Beauty they say is in the eye of the beholder and we have seen a significant number of people who have made their mark in the beauty and makeup industry here in Nigeria.

Per Statista, the United States is the biggest cosmetic market in the world. It is estimated that its total revenue will exceed about 62 billion U.S. dollars and employ about 63,816 people by 2016.

One thing that has been certain is the growth of this industry, about 17.3 billion U.S. dollars was generated by online shops and mail-order household sales in 2013. Cosmetic sales are estimated to continue to grow in both the United States and other global markets, as many consumers feel that beauty products help in achieving social and economic goals. This is true for the Nigerian market; people are more conscious of their appearances and make extra efforts to look as good as they can.
