“The color cosmetics market grew 8% from 2013-14, which represents an increase of 2.2 p.p compared to the growth of the previous year. Some of the factors influencing this growth (besides the expanding middle-class, and higher participation of women in the workforce), are innovations of national brands and the arrival of new international brands to the Brazilian market. ”
