Guestblog: “We’ve been waiting for these Iconic Makeup Brands in the Netherlands”

Hi! My name is Carolina, a Chinese-Panamenian blogger from BeautyTips&AdvicebyCaroMac. I have been living in The Netherlands since 2011 and reviewing and trying new beauty products has been my passion ever since. I was asked by the lovely Kari to be a guestblogger on columnsbykari.com.

I love checking out the latest beauty brand releases and my favorite beauty shops in The Netherlands and post about them on Instagram. In this article I will share with you some of the coolest makeup releases on the Dutch market, as well as some of the best Dutch beauty shops. These are the brands and products all the beauty gurus are talking about!

Iconic Makeup Brands in The Netherlands

The Dutch often have to wait a long time for new brands to release their products in the Netherlands. But in the last three years, there have been some truly amazing releases, that have revolutionized every makeup lover’s makeup stash and were definitely worth the wait. I’m not talking about the mainstream brands, such as YSL, Channel, Dior, Lancome and Clinique – which you can find everywhere in the world. Over the past few years the Dutch beauty market has been graced with the arrival of iconic brands such as Urban Decay, Too Faced, NYX cosmetics, Huda Beauty and many more. They have given makeup lovers a wide variety of choices, according to their needs and budget.

Douglas

Douglas Nederland has brought some the coolest brands in store and also online. It started with Douglas selling MAC, Smashbox (famous for their primers and contour palettes) and ZOEVA (best makeup brushes and amazing eyeshadow palettes!). And then, last year they released BECCA – a brand famous for their outstanding highlighters and primers. And one of their most anticipated releases of all time: Too Faced Cosmetics. This brand is incredibly populair for the Chocolate Bar Palette, Sweet Peach Palette and Better than Sex Mascara.

In the luxury and high-end department, De Bijenkorf, last year launched NARS cosmetics, for everyone who is looking for their famous Orgasm blush and NARS Sheer Glow Foundation. The Dutch warehouse also houses Charlotte Tilbury, the brand of the makeup artist of A-list celebrities which is famous for the Magic Cream and Film Star Bronze Palette.

Korean Skincare

In januari of 2018, I started using Korean skincare to experiment with different brands. I discovered LifeandBeautyShop: a webshop where I get brands like April Skin, Benton, Innis Free, COSRX and much more. I love to shop at LifeandBeautyShop because of their excellent customer service, their attention to their customers and the products.

So, beauty lovers, you have plenty of options to choose from and now you know where to find the coolest and trendiest brands in The Netherlands.

With love,
CaroMac
