H&M comes in a close second, with six, while other well-known brands such as Zara, Nike, and Adidas also make a list in varying numbers.
Europe can’t get enough of Maybelline
With the social media love of nine nations, Maybelline steals the first spot from the rest of the competition. Much like Apple’s tech dominance, other popular beauty brands don’t come close to Maybelline; L’OREAL Paris and Mac are the following most popular brands, with four countries apiece, while the remaining nations all find a range of brands as their desired option.
