Much has modified since Amazon first forayed into prestige beauty in 2013 with its Luxury Beauty Store.
Between the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent increase in online shopping, to the rise of TikTok (and, pivotally, influencer Amazon storefronts), the e-tailer has managed to position itself as a key competitor within the masstige and prestige beauty spaces.
E-commerce solution provider Jungle Scout found that in 2022, beauty was among the many categories which experienced probably the most growth in Amazon sellers, and that makeup sales specifically grew 40 percent on the platform between 2021 and 2022.
While mass beauty brands indeed comprise much of Amazon’s beauty business, prestige and masstige brands have been increasingly flocking to the platform — which is commonly the primary destination for freshly influenced consumers trying to make the leap on a viral product. (Jungle Scout found Amazon searches for “TikTok prerequisites 2022” grew 688 percent from October through December of last 12 months, attributing the boost partly to holiday shopping).
“Lots of these Amazon trends might be tied right back to TikTok traffic,” said Hilary Smith, senior director of enterprise marketing at Jungle Scout. “It’s been interesting to see so many luxury brands, or those which you’d typically consider Sephora as your go-to place to search out, greatly expanding their foothold on Amazon.”
Sales of Glow Recipe, which also sells at Sephora, have seen a 155 percent year-over-year increase in unit sales on Amazon, while Caudalie — one other Sephora brand — saw a 61 percent year-over-year increase in unit sales on the platform in keeping with Jungle Scout.
