In Europe, colour cosmetics have a long history, with many of the world’s oldest and most iconic beauty brands originating from the region. From classic French luxury brands to modern British indie brands, Europe is home to a diverse and vibrant cosmetics culture. Furthermore, the European colour cosmetics market is experiencing growing demand for natural and organic beauty products. Consumers in Europe are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of the beauty industry and are seeking out products that are made from sustainable and eco-friendly ingredients. This has led to the growth of natural and organic beauty brands, such as Dr. Hauschka and Kjaer Weis, that offer high-quality colour cosmetics made from plant-based ingredients. Moreover, there is a focus on achieving a natural, sun-kissed look, which has led to the popularity of bronzing products and tinted moisturizers. In contrast, in northern Europe, where fair skin is often prized, there is a focus on achieving a flawless, porcelain complexion, which has led to the popularity of light-reflecting and illuminating products. For instance, BB creams, which originated in Asia, have become popular in Europe in recent years, offering a combination of skincare and makeup benefits in one product. Similarly, multi-use products, such as lip and cheek tints or eyeshadows that can be used as highlighters, have become popular among consumers looking for versatile and efficient beauty solutions. In addition, the European colour cosmetics market is also influenced by fashion and beauty trends, with many consumers looking to stay up-to-date with the latest looks and styles.

This has helped to increase consumer confidence and reduce the risk of dissatisfaction with online purchases.
