Canada: Pr Double Ego 2 - in - 1 Dual Action Mascara

    This approach has also been adopted by Pr with its Double Ego 2 - in -1 Dual Action Mascara, launched in late 2013. The product has an adjustable wand that

    lets the user dial up the amount of volume and length with a simple twist of the barrel.

    Bourjois has taken a particularly unique approach to applicator innovation with the launch of its Twist Up

    Volume mascara. The 2 - in -1 product has a switch that allows consumers to change the length of the bristles

    depending on the look they want. This allows it to be both a volumising and a thickening brush.

  • mintel.com 18

    Revlon Lash Potion promises extra volume and length

    Cosmetic brands have also looked to add volume and length to lashes through the use of specific

    ingredients. Revlon, for example, has launched the Lash Potion Grow Luscious Volume & Length

    Mascara, featuring a combination of strengthening proteins, amino acids and essential vitamins for

    extra volume and length.

    US and Canada in mid -2013, but has since been extended to both Europe and Asia. Some brands have gone even further, positioning their products as hair -growing supplements. Xtreme Lashes, for example,

    recently launched a supplement regimen designed to be consumed in conjunction with its topical eyelash

    serum to promote eyelash and eyebrow growth.

    The South African colour cosmetics market was worth

    $141 million in 2013, a decline of 5.5% year -on-year. Eye

    products accounted for 21% of value sales in 2012, down

    marginally from 22% in 2011.

    South Africa: Woolworths Wink About It

    In the wider Middle East and Africa, eye products accounted for 21% of innovation in the 12

    months to March 2014. Brightening/illuminating claims

    have risen significantly throughout the region in recent

    years, now appearing on a third of all launches.

    Ethical animal claims have also grown in the region in recent years. Woolworths

    Wink About It Liquid Eyeliner, for example , is approved by Beauty Without

    Cruelty, and is free from harsh ingredients and approved by a

    toxicologist.

    Products targeted at older consumers are less common in the eye cosmetics market than in other segments, such as lip and face colour. However, anti -ageing benefits are beginning to

    appear on some new launches as consumers look to hold off the signs of ageing.

    familiar with Asian products, services and lifestyles.

    UK: Western markets have, in the last few years, welcomed a number of eye colour cosmetics inspired by Asian culture

    or fashion. The Japonesque brand has led these efforts in the UK with a range of products inspired by the professional

    make -up tools used in Kabuki theatre in Japan. The range includes the Demi Flair Lashes above, as well as an eye

    Dazzle Me Eyeshadow and a Full On Mascara.

    Tweens have also become an important demographic for cosmetic brands as the average age of puberty has declined over the last few decades. Celebrities are particularly important to this

    generation, as the growing desire for fame creates pressure for consumers to look good in the eyes of others at an earlier age.

    control things we already own and analyze things we want to understand. Manufacturers are adapting to a society that relies on technology for every capacity of life.

    Eye colour cosmetic brands are, like the rest of the beauty industry, partnering with online bloggers and

    YouTube stars as they look to benefit from a lucrative new channel. L'Or al, for example, has created the cosmetics brand EM with Michelle Phan . The range includes a Lash Gallery Dramatic Volume Mascara,

    What does it mean?

    Long lasting eye colour cosmetics have appeal in both the developed and developing world, with increasingly busy women looking for products that do not require reapplication. Brands should even be looking beyond the eight and 12 -hour claims that have traditionally defined the industry, as 24 -hour and 48 -hour cosmetics are launched in growing numbers.

    Mascara brands should continue to innovate around applicator wands and growth formulations designed for longer and fuller lashes since consumers are increasingly looking for products that offer a false eyelash effect. In the UK, for example, 75% of women are interested in such innovations.

    Supplements that promise eyebrow and eye lash growth and regeneration also have significant potential , with Xtreme Lashes one of a number of brands experimenting in this area. Such regimes, used in conjunction with conventional eye colour cosmetic products, will appeal to older women or those that have lost their hair through chemotherapy, alopecia or over -plucking.

    The elderly will be the key consumer demographic of the next decade. Eye colour cosmetics specifically targeted at this age group are rare, suggesting an opportunity for products with added anti -ageing aesthetic and functional benefits.

This figure has declined since 2010/2011 as nail cosmetic development has surged, although NPD stabilised in 2013/2014. Extremely high usage of eye colour cosmetics in all major European markets suggests that the segment is currently being under -served by innovation,

    though the prominent position of both lip and nail cosmetics in NPD reflects the wider variety of shades available.

    Waterproof eye cosmetics grow

    Long - lasting and brightening/illuminating claims continue to dominate the European region, appearing on 50% and 39% of launches respectively in the 12 months to March 2014. However, waterproof products have been one of the fastest emerging trends over the last few years, with the claim appearing on 14% of launches in 2013/2014, up from just 6% in 2010/2011. This is primarily used to accompany a long - lasting claim, highlighting the technology used to keep products, such as mascara, in place. However, there remains potential for manufacturers to make a deeper emotional connection with such innovations by positioning them as tear -proof. Waterproof mascara, in particular, is often associated with emotional events, such as weddings or relationship break -ups, offering brands the opportunity to move products away from a purely functional positioning.

    Eyeliner gel innovation rises by 51% in 2013/2014

    The development of gel eyeliner has grown in Europe over the last few years. In the 12 months to March 2014, introductions increased by 51% year -on-year and by 218% since 2010/2011. The format has become popular by providing a softer finish than liquid liners, while also promising easier application and the same precision. Few eyeliner gels have so far been targeted at elderly consumers, despite the fact that this demographic is the most likely to be attracted to its ease of use claims as dexterity and skin firmness typically declines with age.

    False lashes offer value growth opportunity

    A growing number of consumers, particularly in the UK, are turning to false lashes to keep up with fashion trends. Development of false lashes rose by 22% year -on -year in the 12 months to March

    2014, but remain an extremely niche part of the total category. Recent introductions have focused on lighter, natural, reusable lashes as brands look to dispel concerns around the cost and artificial

    What does it mean?

    Most waterproof eye cosmetics are currently targeted for use when swimming, exercising or on holiday. Manufacturers have the opportunity to make such products more emotionally - focused as consumers associate waterproof mascara with tear - filled occasions, such as weddings.

    Most consumers still prefer the convenience of lash -lengthening mascaras over false eyelashes. However, lightweight, natural and reusable false lashes could increase their usage by dispelling concerns about the cost and artificial appearance of products.

    Eyeliner gels will continue to appeal to consumers as a softer, more convenient alternative to liquid formats. Older consumers could, however, be better targeted as they are most attracted to products that ease application as their dexterity and skin firmness declines.

    Developing additional accessories that can enable consumers to achieve a professional look, such as erasers and moulds, will interest consumers who are looking for tools that can help them better navigate the eye category.

In the 12 months to March 2014, 10% of category launches had a vitamin/mineral claim, up from just 4% in 2010/2011. This reflects wider interest in make -up with multi purpose benefits. In China, for example, almost half of users in the category are interested in trying products with multi purpose benefits, while just 29% believe multi purpose products do not perform as well as those designed for a single purpose. Eye colour cosmetics enriched with vitamins and minerals typically promise to moisturise, nourish and protect, with the vast majority launched in the eye shadow or mascara segments.

    Cosmetic brands in some Asian markets are developing products that allow consumers to enhance the tear bag, an area located directly under the lash line. The tear bag is believed to reflect the sweetness and innocence of youth and is referred to as the sleeping silkworm in China and the Aegyo sal in Korea. Cosmetic procedures that emphasise this area of the eye to make it look wider and more open have become popular in many markets, as have double -ended pencils that highlight and shadow to create the illusion of a plumper tear bag.

    Eye colour cosmetic kits that offer consumers all the tools to create a certain look have strong potential in North America. Innovation in this area increased by 24% in the 12 months to March 2014, albeit from a small base. Consumer demand for more options does, however, exist. In fact, close to half of US consumers have expressed interest in trying make -up kits that enable them to achieve different looks. Such attitudes currently peak among 35 to 44 -year -olds, who are time -pressed and looking for convenient, customized and versatile make -up. Most eye colour kit innovations so far have taken a more general positioning, rather than advocating a particular style. Interest in kits could rise if brands alter this approach and develop fashion - themed products since younger consumers are most likely to follow the latest make -up trends.
