Abstract
The Spanish make-up market has thrived over the review period to reach an estimated €710 million in 2008, up almost 5% on 2007. This has prompted enthusiasm from suppliers and a constant stream of innovation. The principal theme since 2003 has been the growing shift from the simply decorative to the ' decorative plus' - make-up that is at the cutting-edge of style and fashion but is also good for the skin. Products such as foundation are now taking on board many of the characteristics of skincare.
The more make-up suppliers have been able to chime in with the spirit of the times, the better their sales. At the same time, lip, eye and nail make-up remains fundamentally about decoration, colour and relevance.
The countries examined within the Consumer Goods Intelligence series of reports are France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK. Mintel last examined this market in Fragrances and Cosmetics, Spain, June 2006. Note that some data have been changed since the last report due to new information from the trade.
