Global Beauty Company Amorepacific Proves itself as K-Beauty Leader at Beautycon

Held each year in New York, Los Angeles and London, Beautycon is one of the industry's greatest events with over 100,000 on and offline fans coming together from around the world. In this year's event which saw the participation of over 100 brands, 200 celebrities and beauty content creators, Amorepacific projected its stature offering a range of brand experiences at Amorepacific Land, a concept based on a beauty theme park. Among the 22,000 beauty enthusiasts who participated in Beautycon, many lined up at Amorepacific Land, which was perfectly geared to social media environments, to embark on a journey and partake in a variety of interactive activities.

In addition to the Amorepacific Land experience, the company focused the attention of the visitors through collaboration with Beautycon in an exclusive lounge in the K-beauty section. The lounge, which served as a portal to the K-beauty section, was open to all visitors and showcased five featured brands including AMOREPACIFIC, Sulwhasoo, LANEIGE and Mamonde along with their innovative products. Visitors were also invited to meet-and-greets with prominent Korean beauty influencers Karen Yeung (@iamkareno) and Fei (@heyitsfeiii), who boast over 3.5 million followers combined.

"We are thrilled to partner with Beautycon and be at the forefront of their new K-Beauty exhibition." said Jessica Hanson, President of Amorepacific U.S. "Beautycon's decision to make an area dedicated to the category proves that K-Beauty is more than just a fleeting trend, and we are proud to be leading this growing category."

K-beauty style has become a major trend in the global beauty industry and at the forefront stands Amorepacific. Summing up to 6 billion USD in annual sales, Amorepacific features around 30 brands including AMOREPACIFIC, Sulwhasoo, LANEIGE, Mamonde, innisfree and ETUDE HOUSE, accounting the largest market share in Korea, as well as being the longest in existence, with a history of 73 years.

Amorepacific had been propelling the world's beauty trend long before the rise of the term K-beauty, by launching new categories in the market with innovative creations such as the cushion, sleeping mask and boosting serum. Early this year, Amorepacific officially launched in Australia to reach out to local consumers and deliver the essence of 'Asian Beauty', reflecting its deep understanding of both nature and humanity to pursue harmony between inner and outer beauty.

Last March, the company's global premium brand LANEIGE launched in Sephora stores across Australia including major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, followed by the store grand opening of the global naturalism brand innisfree in Melbourne last June. Amorepacific plans to continue to introduce luxury and premium brands from its portfolio to expand its presence in the Australian market.
