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 it became common to use social media for promoting anything, people that worked in the beauty and fashion industries would encourage makeup artists to make their subjects look wonderful. That subject could be the popular actress or female recording star, or even a model with exceptional beauty. This person may be known for having a style that others find inspirational.

Just like fashion apparel, some beauty trends never really go out of style. For example, precision arched eyebrows are somewhat tradition but even unique items like shimmery makeup or lip gloss have their moments of popularity. When there is some variety, users often gain confident in creating a new look.

Like men who wear makeup on and off the stage. While it gained some popularity in the early eighteenth century, men wore makeup to cover imperfections related to age and sun damage. Then in the 1980s, the cycle started again with British recording acts like Culture Club and Duran Duran. The image promoted back then was both glamorous and eclectic. Though some would call this period the precursor to gender bending in pop culture, it did lead to more people expressing their true selves with makeup.

While some felt the freedom to experiment with colors, two beauty innovations were in the making. Corrective makeup that gave a natural look and natural multiuse powders were promoted by clerks who worked the makeup counter, as well as advertisement showing the real results. As a result, concealers and foundations made to cover scars and discoloration grew faster than cosmetics made from finely ground minerals.

People loved using concealer that did not present an artificial look and, over time, the application got easier and more affordable. Mineral powder makeup products eventually became widely used. One reason was promotion, as both products presented print and televised advertisements. Live models were used to demonstrate effectiveness. At the same time, makeup artists that worked in department stores were strongly encouraged to give demonstrations that would drive immediate sales.

Overall the cosmetics marketer, who may also be known as a brand ambassador, can carry a lot of weight when it comes to the direct sales of a product. While some may give a brand a nice blog post, seeing the effectiveness or look on camera speaks volumes. In contrast to high budget ad campaigns, a regular person that gives a good presentation with a basic digital camera can help sell just as many units as a top supermodel or celebrity spokesperson.
