The year-end report is out - and topping the list of the top beauty trends of 2015 are nail art, braids, strobing and contouring, according to the Lipstick Index.
These trends aren't a surprise - NPD's Karen Grant recently reported, for our Expert's Opinion column, that contouring and strobing are two makeup trends that are redefining the industry and generating millions in makeup sales.
See the complete list of Top 15 Trends at the Huffington Post.
What is the Lipstick Index?
If you haven't heard of the Lipstick Index - or need a reminder - Glamour magazine launched the trend-tracking tool earlier this year. But it was Leonard Lauder who first coined the term in 2000, explaining how lipstick sales figures relate to the state of the economy.
Packaging Trends
Contouring and strobing only work with foundation makeup - and we have seen more diverse options in packaging for foundation in 2015, and the Cushion Compact trend.
