👁‍🗨 Intro — In the Red Ocean, Why Is Eyeliner Still a High-Growth Category?

In today’s oversaturated global cosmetics market, nearly every product feels the same—price wars, hyper-speed launches, and similar packaging have created a fierce “Red Ocean” of competition. But even in this environment, eyeliner pencils are still experiencing steady breakout growth.

Why?
Because the demand for refined eye makeup never fades, and platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts are constantly fueling consumer interest. Hashtags like #eyelinetricks and #perfectwing have already surpassed 2 billion+ views, driving massive attention toward eyeliner products that deliver both performance and visual appeal.

In both online (Amazon, TikTok Shop) and offline markets (retail chains across Europe and Asia), eyeliners featuring smudge-proof, fast-drying, and high-precision tips are becoming the weapon of choice for beauty influencers and indie brands.

But here’s the real question:
In a market flooded with lookalike products, how do you truly stand out?
👉 The answer lies in a dual strategy: cutting-edge “tech formulas” + custom exterior design.

🧪 Part 2 — How "Tech Formulas + Custom Design" Build a Competitive Edge

✅ 1. Tech-Enhanced Formulas: Core Product Power

At GUER YOUNG, we’ve co-developed high-performance eyeliner formulas that deliver on what today’s consumers want most:

• Smudge-proof + waterproof film that sets in under 3 seconds

• Carbon-black pigment booster for high color payoff in one swipe

• Precision tips as fine as 0.1mm for ultra-thin control

• Vegan & cruelty-free formulas, compliant with EU/US regulations

These aren’t just buzzwords—they’re performance-driven specs that create a “try once, buy again” effect. When eyeliner stays perfect from morning to night, it becomes a core part of someone’s daily makeup routine—and that means repeat purchases.

🎨 2. Custom Design: Brand Identity at First Sight

In the content commerce era, packaging isn’t just aesthetic—it’s a scroll-stopper.

We offer end-to-end design customization options, including:

• Matte or glossy shells, mirror finishes, water-transfer textures

• Floating glitter or embossed decorative coatings

• Custom outer packaging & gift boxes

• Private-label or influencer-branded designs

Why is this important? Because custom designs help brands build instant recognition across social media, making it easier for creators and consumers to remember (and talk about) your product.
