Top 10 Beauty Shops in the US on TikTok Shop

Here’s a look at the top-performing beauty shops in the U.S. TikTok Shop market—those leading in sales, brand engagement, and creator-led success.

1. Tarte Cosmetics $55.9M

Tarte is the undisputed leader in US TikTok Shop beauty sales. With $55.9M in GMV, the brand has successfully translated its long-standing retail presence into a TikTok-native strategy. Known for performance-driven formulas and trend-friendly SKUs like the Shape Tape concealer, Tarte leverages creators for viral GRWM videos, limited-time deals, and exclusive bundles.

2. Wavytalk $44.1M

Coming in second, Wavytalk has carved a niche in personal care appliances. With $44.1M in GMV, this brand is thriving in the same space where TikTok tutorials do the selling. Think: curling wand hacks, blowout demos, and “dupe” content targeting salon-quality hair results at home.

Its success proves that value-driven, visually demonstrable tools are tailor-made for the TikTok beauty crowd.

3. Tymo Beauty $27.7M

Tymo is another strong appliance brand riding the visual appeal of styling tools. Their $27.7M in sales reflect the continued demand for tech-forward, plug-and-play solutions that deliver immediate results—something TikTok’s format excels at showing.

4. GoPure – $26.2M

A skincare-focused brand highlighting anti-aging and clean formulas, GoPure often pairs its product lineup with educational content and testimonial-driven campaigns. The brand's transparency and results-driven messaging resonate with TikTok’s wellness-conscious consumers.

5. GuruNanda – $23.9M

Known for essential oils and oral care products, GuruNanda has carved a niche in the broader wellness space. Its success on TikTok Shop stems from its cross-category appeal and content that links self-care with simple, natural routines.

 

The Rest of the Power Players: Top 6-10

These five brands complete the top 10 list, each bringing a distinct niche, regional influence, and creator-driven strategy to TikTok Shop success:

  • Beachwaver – $23.4M: Combines haircare with tools, with a strong influencer following and clear value proposition (beachy waves in minutes).
  • Canvas Beauty – $23.1M: Focuses on textured hair care, with loyal followings in underserved beauty segments.
  • Medicube – $23.1M: A Korean skincare brand that leverages TikTok’s global crossover appeal, combining tech, derm-grade claims, and minimalist branding.
  • Anua – $22.9M: Another K-beauty player winning with clean formulations and hydration-first regimens.
  • The Ordinary – $21.5M: Perhaps the most recognizable brand on this list, The Ordinary benefits from TikTok's skincare-obsessed audiences and viral product recommendations.

 

Key Takeaways: What This Top 10 Tells Us

  • Appliances sell big. Brands like Wavytalk and Tymo prove that tools that show visible results can outperform even high-recognition skincare labels.
