Beauty dominated TikTok Shop’s Cyber Week performance, driven by K-beauty surges, creator-led selling, and QVC’s nonstop livestream strategy. Here's what you need to know...
Charm data shows that beauty sales on TikTok Shop surpassed $109 million during the five-day Black Friday event, accounting for more than 20% of the platform’s $500 million total and growing 55% year over year from just over $70 million in 2024.
Medicube led Cyber Week with $6.8 million in sales, more than double any other beauty brand; its Glass Glow Skin Care Set, priced under $100 for eight products, was the top seller, and the brand also captured 16.4% of Amazon’s beauty sales during its own Black Friday event.
K-beauty brands Dr. Melaxin ($3.1 million) and Skin1004 ($1.2 million), both recently picked up by Ulta Beauty after viral TikTok success, ranked in the top 10, reinforcing K-beauty’s dominance across social commerce.
Tarte Cosmetics generated $2 million through its TikTok Shop storefront and also sold through QVC’s store, which ranked number 10 and featured other top sellers like Elemis, Philosophy, and Lawless; QVC’s 24/7 live shopping streams elevated its position as a leading retailer on the platform.
Black women-founded brands Bask & Lather Co. ($1.4 million) and Canvas Beauty ($1.1 million) were also top performers.
