Cosmetics sales channels in East and Southeast Asia are gradually shifting from offline to online, as customers become accustomed to buying makeup and skin care products with the click of a button. This is creating opportunities for China’s cross-border e-commerce businesses.
东亚和东南亚的化妆品销售渠道正逐渐从线下转向线上，因为客户已经习惯于点击按钮购买化妆品和护肤品。这为中国的跨境电子商务企业创造了机会。
The growing online market coupled with offshore e-commerce paved the way for domestic beauty brands to set up flagship stores on major offshore platforms, including Florasis, Perfect Diary, Into You, Flower Knows, Focallure, and Colorkey. Some brands have even taken the opportunity to open brick-and-mortar stores or connect directly with local retailers, such as in Japan.

However, on AliExpress, the best-selling mascara costs $1 and is made by O.Two.O, a cosmetics brand based in Guangzhou, capital of China’s southern Guangdong province.
