Monthly Beauty Roundup

Every month we round up our favourite ads, campaigns, trends, and creators from the social media beauty industry. So, who’s been busy in the beauty world this month? 

Trend Spotlight

Clean Beauty 

This month’s beauty trend is Clean Beauty. Rather than meaning cruelty free and vegan, this trend relates to how makeup is applied. Going for the “clean girl” aesthetic look, TikTok creators have been showing their routines for no makeup, makeup looks.

Essie: Nail Strengthener

Essie used influencers and In-Feed ads on TikTok to promote its nail strengthening polish. Essie reposted content created by the influencers to its branded page. Influencers demonstrated painting the strengthener and then showed their nails throughout the day, doing tasks that would typically damage nails.
