Olive Young Awards 2019 – The beauty retailer reveals the best Korean Beauty products of 2019

[Update: The post on the Olive Young Awards 2020 is now online]

Beauty awards season is in full swing in Korea and the Olive Young Awards represent the ultimate recognition for beauty brands. The retailer recently revealed the best K-Beauty products of 2019 based on 100 million customer purchase data collected from 1 January to November 25.

Olive Young is by far the most popular beauty and health retailer in Korea. Their beauty awards are especially important in the industry because they reflect actual purchasing trends and not some beauty editor’s personal picks.

The winners were announced during the annual “Olive Young Awards and Festa” that celebrates the retailer’s anniversary since 2014.

If you’re a professional K-Beauty bargain hunter, you might have already seen the expression Festa. Festa (페스타) is a word that has recently entered the Korean language and it’s derived from the Portuguese Festa, meaning festival. Nowadays it’s become a standard term to indicate promotional or sale events in Korea, so look out for it!

The ceremony, titled “The Journey to Real Beauty”, took place at S Factory in Seoul on 29-30 November. The event gave the audience a chance to learn about the 92 winning products in dedicated areas, as well as explore the new beauty trends of 2020.

In a statement, the retailer commented:

These results reflect the purchasing patterns of millennials between the age of 20 to 30, who are more likely to follow their personal taste and preferences instead of blindly following trends. In 2020 the K-Beauty market will expand, centering on small and medium-size brands who are quick to respond to customer tastes.
