Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/29/2014 -- In 2013, both volume and value sales in all colour cosmetics categories registered a weaker performance than the review period average. Offers on mass products such as "buy 3 get the cheapest for free" or "buy 2 for..." at reduced price intensified, which kept impulse purchases up and attracted consumers. However, it also brought reluctance for consumers to buy when products were no longer on offer.

Competitive Landscape:

Colour cosmetics has four clear leaders in the UK: Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd, Boots UK Ltd, L'Oreal (UK) Ltd and Rimmel International Ltd, with respective shares of 15%, 14% 12% and 10%. While Boots, present primarily with the Boots Ndeg7 brand, has historically been a strong key player and appeals to all consumer segments, Estee Lauder benefits from offering several brands across all categories, including Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Mac and Estee Lauder. While being positioned as premium, Estee Lauder brands are offered at different price levels, a factor that helps to attract a wide audience across different age brackets.

Industry Prospects:

Consumers will expect retailers to continue to run promotions across all product ranges, which will entice them to buy items on a regular basis and enable them to achieve a variety of looks through the make-up they use.
