Nordstrom Vancouver recently introduced fans to a K-Beauty kiosk that spotlights the best in Korean skincare and makeup products. Targeting an audience of Millennial beauty buffs, this in-store activation offers best-selling creams, cleansers, sheet masks and even mascaras from top K-Beauty brands like Too Cool for School, DTRT and Me Factory.
Synonymous with exclusivity and luxury, the Nordstrom brand goes ones step further to appeal to those seeking niche and cultural beauty offerings.
