What type of industry is the beauty industry?

The cosmetics industry describes the industry that manufactures and distributes cosmetic products. These include color cosmetics, such as foundation and mascara, skin care, such as moisturizers and cleansers, hair care, such as shampoos, conditioners and hair dyes, and toiletries, such as bubble baths and soap. While the inherent (and false) implication of the beauty industry is that it takes something more to be beautiful, women are arguably just as responsible for focusing on beauty.
