Beauty make-up brand Benefit Cosmetics has announced plans to open four new stores in Colombia this year. The new locations will open in Cali, Bogotá and Cartagena, taking the total number of Benefit stores in Colombia to 12.

The brand launched in the country in 2016 with several concessions within Falabella stores, followed by the opening of three standalone spaces. Five further shops opened last year, with the brand reporting a 220% increase in sales by the end of 2017, according to La República.

In addition to expanding its Colombian store portfolio, Benefit is planning to launch at least three new major products, which are expected to contribute towards the goal of generating more than 6 billion pesos ($2.1 million) in 2017 in Colombia.

In Latin America, it has a presence in Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Peru and Colombia, markets it plans to expand and strengthen by 2020.
