cosmetics in indonesia (shoppers, Japanese, sold)

Does anyone know anything about the use of cosmetics by women in indonesia? I am doing a paper and wondering if they are even interested in them there.

I met Indonesian delegates on various occasions.
The ladies were keen shoppers of cosmetics and their favourite brands were Japanese – Shesheido, Kaneibo, Menard, Kose.
Although these brands are sold in North American departmental stores but they do not stock items popular in Asian countries. Luckily these can be found in cosmetics boutigues that target Asian clientele.
Another thing I learned about them is that they take “jamu” regularly as part of their beauty regime.
Hope this helps.
