She tells us about what makes this line of specialization exciting, fun, and interesting; what kind of opportunities are out there for aspiring beauty and cosmetic linguists; and the importance of understanding the nitty gritty of different terms in the business and what they mean in various markets.   The beauty and cosmetic industry was estimated to be worth $49.7 billion in 2022, and shows no signs of slowing down. With such impressive growth, there continues to be a need for high-quality translation and localization in this sector.
