Market Overview and Growth Drivers
Eye cosmetic packaging includes mascara tubes and wands, eyeliner pens and pots, eye shadow palettes and compacts, and brow and lash product containers. Packaging must protect formulas, deliver precise application and communicate brand quality on shelf and online.
