That is the impressive figure most experts quote when talking about the production of mascaras. A recent research indicates that nearly 54% of women could not do without this product, while just 18.5% say their foundation is essential, and only 13.1% could not do without their lip gloss.  <i>For the majority of women, it is unthinkable to go without mascara.</i> The eyes, the look, and especially the eyelashes have become the focus of feminine seduction. As a result, the major cosmetic brands compete in ingenuity to better curl, lengthen and cover them.

With more than 6 percent growth reported from 2001-2006, the overall makeup category has continued to soar with strong contributions from the natural and anti-aging makeup segments. Last year, the makeup industry garnered USD 6 billion in food, drug and mass merchandiser (FDM) sales.<br><br>"<i>Women continue to search for the fountain of youth, and the anti-aging sector has expanded significantly to cater to this need,</i>" said Kat Fay, senior analyst for </font><a href="http://www.mintel.com/" target=_blank><font color=#000000>Mintel</font></a><font color="#000000">. "<i>This particular segment has grown because products are more area specific, which helps the consumer narrow the field of choices. Because Boomer women cover three different decades, formulations must serve a variety of expectations from tightening skin to reducing fine lines.</i>"<br><br>Beyond anti-aging, </font><a href="http://www.beauty-on-line.com/ebn/newsletter.asp?eid=157" target=_blank><font color="#000000">natural products have also significantly driven growth in the makeup sector</font></a><font color=#000000>.

According to Mintel GNPD, more than 200 new introductions in this area have debuted in the U.S. this year. More than one fifth of global organic and natural new product makeup launches have come from the U.S. alone.<br><br>"<i>As consumers increasingly embrace natural and organic foods in the grocery store, health and beauty items will also mirror this trend,</i>" said Fay. "<i>Women are paying closer attention to what they eat, as well as what beauty products they choose.
