This is where South African Women are Buying their Beauty Products

The beauty industry is booming worldwide, and it’s no different in South Africa. In fact, women are shopping for their favourite makeup brands from around the world locally and have identified certain stores as their go-to beauty stops. The movement towards animal cruelty-free products and products that cater to different coverages and skin tones is taking South Africa by storm. Thus, a plethora of stores have opened their doors to the demands of South African women. Here is a list of shops where you will definitely be able to get your beauty fix.
