Fan Bingbing's Official TikTok Launch Amasses Followers! Her Beauty Brand, Fan Beauty, Thrives in Southeast Asia

Recently, Fan Bingbing officially joined TikTok, quickly attracting followers with her beauty brand, Fan Beauty Diary. Within just two short videos, she gained over 55,000 followers, and her introductory video received over 530,000 views.


In recent years, it has become common for brands and influencers to explore international markets. Given the competitive domestic market, venturing abroad for new opportunities is a smart strategy. Leading Chinese influencers like Crazy Little Brother Yang and Simba have chosen Southeast Asia as their initial overseas destination.

01 Fan Bingbing's Frequent Appearances in Southeast Asia Lay the Groundwork for Brand Expansion

Before joining TikTok, Fan Bingbing was already active in Southeast Asia, boosting her international profile and laying a solid foundation for her brand's expansion. Late last year, she appeared at Singapore's Shaw House on Orchard Road and attended the opening ceremony of the 34th Singapore International Film Festival, where she received the Outstanding Actress Award amidst a large crowd of fans.

In April, during Thailand's Songkran Festival, she participated in a parade at the invitation of the Thai Tourism Authority, dazzling onlookers in traditional Thai attire and garnering significant attention and traffic.


More recently, Fan Bingbing was invited to become the tourism goodwill ambassador for Malacca, Malaysia. She wore traditional Peranakan attire and gifted Fan Beauty products to Malacca’s Chief Minister, Ab Rauf Yusoh.


These activities provided her with exposure on prestigious international stages, allowed her to accumulate valuable overseas resources, and promoted her brand. Fan Bingbing's influence and reputation in Southeast Asia, especially within the overseas Chinese community, remain strong.

In May, Fan Bingbing announced on social media that Fan Beauty Diary had officially launched on Southeast Asia's leading e-commerce platform, Lazada, marking the start of its international journey.


In June, Fan Beauty's official TikTok account (@fan.beauty.diary) began posting videos, with Fan Bingbing herself announcing their TikTok debut. The account will continue to share beauty and skincare tips, brand stories, and product usage insights.

Fan Beauty was founded by Fan Bingbing in 2018, managed by Fan Meili (Beijing) Cosmetics Trading Co., Ltd. The Chinese brand name, "美黎汎" (Mei Li Fan), incorporates Fan Bingbing's surname and symbolizes beauty.

Fan Beauty specializes in face masks, skincare products, and shampoos, with prices ranging from 30 yuan to over 1,000 yuan. Its main product lines include the Sea Grape series, Peony series, Red Carpet Makeup, SPA Mask series, and Professional Personal Care series.

In the fiercely competitive beauty and skincare market, many celebrity brands have faded. How can Fan Beauty rise rapidly to become a top domestic brand and successfully expanded overseas?


This success is not solely due to Fan Bingbing's star power but also to the brand's dedication to product excellence. For example, the popular Sea Grape Mask continues to evolve to enhance customer satisfaction, supported by impressive sales data.

Fan Bingbing is deeply involved in product development, personally testing products and providing feedback on packaging, texture, fragrance, and user experience.


Leveraging her celebrity status, robust product quality, and a strong supply chain, Fan Beauty has successfully replicated its domestic success overseas. The brand has expanded its product range to include sun protection, body care, and fragrances, thereby capturing a larger market.

Looking ahead, Fan Beauty plans to integrate online and offline sales channels, both domestically and internationally.

02 The Rapid Growth of TikTok and Southeast Asia's Live Commerce Boom

In August last year, Indonesian influencer Richard Lee sold skincare products worth 403 billion rupiah (approximately $26 million) in a single live-stream session, astonishing the industry and setting a record.

This year, during Vietnam's 6.6 e-commerce promotion, top live-streamer Võ Hà Linh achieved over 33 million RMB (about $4.5 million) in sales within four hours.


TikTok Shop is experiencing explosive growth in Southeast Asia. According to Earnest Analytics, by February this year, TikTok Shop accounted for 68% of the social e-commerce market.

In 2023, TikTok's global e-commerce GMV reached approximately $13.6 billion, with over 90% coming from Southeast Asia. This is why leading Chinese influencers, such as Little Brother Yang and Simba, chose Southeast Asia for their initial international ventures. Whether for brand expansion or influencer outreach, establishing a presence on TikTok is a wise move.


Why is live commerce thriving in Southeast Asia?

Proximity and cultural similarities mean that live commerce resonates well in the region. Southeast Asian consumers are highly receptive to this e-commerce model and frequently watch live streams. Unlike in the West, where outdoor activities are more popular, Southeast Asians spend significant time watching live streams. Vietnamese viewers, for instance, spend an average of 13 hours per week watching and shopping from live streams, ranking 11th globally in weekly online shopping time.

As for whether Fan Bingbing will host live-commerce sessions on TikTok, stay tuned.

One thing is certain: more Chinese celebrities and brands will venture abroad, finding success in international markets.
