Tatcha

If you have been living under a rock and have never heard of Tatcha before, thank us later. Tatcha was created after Tsai (the founder) learned beauty secrets from a modern geisha during a trip to Japan.

Tsai then created her brand using, well, Tatcha. Tatcha is an ingredient that includes a little something called Hadasei-3, which combines powerful superfoods of tea, rice, and algae for beautifully supple skin.

Savor Beauty

Savor Beauty founder Angela Jia Kim, and her mom would always do their beauty routines together. During their routine, they would use elaborate products such as creams formulated with gold and silkworm cocoons. Consequently, this experience inspired Kim to create Savor Beauty.

Consequently, Kim's brand features the same luxurious ingredients bound will give you that healthy glow. If you have dry skin, try the hyaluronic serum to give your skin the instant moisture it needs. Also, the citrusy scent doesn't hurt.

Em Cosmetics

Michele Phan is one of the first YouTube beauty influencers and a major one at that. Phan is also the founder of IPSY, a beauty subscription service that curates the very best in skincare and beauty for you.

Emilie Heathe

We've never seen nail lacquer packaging that looks as superior as this. The founder Emily H. Rudman experienced a significant amount of time not feeling connected to her Korean heritage and therefore dedicated the Emilie Heathe brand to her ancestry.

The nail lacquer is super luxe and uses Asian-inspired ingredients such as sea buckthorn and bamboo rice. The application process is simple, and the finish is as elegant on your nails as the elegantly named colors.

Lanshin

Lanshin was created to improve facial complexion using the ancient Chinese practice of Gua Sha. The founder, Sandra Lanshin Chiu, provides facial treatments at her healing center and created the brand to provide products as an extension of the treatments she does.

We doubt the founder Deepica Mutyala knew she would go viral after using red lipstick to cover dark circles. Of course, with the brand's star product being red lipstick, it is perfect to use on lips and under eyes, or anywhere else seen fit.
