Abstract	The beauty industry is a multi-billion-dollar market that continues to grow despite economic downturns. This paper explores key economic drivers, including the Lipstick Effect, the influence of social media and influencers, the rise of clean beauty, and the shift toward gender-neutral and male grooming products. Case studies on Kylie Cosmetics, Rare Beauty, and the UAE beauty market highlight how consumer spending is shaped by psychological and cultural trends. Findings suggest that beauty is recession-resistant, with strong reliance on digital marketing and evolving consumer preferences. The industry’s adaptability makes it a powerful economic force beyond aesthetics.
