Why is there a rise in the popularity of Thai makeup brands?

Following the global successes of Japanese and Korean beauty, Thai beauty is also on the rise and is working its way into the international market. The growing popularity of Thai celebrities like Bright and BamBam, and dramas like “2gether” and “Girl from Nowhere” are also helping to shift the spotlight as more people are gaining interest in Thai beauty. 

Other than traditional marketing efforts, the social media presence of Thai makeup brands is also increasing. The products started to gain more exposure when Singaporean influencers such as Daniel Chan (danialjchan) and Clara (clara.slays) reviewed them online. Widely known for their expertise in makeup and candid reviews, they have garnered 83.9k and 131.3k followers on TikTok respectively. With such attractive price tags and strong support from local beauty influencers, it is only a matter of time before people are persuaded to try out Thai cosmetic products. 

What are Thai makeup looks and how can we recreate them?

Thai beauty is all about the feminine glam, and elevating your features while doing so. Think feathery brows, smokey eyes, subtle cheek blushes and luscious lips. The most important thing to note is to ensure your skin is well-prepped and moisturised before applying anything. A glowy skin is the perfect canvas for any kind of makeup. 

For Thai makeup, the base has to be light and natural. Thus, tinted moisturisers and cushion foundations are a great choice as a base. That also has to do with Thailand’s hot and humid climate thus many would prefer keeping their base light to ensure breathability throughout the day. 

But more importantly, the defining feature of Thai makeup is the full, up-swept brows. Use a brow gel to neaten your brows if they’re already full. Let’s not forget how Thai makeup emphasises a lot on the eyes. For a truly captivating look, use softer tones like light brown for eyeshadow and a solid colour like black for the eyeliner. You can also add some gold shimmer to your eyelids for a more ethereal look. And remember the mascara to complete your eye makeup look!  To finish off, keep your lip colour light and complementary, so your eye makeup will remain the star – as it should be with Thai makeup!
