As defined by TikTok:

“By way of this partnership, TikTok Store will likely be lifting the lid on how magnificence manufacturers can win at LIVE purchasing periods on the platform, studying best-in-class ideas of the commerce from one in all TikTok Store’s finest performing LIVE magnificence sellers.”
