In the ever-changing world, an innovative firm can potentially disrupt an entire industry by successfully enticing consumers. This insight emphasises the growing need for businesses to sharpen their innovative skills. Innovation is a dynamic and iterative process that includes more than just the invention of a new idea; it also includes its implementation and the cultivation of a demand market. This study addresses a fundamental question in the Marketing 4.0 landscape: Can businesses use technologies to spur innovation and shift markets? Can innovation in technology serve as a catalyst for not only market penetration but also for the customisation of products and services to meet the expanding requirements and wishes of a discerning consumer base? This study will investigate the research imperatives and potential benefits of cosmetics. It investigates current innovation, marketing 4.0 and entrepreneurship theories, with a focus on customer behaviour. This chapter used a mixed methodology, with the qualitative section focusing on three managers in the cosmetics sector and the quantitative part statistically testing and analysing the answers of 142 respondents. This study's findings imply that innovative technology used in the design and distribution of customised cosmetic products has a beneficial impact on customer purchasing behaviour.
