C-beauty brands refer to locally-born Chinese beauty brands that have significantly impacted China's beauty and personal care market since 2017. These brands have shown impressive growth, particularly in skincare and color cosmetics, sectors previously dominated by international competitors. Their success reflects a rising preference for domestically produced beauty products within China.
Popular C-Beauty Brands and Products:
Several C-beauty brands have achieved notable popularity and recognition both within China and internationally. Examples include:
- Judydoll and U Kiss: Known for high-quality eyeliners, brow products, mascara, blush, and highlighter.
- Florasis: A brand famed for its exquisite packaging and makeup, even claiming to be "the world's most beautiful makeup."
- Joocyee: Praised for its comfortable lipsticks, such as the Glazed Rouge and Glossy Rouge Mirror lines.

- Winona: A popular choice for sensitive skin, particularly known for its Anti-Sensitive Moisturizing Tolerance-Extreme Cream.
Global Expansion and Market Dynamics:
C-beauty brands aren't limiting themselves to the Chinese market. Many actively pursue global expansion, facing stiff competition within China but also seeking opportunities abroad. This expansion is driven by both the brands' increasing international recognition and the growing global interest in Asian beauty trends. Furthermore, major international beauty companies have taken notice, with some investing in or collaborating with successful C-beauty brands.
Trust and Quality:
The rise of C-beauty has led to questions about brand trustworthiness. While individual experiences vary, many users report positive experiences with several prominent brands. However, thorough research and reviews remain crucial before purchasing any beauty product.
