India Beauty Market Shift
India beauty market is undergoing one of its most dynamic transformations in over a decade. Global formats are moving from trend-led curiosity to everyday routines. Ingredient literacy has gone mainstream, and technology—from diagnostics to AI guidance—is reshaping how consumers discover, evaluate, and purchase products.
Consumers are blending K-Beauty layering, Japanese skin minimalism, derma-backed essentials, and creator-driven inspiration. The lines between global influence and local behaviour are becoming increasingly fluid.
Amazon’s Role in the Beauty Transformation
Marketplaces are evolving from simple distribution channels to cultural interpreters, helping customers navigate an expanding universe of products, claims, and routines. Amazon, leveraging scale and data-led insights, sits at the intersection of these shifts.
Amazon’s The Beauty Sale presented by Maybelline in collaboration with Vaseline (22nd–26th November 2025) brings top brands, new launches, derma-led essentials, luxury picks, and value offers up to 70% off. From K-Beauty and J-Beauty favourites to science-backed skincare and trending makeup, the sale reflects the current Indian consumer behaviour.

K-Beauty & J-Beauty Trends in India
Global beauty trends, including Japanese skincare routines and multi-step formats, are gaining traction among Indian consumers. K-Beauty shows strong growth, especially during festive periods, with products like centella-based moisturisers, snail mucin essences, and gentle exfoliators.
J-Beauty is strengthening due to its uncomplicated, ritual-based approach and lightweight, high-efficacy formulations. Products like Japanese sunscreens, ceramide-driven moisturisers, and functional haircare are becoming everyday staples rather than trial purchases.
Curating Global Brands on Amazon
Authenticity is key when onboarding international brands—Japanese, Korean, French, or American. Amazon works with authorised brand owners, certified distributors, and trusted import partners to ensure quality and compliance with Indian regulations.
Through destination storefronts like the Global Beauty Store and Derma Store, Amazon highlights verified labels along with accurate ingredient information and usage guidance, helping customers make confident purchases.
Importance of Product Education
Product education plays a central role in discovery. For K-Beauty and J-Beauty, contextual guidance, ingredient highlights, and creator-led videos simplify complex routines. Verified information and practical demonstrations empower consumers to integrate global products into daily skincare and makeup rituals.
Trending Makeup Categories
Trend-led curation is informed by customer data, creator content, and AI tools like SkinCare Advisor. This season, skin-first makeup is driving traction—lightweight bases, hydrating concealers, lip oils, gloss finishes, liquid blush, and long-wear eye products. Consumers are building complete regimens, starting with skincare and finishing with minimal, trend-aligned makeup.
AI and the Future of Beauty Shopping

AI is reshaping beauty shopping through generative features, virtual try-ons, routine recommendations, and summarised product insights. Amazon’s AI shopping assistant Rufus guides consumers with ingredient benefits, comparisons, and routine-building advice, providing instant expert support. AI continues to make beauty shopping easier, personalised, and trustworthy.
