In the last few years, the wave of Chinese drama has swept the world, especially Ancient Chinese drama. The fantasy depictions from drama generally go beyond people's imaginations, featuring vivid colors, elaborate costumes, and fantastic makeup that leave viewers speechless.

Similar to J-Beauty or K-Beauty, Chinese cosmetics brands have a unique look and feel that is particularly appealing to new-age beauty consumers. For example, the makeup brand Florasis derives its aesthetics and storytelling from Chinese heritage. Its incredible packaging designs are a hit among Generation Z and millennial consumers.

Another reason is that C-beauty has gained prominence on social media, driven by the Douyin makeup trend on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Douyin makeup is a hit Chinese makeup style typically with shimmery eyeshadow, natural pink blush, and blurred lips. And the most essential beauty tip is flawless and glowing skin. The overall makeup goal is to achieve a gentle, innocent, and feminine appearance.
