Mask and make-up: the eye attracts all the attention
Since the Coronavirus health crisis and the recommendation to wear a mask, French women consume make-up differently. Indeed, the mask covers the lower part of the face and thus camouflages the expressions of the mouth, such as the smile. Consumers can therefore temporarily free themselves from lipstick and focus instead on their eyes.
As a result, according to Hervé Navellou, "the consumption of mascaras and pencils will increase sharply if the wearing of masks continues". Mathilde Lion confirms this hypothesis by explaining that in April, online sales of eye make-up recorded "a 116% increase, especially the queen category of mascaras which increased by 150%".
So you will have understood: this "camouflage" does not prevent consumers from using make-up!
