What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sephora's entry indicates that beauty competition on TikTok Shop will shift from individual-product promotion toward coordinated brand content, limited-time launches, and livestreams. A common mistake is copying Amazon's shelf-style images and copy without designing content moments, making it easier for major brands to capture attention. Highest priority this week: select one lead product and run an initial test linking short videos, creator affiliates, and a livestream.
