"The Beauty Boom: US Skin Care and Makeup Sales Striving to Sky Highs"

Updated: Nov 17, 2023

The US beauty industry is experiencing robust and intriguing growth. The runway of the cosmetic and skincare sector has been lavished with impressive sales, demonstrating both resilience and dynamism as the drivers of prosperity constantly alternate.


Notably, recent data revealed stunning sales accelerations through the third quarter. Beauty dollar sales enjoyed a dizzying ascent – a robust 14 percent increase within the prestige domain, as disclosed by Circana, a global beauty industry advisory service. Simultaneously, in the mass market sector, dollar sales outstripped by a commendable margin of 8 percent.

The metaphorical 'lipstick index' has held firm in this battle. Lip makeup, driven predominantly by lip oils, balms and glosses, has seen the speediest boom in the prestige market, with sales surging by 16 percent. In essence, cosmetics and skincare brands have underscored their status as 'healthy categories' across the board.


Yet, the allure extends beyond just beauty essentials. The fragrance sector has also been luxuriating in the scent of success. Though the growth of luxury fragrances experienced a slight deceleration, the overall fragrance category has witnessed a revenue swell of 13 percent.


A critical pivot is being engineered in the skincare sphere. Active demand for lower-priced brands within the prestige skincare domain is influencing unit sales substantially. Notably, face serums and creams have driven sales numbers, posting 21 percent and 12 percent growth in dollar sales respectively.


This narrative of beauty expansion is, indubitably, an optimistic outlook, which underscores an era of resilience, opportunity, and evolution across the cosmetic, skincare, and fragrance landscape.
