Where to buy Korean Skincare and Makeup Products In India: Genuine Websites and Instagram Sellers

Thank you for your immense love on my last post about Korean Skincare. I got so many messages and comments on posts on social media accounts. I was overwhelmed to see my readers coming up with more tips and tricks and solutions on the problems I am facing. If you still haven’t read it, you can click HERE to go through the detailed post. Amongst those comments, I found two which read, “Where can I find authentic Korean Beauty and Skincare Products in India?”

2 years back even I asked Beauty Gurus the same question. Being a K-Beauty lover and staying in a country where Korean products are not locally available is disheartening. But worry no more. In an endeavor to help you through this, today, we’ll be listing genuine websites and Instagram stores from whom you can shop K-beauty Skincare and Beauty products. The products available on these websites and pages are 100% genuine. The people associated with these sites work directly with brands and with their authorized distributors only. They strive day and night to make Korean cosmetic more accessible to us Indians.

Happy Shopping …

NYKAA:
This e-commerce site needs no introduction. Keeping at par with Korean Skincare rage, Nykaa too launched Korean skincare and beauty products to meet our ever increasing demands and needs. From Klairs, Etude House and Laneige to Innisfree, Tony Moly and The Face Shop, Nykaa has been surprising us with back to back new launches. Best part is, the deals. They have on and off offers and discounts on the products, throughout the year. So grab them before they are gone.

Beauty Barn India:
It is one of the most popular websites from where you can buy genuine Korean skin and beauty care products. Starting from February 2017, they became “internet sensation” overnight. They introduced a surprise sale which helped them gather huge fame, popularity and a dedicated customer base. They have products from famous Korean Skin Care brands; By Wishtrend, Banila Co, Cosrx, Etude House, Klairs, Missha, Neogen, Nature Republic, Skinfood  Tony Moly, Laneige just to name a few. Their products are 100% authentic and I find them pretty reasonable too. I have personally shopped from them quite a few times and would definitely recommend this website to others. A flat Rs.50 charge is applied to all orders below Rs.2500, which again is reasonable; above that shipping is absolutely free. They ship India wide to almost every pin code. They also have physical stores in Aizawl, Dimapur, Mokokchung and Kohima. So don’t forget to pay a visit once you are in Mizoram or Nagaland.

Coral Beauty:
Established in July 2016, they are amongst the first websites to bring Korean Beauty products to India. They stock the best from Korean Beauty brands. Ranging from absolute budget-friendly products to high ends, they have something for all. The team do thorough researches and try-test the products personally before listing them on the website. In addition to K-beauty, they also stock cult favorite products from the famous Canadian brand- the Ordinary and famed Japanese brand Hada Labo. They stock up their sleeves with products picked up directly from Korea.

Skinmore:
Based in Mumbai, they bring you the absolute latest from the K-beauty world. They know how Indian skin differs from that of Koreans, hence they do a rigorous research and curate products that suit Indian skin perfectly and will bring out the best in you. They also have blog posts which will make you understand K-beauty better.
I bumped upon this website when I was searching for a Sulwhasoo product online few months back. No websites had that particular product other than them. Even few days back, I was looking for a Skinfood scrub. Scoured hundreds of websites only to find it here. They also have travel sized and samples so that you can use the smaller sizes and see if they suit you or not.

Daisy Skin Fix:
Run by avid skincare enthusiasts from India, Daisy Skin Fix gets your Korean Beauty fix by not only bringing you the best of Korean beauty and skin care products, but also by guiding you through the entire Korean Skincare Regime through incredibly written blog posts. They also keep you updated with trends and provide tips and tricks which will help you achieve your skin goals. They have a vast range of products from different Korean brands. Shipping is free on all orders! I have shopped from them twice and experiences have been good.

Grace and Chloe:
The mother daughter team strives to discover the best of Korean skincare and beauty trends. They thoroughly research to find everything latest from the Korean Beauty World and then bring them to us in India. They are constantly updating their lines so you get freshly manufactured and “in-trend” products. Beside the website they also take orders on Instagram. I personally hasn’t shopped from them yet, but I know people who have and all of them have only good things to say.

The Korean Shop:
Run by Delhi based Brics India Trade Pvt. Ltd, the website was launched as a one stop destination for Korean food products. People loved the concept and it soon turned out to be a huge success. They noticed the increase in demand of K-beauty products in India and hence launched a range of products to suit our need. They act as a local agent of various Korean companies and also provide handling services, so if you want any particular thing from Korea or you are someone staying in Korea and want something from India, then you know whom to contact.

First Skin:
Run by Betty B, a pretty girl from Mizoram, First Skin is her brain child and passion project. It launched in 2016, but the idea stuck her way back in 2015. She strives to bring us all the carefully curated K-beauty products straight to our doorstep.

Tuan Cosmetics:
An Instagram store, I got my first ever Korean skincare product from them. Himadri is a darling. Bombard her with all your queries and issues and she will ever so sweetly guide you through everything. If you find a product out of stock on her page, don’t worry… Just let her know about it and she will ping you once it comes in stock.

Stalking Makeup:
An Instagram store run by Priya Sharma, I started shopping from her even before Instagram became a thing. I bought a lot of makeup and skincare products from US based brands through her. She had this group on Facebook for whom she sourced products directly from US and at pretty reasonable rates. So when I bumped into her K-beauty shop, I didn’t think twice before ordering.

Skintillating Ind:
Another Instagram page where you can buy Korean beauty and skincare products at reasonable rates. Good thing about the Instagram shops are that they have products from various K-Beauty brands which are not available in any website. You can even place pre-orders for particular products with them.

Yes Style:
It is considered to be one of the leading Asian Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle Retailers, but unfortunately it is based in Hong Kong and your products will take time to reach you, almost a month. I personally happened shopped from them, but few of my friends have and they have good experiences so far.

Jolse:
They are based in Korea. Most of the time they have amazing offers and discounts running across their website. They add lots of freebies to your order and also ship them for free. And you know the best part? They always declare packages as Gifts and and $5 value, so that you are not charged any additional custom fees. I have shopped from them once and have plans to shop again soon.

Cosmetic Love
Located in South Korea, this website too ships to India. They ship via Korea Post and shipping rate is calculated at the time of checkout, based on the product weight.

Amazon:-
Last but not the least, our good old Amazon. Amazon too stores wide range of K Beauty products. But most of the products are priced way higher than what we see in the above mentioned websites.

Other than the above mentioned sites, you can also check SkinBar, The Skin Time, Style Dotty and Shelc.
Few other Instgram Stores are Beauty India, Korean_Beauty_Corner, Skin Bliss Skin, Kosmetics_India.

I hope you found this article helpful. Have you shopped from any of these websites? How was your experience? Let us know if you know about any such store other than these.
