In the future, I can see many things changing. Like previously posted, I can defiantly see a rise on cosmetic surgeries, to make way for the look younger look. I can also see many once popular fads returning. Many of the 80's fashion's are already making a comeback. Although I never really understood the fashion's of the past, I can diffeinently see them coming back with even more popularity. The cosmetic's department will see a rise as more and more young girls/people are wearing make-up. Even some young boys wear make-up.
The future will hold many things for us. We will have to just wait and see what the future will bring us.
Leonard Lauder's famed Lipstick Index has been replaced with the foundation index. The concept remains the same: the cosmetics market will go through an economic recession because women consider cosmetics a necessity. The shift from Lipstick Index to Foundation Growth shows that our aging population is more concerned with skin tone over color cosmetics. This is a trend that will continue in the coming decades.

This older demographic segment will seek out our natural and clean-label products due to the increasing concern over "going green", using natural resources and the new regulations the EU has imposed on cosmetics.

By the year 2025, the number of people of middle age will be much higher then it is today. By the time the past two generations reach 60, the number of plastic surgeries will rise to make way for the "beauty within" look. This will also include indigestible nutraceuticals that women can eat to make themselves feel better about their looks
Many areas of the body can now be easily treated by laser such as: legs, arms, face, chin, back, upper lip, bikini line and armpits. In actuality, this can be accomplished on almost every part of your body.
With most procedures, a laser beam with a high-intensity light penetrates deep into the tissue and gives a controlled amount of heat that is both therapeutic and effective. What you can expect during the process is that you will first be given safety eyewear to protect your eyes from the light. When the procedure begins, the laser is applied to the skin by using a small handheld probe. In some cases, each pulse may first be preceded and then followed, by a short pulse of cooling spray. The treatments can last from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the procedure and the area being treated.
During the procedure, there is little pain; however, some have noted some discomfort from the pulse. To help minimize pain during the procedure, many doctors use a local anesthesia or a local anesthesia that also includes a sedative. The cooling spray that precedes and follows the treatment also helps to minimize pain. Once the surgery is finished, there is little pain.
Before undergoing the process, it is advised to have a consultation with your physician. Usually, there is no cost for this but when making the appointment, it is best to ask. Research has shown that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reveals that the average cost for ablative laser skin resurfacing is $2,128. For non-ablative resurfacing the average surgeon's fee is $1,359.
Effects from this process are usually mild but may include some swelling or redness which often disappears a day or two. The number of sessions usually depends on the kind of treatment the patient needs and requires, the area being treated and the condition of the patient's skin. In most cases 4-6 treatments are needed. These amounts of sittings are needed because the process is only effective when the hair follicle is growing.
To prepare for this process, patients are advised to not wax their hair and to avoid electrolysis for about six weeks before the treatment. (Patients with herpes also need to talk with their doctor before treatment.) And, before the procedure, the patient's hair should be shaved and the skin cleaned and dried-being sure to remove all makeup, oil or creams from all surfaces.
It is important to note that once the process is complete the patient should take good care to avoid sun exposure and should always put on sun block (SPF 30 or above.) And, the patient is also instructed to not rinse or scrub the areas with abrasive skin cleaners on the areas that were treated. Days later, most patients say they are happy with the results and continue their normal daily routine.
Airbrush makeup is not yet a household term, but it will be soon. Invented in the 1980s, it involves using an airbrush to apply makeup on the skin. The brush is powered by a small compressor, which pumps air through a small pipe with liquid makeup in it. This makeup is then evenly distributed by a trained beautician.
Although it seems like a lot of work for some makeup, it is completely worth it. Airbrush makeup has a number of advantages over regular makeup. Most importantly, it does not crack or show creases and is more resistant to movement and heat. In the digital age that we live in now, it has become increasingly popular as it is used by TV studios so that their presenters do not show up too harshly on High Definition TV sets.
Airbrush makeup sadly has a long way to go before it comes to our bedrooms but it is definitely heading that way. More and more kits are now available to do airbrush makeup in your own home, and more and more people are enrolling in courses to learn how to do the art across the world. To get good results requires quite a significant amount of training and this is putting many people off trying it.
To this date, the biggest problem with compressors and airbrushes is the price tag. These kits cost a lot of money and so it is very important to get the right one.
In conclusion, we had all better be prepared to hear more about this beauty product. As it starts to take off in the United States, many other countries will follow suit. Get yourself trained and ready now before the rush.
Aging Skin presents leading-edge strategies to treat problems of aging skin. Current concepts are presented, along with fundamental research detailing the biochemical mechanisms underlying photodamage—the hallmark of aging skin. Based on the premise that aging and senescence occur due to a deterioration of cutaneous repair systems, topics covered include:
Novel approaches using growth factors that regulate fi brosis to facilitate “cutaneous wound repair” while preventing “solar scar”
Role of matrix metalloproteinases in the repair of photodamage
Role of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in response to photodamage and strategies to regulate these processes
DNA repair and oxidative stress-resistant systems that aid in combating aging skin
Hormonal infl uences on skin aging, benefi t of hormone replacement therapy and role of nutrition
Nonenzymatic glycation of matrix proteins due to oxidative stress-altering functionality and strategies to block such untoward reactions
Success of current treatments—retinoic acid, dermabrasion, Botox, peels and fi llers
Design of the “optimal sunscreen” for prevention of photodamage
New skin-whitening strategies to reduce age spots by influencing melanogenesis

Nanotechnologies are already in use in the cosmetics industry. Nonetheless, nanotechnology will become the next new thing in beauty products and skincare. So says Adnan Nasir, MD, PhD, clinical assistant professor in the department of dermatology at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, who recently gave a talk at the 68th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology about the capacity of nanotech to improve cosmetic products in the future.
From an American Academy of Dermatology:
Dr. Nasir explained that when certain ingredients are included in micrometer-sized particles, which are considerably larger than nanosized particles, the result is a product than can be cosmetically unappealing.
For example, one common ingredient in broad-spectrum sunscreens, which protect the skin from both UVA and UVB rays, is avobenzone, which can make a sunscreen greasy and very noticeable when applied to the skin. Since titanium, another common sunscreen ingredient, requires an oily mixture to dissolve, a white residue can be apparent on the skin upon application. However, when these active ingredients in sunscreens are converted into nanoparticles, they can be suspended in less greasy formulations – which seem to vanish on the skin and do not leave a residue – while retaining their ability to block UVA and UVB light.
“While widespread use of this technology is currently under evaluation, I think one of the main benefits of nanoparticles used in sunscreens will be that the particles can fit into all the nooks and crannies of the skin, packing more protection and more even coverage on the skin’s surface than microsized particles,” said Dr. Nasir. “Since sunscreen formulations using nanoparticles may be more cosmetically appealing and seem to vanish when applied, consumers may be more inclined to use them on a regular basis.”
Nanotechnology also is generating excitement for its potential use in anti-aging products. When properly engineered, nanomaterials may be able to topically deliver retinoids, antioxidants and drugs such as botulinum toxin or growth factors for rejuvenation of the skin in the future.
In anti-aging products, Dr. Nasir added that nanotechnology may allow active ingredients that would not normally penetrate the skin to be delivered to it. For example, vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps fight age-related skin damage which works best below the top layer of skin. In bulk form, vitamin C is not very stable and is difficult to penetrate the skin. However, in future formulations, nanotechnology may increase the stability of vitamin C and enhance its ability to penetrate the skin.

Makeup companies are constantly coming up with new and better ways to apply makeup. Just lipstick alone has gone from lasting 4 hours to staying on for 16 hours. In the future, we will be able to buy lipstick that will last 24 hours. The key at that point will be how do we get the makeup off?
Makeup is not only used for beauty, it is used for costumes, theatrics, and several other employment opportunities. In the future, the main goal is to produce makeup that will last long. The longer it lasts, the more convenient it will be for everyone.
Makeup for many is an art. We take an average person and make them look completely different, whether it is enhancing their beauty or turning them into a clown for a show. I believe the future will have much to offer to be more beneficial for us the consumers.

The lucrative 'baby boomer' generation could be becoming less valuable for the cosmetics industry as the younger demographics overtake, according to a new report on the future of the cosmetics industry in the UK.
Market research analyst Key Note Publications states that younger females are most likely to use cosmetics. They constitute a significant part of the 89.7 per cent of women who use fragrances and 80.4 per cent who use lipsticks in the UK.
However, despite the report stating that the older demographic is a main driver of the premium cosmetics market (due to its increased disposable income), they do not use cosmetics as frequently as the younger generation.
According to market research company Euromonitor, this group spends an estimated $238,000bn a year on consumer products, including cosmetics and personal care. Many companies now create premium ranges in smaller, more affordable sizes for this growing consumer segment.
Heavily influenced by the celebrity culture, premium products such as Britney Spears fragrance lines and fashion label products such as Ralph Lauren Polo fragrance are key drivers for the younger consumer.
Diana Dodson, market analyst for Euromonitor told CosmeticsDesign-Europe that, "There is a definite increase in products designed primarily for this market. Premium products across all sectors, fragrance, skin care and colour cosmetics, are becoming more and more desirable for the young age group as many are endorsed by celebrities or fashion labels".
Alongside the younger consumer, the report states that growing minority groups are becoming a large focus of the cosmetics industry. Ethnic populations are expanding and cosmetic manufacturers are increasingly developing more ranges to suit the more specific needs of this demographic.
Companies such as Unilever, L'Oreal and Avon are all competing to meet this growing trend, creating skin care and colour cosmetics ranges that cater for different skin colours and textures.
According to the report, these factors combined have helped increase UK retail sales of cosmetics and fragrances by 5.1 per cent between 2005 and 2006.
However, there was a noted downturn in the sale of decorative cosmetics overall excluding face make-up - which posted an increase in sales.
With the future right around the corner, many might wonder what the future of cosmetics may hold? Some may think that it is the year 2010, we have thought of it all by now. But this is not true.
After doing some research, I have found a product called Micro-Segmentation. So what exactly is Micro-Segmentation? Well it is a cosmetic product that can serve more than one purpose. So far, the first industry to use this concept is the hair care industry. If you think about it, there are some hair care products that can serve more than one purpose in today's market. Such as the combination of shampoo and conditioner.
We well see many advances in cosmetics in the future, and this is just the beginning
As of now, when you have your lips done, you have to go back periodically to get it done again. In the future, you will be able to do this one time and be done with it.
The future brings nothing but advancements in technology and art. It is not painless to be beautiful. Women will go at great lengths to look good, they already do.
In the future, makeup will not need to be used as much. With technological advances, makeup will not need to be worn. Today, there are people standing around touching up actors and actresses makeup in between shots. In the future this will be eliminated due to high computer graphics.
The film makers will be able to take the video footage and add more makeup where they wish. This will effect the characters that require a lot of makeup such as the blue character from The Xmen. It will be much more convenient for everyone involved. Applying makeup all over your body, is time consuming for the people applying and the actress who it is being applied to. It can take hours to apply makeup now.
This advance in technology will also have a negative impact on society, once again the loss of more jobs due to the computer programs.
At night, women can apply anti-aging lotions and serums that our mothers never dreamed of: wrinkle fillers, pore minimizers, special neck creams and eye creams. Some of these products are amazing, and used daily over a few weeks can make a noticeable difference.
products for anti aging:
Anti aging collagen drink – sip your way younger
What starts in Japanese labs often becomes mainstream in Europe and America in no time at all – or at least in the time it takes to get approval from the authorities that count – like the FDA.
For some time now Japanese women concerned about skin aging have been able to buy anti aging food products – collagen marshmallows for instance – that aren’t available from US manufacturers.
Dysport – a real botox alternative
Dysport is the trade name for abobotulinumtoxinA – a neuromuscular blocking agent just like botox and developed from the same base – botulinum toxin. Both botox and Dysport work in the same way to relax the facial muscles that cause wrinkles.
"No need for plastic surgery, ladies. This is the 21st century - and we've got the makeup to prove it."
there is advances in mineral make up. Made of earth elements, like titanium dioxide (a mineral which is used in cosmetics as both a pigment and a thickener), iron oxide (a mineral which can also be used as a pigment), and bismuth oxychloride (an element which helps the makeup stick to the face, and also gives off a sheen, which some women like).
then there is the foundation... the foundation primer. State of the art gels, liquids, and light silicone-like formulas are applied on the face before makeup. They actually fill in tiny lines and pores, so that when the foundation is applied, it goes on smoothly.
another of the innovative ideas of make up is heavy-duty concealer. Yes, there have always been concealers, but today's products are not drying and obvious-looking. Not only have the colors become more varied, but there are hundreds of colors available.And despite being "heavy duty," most are now light-weight and blend easily.
Want plump lips? No need for surgery - topical lip plumpers are available everywhere. Some work with ingredients that irritate or sting the lips, making them plump up. Others work painlessly using ingredients like collagen peptides (which give a moisturizing effect) and Hyaluronic acid (a lubricant made in the body).
