How A Cosmetics Promoter Helps A Brand

By Anna Carter


Right now, the makeup industry is hot in sales and top brands are getting recognized across the globe. At one time, nontheatrical cosmetic products were used primarily by women on special occasions but these days, there is room for everyone to express themselves freely. This is mostly due to the efforts of a cosmetics promoter, who plays a large role in telling the public that looking good has few boundaries.

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.

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.

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.
