Yes, sure. I am living in china for a couple of years. U can buy anything here.
If wanna buy the branded one, go to the mall.. it's a lot, dont need to worry. The cheaper one, can find it in the market.. but im not sure about the ingredients and still need to bargain, so better not.
Dont worry about this. I believe u can find anything u want here. If u r still curious, just take a look in the internet. just to make u sure ^^Can you buy normal western makeup in china? Foundation, mascara, eyeliner, lip gloss?
Most likely, considering that most everything is made in China now anyway!
You can find anything in China! Yes China does have western makeup. The most popular brands are Loreal, Lancome, Maybelline and can be found everywhere from supermarkets to shopping malls. Makeup from these brands aren't imported but rather manufatured in China. So they are taylored to Chinese people's tastes. Chinese people think that having white skin is a sign of beauty, youth, and wealth. So most lotions and makeups help people achieve this wanted whiteness. Higher brands such as Dior and Chanel can be found in major cities in high end department stores.
Colors maybe different because Chinese people don't like to be too out there. So you won't see any blue or green eye shadow.
I used to live in Asia, my opion is buy them at the departmnet store. Unless you have friends that knows the store, try not to buy at the vendors or flee market.
Sometime you'll get great deal, but the chinese health regulation aren't enforced as good as the FDA. You might have bought some knock off which contain chemical that's not good for your sckin.
Buying in the market is like a lottery. Sometime you win, sometime you loss.
It has become fairly popular in China, from what I have learned, to use makeup that makes your skin darker than normal. You can buy makeup of all kinds (and different shades) in China, but I would be careful about what you buy. A lot of the makeup you can find in China contains a variety of toxic chemicals. I know that China is trying set a law in place that will ban certain chemicals and require a check for these chemicals--there are 50 or so different chemicals from what I remember. I know it's become a problem for a lot of people. because its not uncommon for someone to use makeup on their entire body to give the appearance of a tan. So to answer your question: yes, you can find all of the makeup you asked about but personally I would not use it unless I was sure it contained no harmful chemicals.
