Anastasia Beverly Hills was close behind welcoming 279,540 followers to the fold this year to make 17.9 million. Sephora added 232,920 fans for 15.3 million to rank fifth.

In positions six to 10, Dior Make-up gained just under 200,000 for 3.8 million, Maybelline swelled its audience by 173.460 to 7.5 million and Chanel caught the attention of 172,050 with its newly launched Chanel Beauty site which sent it above the million mark.
