Where To Buy Korean Makeup and Skincare in Toronto Canada
Update Nov 2023: Check out this new shop I found called Esmea.ca! They’re based in Montreal (so expect fast shipping times, I’m in BC and got my order within the week), and they’ve got a great selection of the most popular brands. I’ve found the Needly toner pads on here and will be reviewing it shortly!! I think right now they have a welcome 10% off coupon on their homepage!
*Update #2: I’ve compiled a list of my all-time favorite skincare and makeup products as a bridal makeup artist: read here if you’re looking for some recc’s!
Korean Skincare and Korean Makeup products, are not only affordable but centered around a communal mission for radiant, hydrated skin. Let me shout it for those in the back: RADIANT, HYDRATED SKIN! Kbeauty, in its entirety, prioritizes prevention through natural, high-quality ingredients that provide deep hydration all through gentle formulation to avoid skin irritation.
Toronto has many online and physical store options, I’ll list as much as I can find below! List may continue to get updated. If I missed any of your favorite spots drop a comment below and let me know!

Toronto Korean Grocery Stores that Sell K Beauty
There are some well-known Korean grocery stores that sell awesome food products and are known to carry a small variety of K Beauty. Feel free to check out these stores if you’re in the mood to adventure around!

Where to buy korean skincare online
While many Toronto stores have online options, here are some e-commerce KBeauty store options I’ve used or heard of before!
Before you read below, don’t forget to check Amazon if you have Prime to make use of 2-day shipping! But do your research and make sure the Amazon seller is authentic before purchasing (either fulfilled by the brand or by Amazon, for example Klairs’ official store is here).
Esmea
As I mentioned above, Esmea.ca is based in Montreal, so not only can you expect fast shipping times, but you know you’re supporting local. They’ve got a great selection of the most popular up and coming brands. I got the Needly toner pads (review here), and a couple Beauty of Joseon items (review here) too.
They usually have some sort of welcome discount happening as well so definitely take advantage of that!
StyleVana
StyleVana is an awesome option if you’re purchasing more than a few things. I usually will always purchase from here now because they have the best selection for both kbeauty and Japanese products, best prices and lower minimums for free shipping. They almost always have a sale running too.
If there’s a product you need, there’s a great chance StyleVana has it. Their shipping is usually faster than YesStyle, which is why I started purchasing more frequently from here. Free shipping on orders CAD$85 and over (7-14 Business Days).
Take a look at their stock status to see how quickly it will be processed, usually, if it’s “In-Stock” it will be processed and shipped out within 24 hours.
Skin TO
With over 30 brands to choose from, Skin TO started as a passion project by a Torontonian who felt Toronto’s KBeauty scene needed a little makeover itself, focused on great customer service, fast shipping, and readily available top KBeauty brands like Beauty of Joseon, Some by Mi, Apieu, SKIN1004, Laneige, Innisfree and more.
3 Shipment Options Below:
1. Free pick up downtown and Markham
Available at: First Markham Place Sundays at 12pm / Downtown Toronto by College Station Mondays and Wednesdays at 6pm (Wednesdays only through Jul/Aug)
2. Local Weekend Delivery
Available in the GTA for $5. Deliveries are once a week on a rotating basis between the east and west side of the GTA.
3. Shipping
Postal runs twice a week. Fees:

$17 in BC, Alberta, Sask. Manitoba and the Maritimes
Pink n Blossom
With over 2,500 products from popular Korean cosmetic brands, Pink n Blossom is an Ontario-based company focused on following the latest trends and K-beauty news. They pride themselves on high-quality, 100% authentic KBeauty products. They provide sales and deals, and carry brands such as Etude House, I’m From, Laneige, Skinfood, and Klairs.
Shipping Options in Canada
Free Standard Shipping on orders over CAD$59 before tax.
Standard Shipping Cost: CAD $10.99
Estimated delivery time 2 - 5 business days
Mikaela Beauty
Since 2016, Mikaela Beauty prides themselves on being one of the first and only approved Canadian retailers for many KBeauty brands such as: Beauty of Joseon, Benton, Klairs, By Wishtrend, I’m from, Mizon and Son & Park. Each product that arrives at their facility, directly from South Korea, has been registered through Health Canada to confirm both its authenticity and skin safety.
They also offer reward points as they work towards their mission in providing affordable high quality Korean beauty products. They offer:
Free Expedited Shipping (1-6 Business Days) for orders CAD$65 and over
Free Xpresspost (1-3 Business Days) for orders CAD$150 and over
YesStyle
With a massive selection to choose from and lots of sales, YesStyle is also a classic backup option if you’re unable to find what you’re looking for from the sites stated above. Also great for bulk stock-ups.
However, they are notorious for long (I’m talking up to or over 4 week long) shipping periods. Free Shipping is provided on orders CAD$115 and over.
Enjoyed the list? Let me know if there are any must-visit spots or sites I may have missed and drop your favorite products in the comments below! I love trying new things, and constantly updating the blog! <3
Cheers,
