Makeup is a dynamic industry that is bringing billions of bucks to the global economy each year. From Rare Beauty all the way to Loreal, each makeup brand provides a different approach to makeup. Makeup has now become an integral part of many people’s routines, whether it is used on a daily or monthly basis. Statistics tell us that 41% of consumers wear makeup on a daily basis, whereas 25% use it several times a week.
