Luxcrime

Luxcrime is one of the most popular local cosmetic brands through their superior products; Luxcrime Blur & Cover Two Way Cake. This powder is claimed to be able to even out skin tone and make the face look smoother like using a filter. In addition, this powder comes in 3 shades for light, medium, and tan skin.

BLP – By Lizzie Parra

Another one of the homegrown beauty industries is BLP Beauty. The name BLP is an acronym for “By Lizzie Parra” which stands for the founder’s name, beauty vlogger Lizzie Parra. The signature product from this brand is its lip coat, but BLP has since ventured out to eye products, face products to a collection of makeup brushes.

BLP Beauty is available at Ground Floor Lotte Shopping Avenue, and two other locations in Bandung and Surabaya. You can buy it online via BLP Beauty’s official website, Sociolla, or Tokopedia.

Dear Me Beauty

Dear Me Beauty is also one of the most popular local cosmetic brands. One of Dear Me Beauty’s products that is worth a try is a foundation that is claimed to be very light, Air Poreless Fluid Foundation. Dear Me Beauty says that its products are only made with natural ingredients and not tested on animals. Their Lip Coat also contains Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, which prevents your lips from drying out.
