    The make-up sector is booming in the UK. Although the Brexit brings some uncertainty, the indoor market is vibrant and businesses are creative, bringing fresh ideas, and reshaping standards.

    At a round table bringing testimonials from the brand, retail and manufacturing side, MakeUp in New York brought insights into the world of make-up in the United Kingdom, and drew the trends in textures, formulas, packaging of this vibrant market.

    British consumers are eager to try on new products and test out new trends. Remember: the "big brows" trend came from England. Young consumers, although driven by price, are open to novelties and with the boom of Beauty bloggers, every single girl has a chance to share her opinion and shape the future.

    "It's all about social media. Nowadays niche brands also have the possibility to express themselves via this digital space, and new opportunities arise" confirms Emily Maben, Marketing Manager at Sleek MakeUp, the fastest growing make-up brand in the UK.

    Premium brands as well as mass market brand are taking a step forward. Covent Garden, in Central London has become THE Beauty Quarter... the new rendezvous for make-up. Every brand is trying out its new beauty concept store.

    This Beauty Quarter testifies of the dynamism of the British colour cosmetics market, which is the 1st in Europe representing a value of 2.088 billion euros.

    What about the future?

    Will the UK remain a platform of access to the European market? Up until recently, American brands were relying on the UK to launch into Europe. Will the Brexit changes the game? In the conference held on the 7th of September at MakeUp in New York, A portrait of the UK market was drawn and explained the opportunities and the challenges, and gave perspectives on how to succeed and how to find a space in this highly competitive space.

    "You need to draw a strategy centred on researching, studying and knowing our market" said recently Grace Fodor, founder of Studio 10.
