“Manufacturers in the US market are keen on expanding their presence in the luxury segment. To achieve this, vendors are extending their presence in a wide spectrum of products ranging from bath products to nail polishes. Fashion designers such as Marc Jacobs and Tom Ford are also extending their presence in the premium beauty segment.

Face makeup market in the US: largest segment

The face makeup market in the US was valued at USD 5.04 billion in 2015. During this period, the face makeup segment emerged as the highest revenue generator in the color cosmetics market in the US. Bronzers and blushers became the top-selling beauty products, with sales increasing thanks to the contouring and face mapping trend. Smashbox’s Step-By-Step Contour Kit is one of the top three contour brands of Sephora.

In 2015, Topshop launched the Face collection, which featured foundations, concealers, a concealer palette, and two primers at affordable prices. The company currently has over 80 shops in the US. The launch of new products and innovative additions is predicted to aid the growth of this segment during the forecast period.

Eye makeup market in the US: second largest segment

The eye makeup market in the US was valued at USD 3.57 billion in 2015, owing to the growing demand for eye color cosmetic products. In an effort to tap this attractive market, the leading manufacturers are developing new products. Giorgio Armani Beauty's Eye Tint, launched in 2015, is available in the market for USD 38 and offers twelve shades. In the eyebrow makeup market, large vendors like MAC and Clinique are among the top players. The niche brand Anastasia Beverly Hills is also one of the fastest-growing brands in the US, while Benefit Cosmetics is among the leading brands in western US.

In the eyeliner segment, brands are now shifting from thick gel formulas to mess-free pens and tubes that can be applied without eyeliner brushes. Benefit Cosmetics was one of the first brands to launch gel liners in pen form, with the “They're Real!” push-up liners. The angled rubber tip allows users to get as close to the lashes as possible, thereby delivering a straight, clean line. Tarte Cosmetics' Tarteist Clay Paint Liner is the first-ever squeezable cream liner that comes with a tapered metal tip.

Lip makeup market in the US: third largest market

The lip makeup market in the US was valued at USD 1.47 billion in 2015. A wide variety of highly-pigmented glosses, stains, liquid lipsticks, and balms are available in the market that do not require the precision of applying lipstick, and hence can be used easily. Stila's Stay All Day Vinyl Lip Gloss, which is a high-shine, high-pigment, high-performance lip gloss, gives the appearance of a lacquered lip. The product prevents dry lips as it is infused with moisturizing ingredients, seaweed extracts, and organic green coffee oil. NYX Cosmetics' Soft Matte Lip Cream is another prime example of lipstick and lip gloss’ combination.
