NEW YORK, Dec 22 ― The beauty business is booming, and some of the biggest fashion labels in the industry hopped on the bandwagon this year, with the launch of in-house cosmetics lines. We take stock of five of the biggest.

Zara

Spanish fashion stalwart Zara stepped into the beauty arena this month with the launch of a 20-piece lipstick collection in the UK. The series included 12 lipsticks and eight liquid lipsticks, with shades ranging from plums and pinks to deep reds and offering a velvety, matte finish.

British fashion chain Topshop brought back its ‘Topshop Beauty' brand this fall, to the delight of fans. The new-and-improved line hit the shelves in November, offering eyeshadows, lip products, eyeliners, primers, blushes, bronzers, brushes and much more.
