How A Cosmetics Promoter Helps A Brand

By Anna Carter


For many reasons the cosmetic industry has grown due to a number of factors. Not only can many products be shipped around the world but there is no typical user, making it acceptable for a regular person to have varied needs for a particular product. The cosmetics promoter can take partial credit for the growth and acceptance over the years.

While this may be a new title, they have existed under other titles like fashion photographer, makeup artist, stylist, or even someone who works in publicity. It takes a true visionary to change the mindset of an audience that may only know deep red lips, full eyelashes, and a little pink blush. Additionally, cosmetics not only make a defined face but also have the ability to restore natural beauty.

Before the internet changed the marketing game, live makeup artists were responsible for making the magic happen. If they had well known clientele like actresses and models, they could act as a walking billboard on print or events where they were likely to be photographed. Often the famous person was someone who could relate to the youth culture.

Some cosmetic styles, like the heavy eyeliner Cleopatra look, are a throwback to an earlier time. Other trends like glitter, lipstick shades in primary or secondary colors, are also part of the fashion circle that goes around almost every generation. When new ideas gain popularity, the more wearers begin to feel confident in themselves.

Males who wear cosmetics are another example of how trends come and go. Though Egyptian pharaohs used eyeliner in early days, some men wore powder to cover skin flaws in the early twentieth century. Decades later, the world would be exposed to a fashion movement that originated in the United Kingdom where men wore a full face of makeup. This look could be seen in a lot of popular music videos of the day. Pop culture experts often say this was how many young women and men felt comfortable with using makeup to express their true identity.

It was also during this period that cosmetics began to offer more than a facial color palette. Two innovations were in its early stages of development, corrective cosmetics and mineral based products. While the latter would not become popular for another couple of decades, people became interested in makeup that could conceal imperfects like blemishes and scars while looking natural.

Media ads showed real before and after photos while some department store makeup artist gave careful demonstrations on live models. This was a true testament that cosmetics could serve a purpose. These products also gave hope to people unable to wear traditional makeup products.

Although some cosmetics promotions people are better known as brand ambassadors, their input can influence people to buy a beauty product. This may be in the form of a sponsored blog or video presentation but the visuals are what many are looking forward to. This grassroots approach is often just as effective as an agency advertising campaign featuring a popular supermodel or celebrity spokesperson.
