Europe is known for its strong emphasis on beauty, fashion, and personal grooming. Consumers in France, Italy, the UK, and Germany value high-quality cosmetic products, including mascara, as essential components of their daily beauty routines and self-expression. Consequently, the Europe region would acquire nearly 27% of the total market share by 2031. Additionally, the Russian E-commerce channels would register a volume of 22.39 Million Units (6-12ML) by 2031. European consumers are influenced by global beauty trends as well as regional preferences.

There has been a notable shift in beauty trends towards emphasizing eye makeup. Influenced by celebrities, influencers, and runway looks, trends such as smoky eyes, winged eyeliner, and bold lashes have become mainstream. In addition, makeup, including eye makeup, is increasingly seen as a form of self-expression. Therefore, increasing focus on eye makeup is driving the market's growth. Additionally, E-commerce platforms enable mascara brands to reach a global audience beyond traditional geographical boundaries. Furthermore, e-commerce platforms showcase various mascara products, including different formulations (waterproof, volumizing, lengthening, etc.), shades, and brands. In conclusion, the expansion of the e-commerce sector is driving the market's growth.

However, like many other cosmetics, mascara typically has a recommended shelf life of three to six months after opening. Moreover, the short lifespan can also affect consumers’ perception of value for money. If a mascara dries out or expires before it is fully used, consumers may feel they did not receive adequate value for their purchase. Thus, the short product lifespan is hampering the growth of the market.
