Face makeup refers to a subset of cosmetics that are applied for concealing imperfections of the facial skin including pores, dark spots, wrinkles, freckles and blemishes. The value of the global face makeup market was worth US$ 42.7 Billion in 2020. The continuous trend of growth in this industry can be easily realized in the upcoming years as well. Constant product innovations by manufacturers coupled with aggressive promotions have contributed to the growth of the market.
Customers have become more conscious and knowledgeable about the makeup and cosmetics they use recent years. They prefer to have a proper visualization before buying any product.

Businesses are being significantly impacted by physical retail store closures due to the pandemic. Testing the make-up products manually is not possible while buying products online. Even in a physical shop, keeping a tester for each product is very cost consuming. The influence of social media and the emerging trend of the selfie has led to an increase in the interest of consumers for face makeup products, particularly amongst the young population.
