RESTRAINING FACTOR

One of the key restraining factors in the Makeup Brush And Tool Market is the high price of premium and technologically advanced products. After all, innovation, sustainability, and growth come at a price; high-quality and technologically advanced eco-friendly and smart beauty tools are very expensive, which becomes a plus for a few budget-conscious buyers. Thus, budgetary constraints and the value-for-money perception can be the main issues that restrain the mass market.
