Trend of Emphasizing Healthy Skin and Complexion Spreading on Chinese Social Media
Blurred Lines Between Makeup and Skincare, Highlighting Cushion and Base Products
Recently, the new standard of makeup on Chinese social media has become healthy skin, vibrant complexion, and subtle glow. Instead of covering skin imperfections with heavy layers, the 'rich chi and blood makeup' enhances facial vitality by highlighting the skin's natural texture, becoming a hot trend.
This trend has further blurred the lines between makeup and skincare. Base products are now expected to not only correct skin tone but also provide moisture, glow, and overall skin conditioning, making them essential in today's beauty regime.
The Beauty Portrayed by 'Chi and Blood Makeup'
Chinese consumers prioritize the natural health and vitality of the skin. Rather than achieving flawless skin, they aspire for a clear and transparent look where a healthy complexion subtly radiates as if nothing is applied.
The Evolving Role of Base Makeup
In line with this trend, cushion and glow base products are gaining significant attention. These products are now essentials that do more than correcting skin tone; they offer healthy glow, moisturizing effects, and help maintain comfortable skin condition throughout the day.

K-Beauty Seizes New Opportunities
Now is a prime opportunity for K-Beauty brands. As Chinese consumers value complexion and glow, it's time to actively enhance product lines such as dewy cushions, glow bases, and cream blushes. Precisely responding to market changes and securing competitiveness is the key to success.
Furthermore, developing hybrid products that combine the advantages of skincare and makeup is emerging as a vital strategy. Introducing products that provide moisture, radiance, and excellent adhesion from the base stage to meet diverse consumer needs is crucial.
Proposing a specialized line-up for the chi and blood mood combining vibrant coral or warm peach tone products with subtly shining highlighters can perfectly satisfy consumers desiring natural complexion and healthy glow.

Consumer-Selected 'Chi and Blood Makeup' Items
Navigating numerous social media consumer reviews clarifies their product preferences. Cushions that are thin yet adhere lightly to the skin, providing a healthy glow, are the top items. Coral tone blushers impart natural vitality to cheeks, and lip tints in peach or apricot hues express a soft red hue, completing a vibrant look.
For foundation, comfort and thin adherence are valued far more than coverage. And to maximize this healthy complexion and glow, a subtly shining cream highlighter is unanimously deemed the most effective trick.
Chi and Blood Makeup, a New Challenge for K-Beauty
The Chinese beauty market is rapidly evolving with the trend of emphasizing healthy skin expressions and natural complexions known as 'chi and blood makeup.' It's crucial for K-Beauty brands to accurately grasp these changing tides and secure new growth engines with innovative product development and strategic marketing that enhances glow and vitality from base to color products. We look forward to seeing what brilliant achievements K-Beauty will showcase in this market.
