🔍 Introduction: Solving a Core Pain Point for Cross-Border Beauty Sellers

In today’s fiercely competitive cross-border e-commerce landscape, especially within the cosmetics category, sellers on platforms like Amazon, Alibaba, eBay, Zalando, and Etsy are encountering some universal challenges:

• 🔻 Profit margins are shrinking due to intensified price wars and product homogenization.

• 🔺 Advertising costs are soaring, making customer acquisition less profitable.

• ⚠️ Low Average Order Value (AOV) limits revenue potential and increases dependency on paid traffic.

• ❌ Relying on a single SKU makes it increasingly difficult to scale profits or improve customer lifetime value.

In such a scenario, finding smart, profitable product bundling strategies is not just a nice-to-have — it’s a must-have.

💡 This post reveals 3 high-margin makeup bundle strategies

Proven to help sellers across major platforms boost AOV by 30% or more.
Tailored for B2B buyers seeking finished cosmetic products, OEM/ODM partnerships, or private label cooperation with stable, flexible suppliers.
