Russians rate premium foreign brands higher, but more often buy more budget-friendly products.
According to the Rate&Goods analysis, Russians buy mostly budget brands like Nivea, Chistaya Liniya and Splat. It was in this position that these three brands shared the top three places in terms of sales of cosmetic products. However, if judged from the point of view of consumer assessment, then there is a completely different picture here - Russians prefer foreign premium brands of cosmetics.

Based on the data obtained, 30 brands were selected, of which only 8 are Russian - these are Hundred Recipes for Beauty, Pure Line, Black Pearl, Estel Natura Siberica, Organic Shop, Planeta Organica and Splat.
The top three brands with the highest consumer ratings are Dior (28th in terms of sales), Chanel (29th) and Lacoste (30th). That is, in terms of sales, these brands were in the last places, despite the high interest from buyers.
