Most domestic brands go abroad, the main position will basically prefer Southeast Asia and other markets, but ZEESEA Zee's overseas market layout focus is in Japan, North America and other developed countries. In fact, in the United States, Japan and other developed countries, the user's use of makeup habits, discriminatory ability, aesthetic level is more mature, the choice of brand standards are more demanding, such a layout strategy is actually very challenging for a first-time overseas brands. "Mature market and mature users can prove the brand value and operation ability more quickly." He Jicai, marketing director of Zicolor, explained.

"Just look at the product packaging of Zicolor, you can see that the national brand in the aesthetic, design has been in line with international, makeup is both a beauty product and art." In Guangdong Province, the executive chairman of the Institutional Reform Research Association Peng Peng commented.

At the same time, Peng Peng suggested that, on the one hand, national brands need to cultivate a professional cross-cultural background team to approach partners of different cultural backgrounds; on the other hand, they also need to effectively and accurately communicate with consumers of different cultural backgrounds, from the "Chinese makeup" became popular worldwide, can see the "Made in China "Now on the stage of direct competition with first-line brands, national brands more to sink their teeth into shaping the cultural value of the brand.

Experts on the scene believe that the next 3-5 years is the window period for Chinese brands to go to sea. According to Hu Qimu, senior researcher of Digital Economy Think Tank, digital empowerment is the most effective means to enhance competitiveness at sea.

Digitalization can empower the color cosmetics industry in R&D, design, production, supply chain, marketing, channels and other aspects. The former brand digital layout is more in the last two links, but the FMCG industry market changes quickly, in addition to the digitalization of marketing and channels, but also through digitalization, quickly follow the market changes, to achieve flexible production.
