When it comes on spending money on make-up, it seems that there is just no beating a British woman.
Analysts Mintel, in a new survey, have found that the annual amount of money spent by women in the UK on cosmetics such as lipstick, mascara andnail polishhas risen by 40 per cent in the past five years to more than 1 billion pounds.
As a part of the research, analysts surveyed 25,000 men and women in the UK and 10,000 in France, Germany and Spain in a bid to reveal attitudes to looks.
They found that while French women most wanted to stand out in a crowd thanks to their own "very good sense of style", British women, though spending more on cosmetics, didn't mind looking less distinctive, as long as they looked good.
"Even though British women are less interested in style and fashion, they retain a desire to look attractive and well-groomed," The Independent quoted Michelle Strutton, senior market analyst at Mintel, as saying.
The analysts also found that when it comes to their appearance, it's the Spaniards, more than women of any other country in Europe, who are concerned with their image.
The results of the research now has analysts predicting that British men and women will be opening up their wallets and spending 940 million pounds just onscentthis year.

如果要問誰最舍得在化妝品上花銀子，英國女人應該當之無愧。
英國明泰爾市場調查公司所做的一項最新調查發現，過去五年中，英國女性每年在口紅、睫毛膏、指甲油等化妝品上的消費增加了40％，達到10億多英鎊。
為了了解不同國家的人對于外表的態度，明泰爾調查公司的分析師們對英國的25000名男性和女性、以及法國、德國和西班牙的10000名男性和女性進行了調查。
調查發現，擁有很強“時尚感”的法國女性最渴望引人注目；而英國女性盡管在化妝品上投資不少，但她們覺得只要漂亮就行，不一定非得與眾不同。
《獨立報》援引明泰爾公司高級市場分析師米歇爾·斯特拉特恩的話說：“雖然英國女性對于時尚和時裝的興趣沒那么濃厚，但她們還是很想把自己打扮得美麗迷人。”
此外，調查發現，歐洲的西班牙女性最在意自己的外表。
根據調查結果，分析師們預測，今年英國人僅一項香水支出就將達到9.4億英鎊。
