A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 50.5% of Australian women aged +14 bought cosmetics in an average six months in the year to December 2016, compared with 51.5% in the year to December 2006. The proportion of women who bought cosmetics from pharmacies has risen from 15.1% to 19.1 per cent, and the proportion that shops at supermarkets for cosmetics has risen from 11.4% to 12.1%. Meanwhile, Priceline is the most popular pharmacy chain among cosmetics buyers, and Roy Morgan’s Helix Personas consumer profiling tool shows that young women from the cashed-up, socially active Metrotech community are the most likely to buy cosmetics from this chain.
