See all ads on AdLibrary →Perfect Diary (完美日记) was founded in 2017 by Huang Jinfeng in Guangzhou. It became China's first DTC cosmetics unicorn, famous for high-quality eyeshadow palettes at mass-market prices. The brand pioneered WeChat private-traffic communities and KOL/KOC influencer marketing on Xiaohongshu, driving explosive growth. Its parent company Yatsen Global (YSG) is listed on the NYSE.
Perfect Diary's ad strategy is built on massive KOL/KOC investment across Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), Douyin, and WeChat. The brand famously seeded product to thousands of micro-influencers simultaneously, creating an organic-feeling flood of content. On paid channels, collaboration eyeshadow palettes (National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Metropolitan Museum) generate news-cycle attention that extends ad campaign reach.

Internationally, Perfect Diary runs Facebook and Instagram ads targeting Chinese diaspora and Asian beauty consumers aged 18–35. Creative shows before/after eye looks, palette layouts, and unboxing experiences. For Western markets, TikTok Shop has become the primary paid channel. Their WeChat private-traffic communities remain their most efficient domestic conversion channel.
Core copy themes: luxury quality at accessible price ('大牌平替' — luxury dupe), collaboration exclusivity ('limited edition x National Geographic'), and empowerment messaging for Chinese women. International copy shifts to ingredient and formula quality claims. Colour-forward creative with bold palette imagery dominates both paid and organic content.
Perfect Diary wrote the Chinese DTC beauty playbook: seed micro-influencers at scale to manufacture organic discovery, build WeChat private-traffic communities for repeat purchase, and collaborate with IP that grants instant credibility. Their model proved that in China, distribution of content matters more than production quality — 10,000 micro-influencer posts outperform one celebrity campaign.
