1. Market Sizes
2. Company Shares

A number of EU countries have developed a

large trade surplus and a significant
comparative advantage in cosmetics
products. This is clear evidence that
cosmetics manufacturers in these countries
have, over the years, identified the most
important consumer trends and have
responded with new product offerings that
have been successful. These companies have
accomplished this task in both domestic and
export markets. In the process, these
companies have successfully developed
strong brand recognition in a highly
competitive and dynamic market place.

involvement
2. Brand personality
3. Brand attitude
4. Demographics

Using fi ve dimensions of product

involvement, this study successfully identifi
ed fi ve cosmetic consumer types
( uninterested and casual, cautious and confi
dent, aspiring, interested and carefree, and
enthusiast), each differing in their perceptions
related to personal interest and importance,
enjoyment and pleasure associated with the
product, sensitivity to making the right
cosmetic product choices and confi dence in
cosmetic buying decisions.

research provides how customer makes

market. To competing in the market,
product must adjust the attributes product

and reformulating their strategy.

This researcher has reported that excellent

quality factor plays a key role over other factors viz. brand
name, price, celebrity marketing, brand
loyalty programme.
Besides this, cosmetic manufactures are required to
understand thoroughly the buying behaviour before
implementing any marketing strategy.

Concern for the environment and animal welfare is

an emerging ethical issue in
the developed nations such as the UK; however, it
was interesting to find out that
in a developing nation such as Bangladesh this
ethical issue is also considered very seriously in
the decision-making process of buying cosmetics.
This indicates that there is a value shift in
Bangladeshi culture, which is an important
message to producers and marketers of cosmetics
and toiletries in Bangladesh, or perhaps in the
developing nations of South Asia. This could be a
reflection of the way global communications are
reaching out to all countries and how the younger
population is absorbing global trends more quickly.

The present study is an example of how an explicit

modelling can lead to a better
understanding of the relationship between beauty
and usability, specifically, and the
study of product perception and evaluation in
general.

In conclusion, based on the results presented in

this paper, most of the multinational have
managed to be competitive on the Romanian
market.

Results showed that a combination of brand

personalities predict
a positive brand attitude in every consumer type
across all three cosmetic brands.
Interesting similarities, as well as differences, in
brand perceptions were found across consumer
types and brands.
This study shows that segmenting young females
into cosmetic involvement types can provide
useful tools for marketers to better understand the
dynamics of brand
perceptions in relation to consumer groups and
specifi c cosmetic brands.

By providing evidence that products in

advertisements, as opposed to nonadvertised
products, can affect whether and how consumers
think about themselves, the research findings add
a critical insight to our understanding of
advertising dynamics.
