The Subtle Lustre Of Lip Gloss

lip-gloss-trends

The glam of lip gloss has come a long way since its conception by Max Factor in the 1930s. Actresses made the lustre of lip gloss a global fashion statement overnight. The glossy lips reflecting the light into the camera gave the lip gloss a desired look and function on set while filming. Those old black and white classic films still had make-up artists using lip gloss to help accentuate the presence of the actress’s appearance.

A Growing Market

A 9-year report (2005 to 2014) from L’Oréal shows a steady increase in the world of cosmetics. Estimates show the industry is worth 180 billion euros with solid growth of over 3%. Luxury and dermo-cosmetics are trending with a growth factor of 5.2%.

Yves Saint Laurent and Giorgio Armani also posted double-digit growth figures in both lip and cheek products. Overall, the cosmetic market shows global growth and is ready for creative products and exciting new brands to make a statement to the market.

Modern Lips

Lips gloss is most popular with the younger generation (14-18 years of age). However, it doesn’t stop young professionals, mums and mature ladies from stashing a secret supply of lippy, ready to be whipped out for any occasion. The ‘plumping’ effect, which helps soften the lips and expose the curves of the pout, works well with lipstick or on its own. It’s the perfect alternative to collagen, Restylane, Juvederm or fat injections.
