No.98 Beauty

No.98 Beauty is a direct-to-consumer, online-only label that concentrates on complexion and color cosmetics. Core SKUs include weightless foundations, multi-use lip-and-cheek stains, loose mineral veils, and a tightly edited range of vegan brushes and tools. Everything sits in the mid-range tier: most items retail between $22 and $38, with occasional limited-edition drops climbing to $48. The brand’s positioning hinges on “clean glamour”—EU-compliant formulas that exclude 1,400+ controversial ingredients yet still deliver pro-level pigment and photo-friendly finishes. Their hero product, Filter-Fix Soft-Focus Foundation, went viral on TikTok for flash-proof coverage that feels like “nothing on skin,” while the Cloudset Translucent Powder is routinely back-ordered within hours of restock. Refillable componentry and carbon-neutral shipping reinforce the eco-luxury ethos. Customers are 18-35-year-old content creators, beauty students, and early-career professionals who want camera-ready results without prestige mark-ups. They value ingredient transparency, cruelty-free certification, and minimalist packaging that photographs well on social feeds. The brand speaks in a frank, tutorial-heavy voice that treats makeup as creative utility rather than ritual. No.98 Beauty competes in the crowded “cleanical” space occupied by indie color brands that straddle Sephora’s “Clean + Planet Positive” wall and TikTok shops. It differentiates through shade-range discipline (only 16 flexible SKUs that self-adjust), rapid small-batch production cycles that respond to trend data within six weeks, and a strict DTC model that keeps per-gram pricing 20-30 % below comparable clean formulas sold via wholesale.

Pureluxebeautyco

Pureluxebeautyco sells color cosmetics, skin prep and complexion products priced USD 18-42, placing the line in the accessible-to-mid range. SKUs are grouped into complexion (liquid and cream foundations, concealers, primers), color (lip creams, glosses, liners, eyeshadow palettes) and tools (brushes, sponges). Distribution is DTC only through the brand’s own site; no third-party e-tailers or brick-and-mortar stockists are listed. The brand positions itself as clean, vegan and cruelty-free, formulating without parabens, talc or synthetic fragrance and highlighting U.S. FDA and EU compliance. Its hero franchise is the SilkLuxe Foundation, offered in 40 shades with neutral, olive and deep undertones that the site flags as “missing shades” in many lines. Limited-edition drops and small-batch restocks are promoted via Instagram Lives and 24-hour countdown stories to create scarcity. Core buyers are 18-35-year-old makeup enthusiasts who follow indie beauty on TikTok and Instagram, value ingredient safety and want Sephora-level shade depth without the prestige price. They typically post first-impression reviews, tag the brand for reposts and participate in shade-matching threads, reinforcing a community-driven, “for us, by us” identity. Pureluxebeautyco competes with other digital-native, clean-ingredient makeup labels that price between drugstore and prestige. It differentiates through inclusive shade architecture for olive and deep skin, transparent ingredient decks, and tight inventory drops that generate word-of-mouth momentum without paid celebrity campaigns.

Dominioncosmetics

Dominioncosmetics.com is a direct-to-consumer, mid-price color-cosmetics line that sells exclusively online. The catalog is built around complexion (liquid foundation, concealer, loose powder) and eye products (pigment palettes, waterproof liners, fiber mascara), with most SKUs priced USD 14-28 and periodic bundle discounts of 20-30 %. No brick-and-mortar stockists are listed; fulfillment ships from a U.S. warehouse to North America, the EU and Australia. The brand markets itself as “high-pigment, pro-performance, made for melanin-rich skin first,” releasing base shades that start at deep espresso and scale up to alabaster rather than the industry norm of light-to-medium. Its best-known franchise is the Dominion 24-Hour Flawless Foundation, which went viral on TikTok for not oxidizing on oily deep complexions, and the accompanying Color-Map system that lets shoppers upload a selfie for algorithmic shade matching. Core buyers are 18-35-year-old makeup enthusiasts who identify as Black, Latina, South-Asian or mixed race and want prestige-level payoff without the USD 40+ price tag. They value inclusive shade logic, cruelty-free vegan formulas and a brand voice that spotlights dark-skin swatches on every product page. Dominion competes in the crowded “affordable pro” segment against indie labels that also sell online and use social proof. It differentiates by engineering pigment loads for deeper skin tones first, offering live-chat makeup artists trained in deep complexion undertones, and shipping all orders within 48 hours from domestic stock—speed and shade accuracy its closest rivals often lack.

Kaimacosmetics

Kaimacosmetics is a direct-to-consumer, mid-priced color-cosmetics line sold exclusively through kaimacosmetics.com. The catalog centers on complexion (liquid foundation, loose powder, primer) and eye products (pigment palettes, felt-tip liners, faux-mink lashes), with most SKUs priced USD 14-28. Bundled “face sets” and refill bundles sit at the upper end of the range, while single mini liners start at $12. The brand leads with pro-level pigment loads marketed as “camera-ready” yet safe for sensitive skin; every formula is advertised vegan, talc-free, and EU-compliant. Its best-known franchise is the 18-shade HD Foundation range that launched with 6 undertone families and a corresponding color-match quiz, followed by the six-pan “Artist Shadow Palettes” that routinely sell out within 48 h of restock. Core buyers are 18-34-year-old content creators, freelance makeup artists, and students who want prestige performance without the 40-50% retail markup. Sustainability cues—recyclable PET jars, carbon-neutral shipping, and cruelty-free certification—align with Gen-Z ethical expectations and feed user-generated unboxing posts on TikTok and Instagram Reels. Kaimacosmetics competes in the crowded “Instagram-born” color-cosmetics space against brands that rely on heavy influencer seeding and frequent launches. It differentiates by limiting SKUs to hero products, offering periodic “restock-only” drops that drive wait-lists, and keeping price per gram 20-30% lower than prestige analogs while publishing full ingredient decks and third-party safety reports for every batch.

Piyabeauty

Piyabeauty.com is a direct-to-consumer, mid-priced color-cosmetics and skin-care label that sells exclusively online. The catalog centers on multi-use complexion sticks, pigment stacks, and refillable lip products priced US $12-28, plus a small line of prep-and-set skin care (cleansing pads, priming mist, balm) at $10-18. All SKUs are vegan, cruelty-free, and shipped globally from U.S. fulfillment centers. The brand’s signature is “stackable color”: magnetized pans that click into slim, reusable compacts, letting buyers build custom palettes without buying new packaging. Every product page lists full ingredient percentages and includes shade-swap videos shot on three skin tones, a transparency tactic rare in the indie space. Limited-edition drops sell out within 48 hours and are never restocked, driving repeat traffic. Core shoppers are 18-34-year-old makeup enthusiasts who post tutorials on TikTok/Instagram and value waste reduction; 70% of site traffic comes from mobile social links. They buy to participate in collectible drops, show depotting ASMR, and support a self-declared “beauty-minus-waste” ethos that rewards returning empties with $5 store credit. Piyabeauty competes with fast-fashion color brands and eco-indie labels by combining trend-driven pigments with modular, low-waste packaging—most rivals offer either trend or sustainability, not both. Its zero-inventory model (small-batch pre-orders produced in 3 weeks) keeps cash flow tight and allows near-instant reaction to viral shade requests, a speed legacy brands cannot match without risking overstock.

Confidentbeaute

Confidentbeaute.com is a digital-only beauty boutique that concentrates on color cosmetics, skin prep and body glow essentials. Most SKUs sit in the $12-$28 band, placing the line squarely in mid-range territory between drugstore and prestige. Everything is sold exclusively through the brand’s own site, with periodic drops promoted on Instagram and TikTok Shop. The label leads with “confidence-boosting” formulas: full-coverage complexion sticks that double as shapewear for the face, collagen-infused lip oils that plump without sting, and water-resistant body glitters designed for deeper skin tones. Each launch is released in small, numbered batches that sell out within hours, creating a collectibles culture around products like the #11 FlawFix Concealer and the GlowBoss Bronze Balm. Core shoppers are 18-34-year-old women who identify as beauty enthusiasts but feel overlooked by mainstream shade ranges and airbrushed messaging. They value inclusive shade depth, unretouched campaign imagery and products that perform on camera for content creation, workdays and nightlife without needing touch-up tools. Confidentbeaute competes in the crowded “Instagram-born” color-cosmetics space populated by trend-driven, direct-to-consumer players. It differentiates through mid-range pricing that undercuts prestige labels, a deliberate focus on medium-to-deep complexion products, and scarcity drops that turn shoppers into community insiders who hype the next restock.

Fleuri Beauty

Fleuri Beauty operates as a digital-first, mid-range color-cosmetics label selling primarily through its own Shopify site. The catalog is built around multi-use “lip & cheek” duos, cream-based eye tints, complexion sticks and refillable bamboo compacts, with individual items priced USD 18-34 and bundle sets topping out at USD 65. All launches drop online only; limited-batch stockists appear seasonally in two clean-beauty concept stores in California. The brand’s hook is “makeup that doubles as skin care”: every formula is EU-clean compliant, infused with 1% bakuchiol and upcycled fruit-seed oils, and shipped carbon-neutral in molded-pulp clamshells. Its best-known SKU, the Sunrise Lip & Cheek Tint, went viral on TikTok in 2022 for its adjustable pigment and biodegradable refill pod, selling 80k units in six months. Core buyers are 18-34-year-old women who identify as “skinimalists,” track ingredient INCI lists, and post no-filter selfies. They value cruelty-free certification, traceable supply chains, and portable packaging that survives a backpack or gym bag; Fleuri’s neutral shade range and vegan credentials align with flexitarian, low-waste lifestyles. Fleuri competes in the crowded “clean-girl” color-cosmetics space against larger indie labels and heritage brands launching eco sub-lines. It differentiates by keeping SKUs under 20, offering free recycling return labels, and dropping new colors no more than twice a year—scarcity that sustains margin and cultivates a micro-community wait-list model rather than wholesale saturation.

Cheriglowcosmetics

Cheriglowcosmetics is a mid-range, e-commerce-only beauty label that focuses on complexion and color cosmetics. Core SKUs include liquid matte lipsticks, high-pigment glosses, cushion foundations, loose setting powders and a small line of vegan eye-shadow palettes; most items retail between USD 14 and 28. All launches drop first on the brand’s own site, with periodic restocks sold through Instagram DM flash sales and an in-site “Glow Lounge” membership portal. The brand positions itself around “clean glow”—every formula is talc-free, paraben-free and packaged in recyclable PET with soy-based ink. Its standout franchise is the GlowFix Cushion Foundation, noted for 40 inclusive shades and a demi-matte finish aimed at humid climates; limited-edition lip kits themed around Southeast-Asian fruits regularly sell out within hours. Cheriglow also publishes full INCI lists and third-party heavy-metal test reports for each batch, a transparency practice still uncommon among direct-to-consumer color-cosmetic labels. Primary buyers are 18-30-year-old women in urban Philippines, Malaysia and the U.S. diaspora who want trend-driven color without import mark-ups; many post “dupes” content comparing Cheriglow to luxury products. The brand’s TikTok-first storytelling emphasizes sun-safe, sweat-proof glam, aligning with customers who value affordability, halal-friendly certification and representation of deeper Southeast-Asian skin tones. Cheriglow competes in the crowded Instagram-born color-cosmetic space populated by fast-fashion beauty and K-beauty e-tailers. It differentiates through region-specific shade calibration, halal certification, batch-level safety data and a 72-hour warehouse-to-door delivery promise across Southeast Asia—logistics and compliance benchmarks few peer brands match at the same price point.
