The Advantages Of Using A Cosmetics Promoter

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.

Although this job title may not be a familiar one, many jobs have entailed promoting the beauty industry. Makeup artists that work in retail and photo shoots, stylists, and even someone who leads a public relations team. These people use their creative mindset to convince people to feel confident about expressing themselves. In addition, they also deliver the message that makeup can renew and bring out facial features and not flaws.

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.

Men that use cosmetics are another trend that goes back centuries. Decades ago, some were looking to disguise aging skin or damage done by the sun. Fast forward to the age of music videos where male recording acts wore a full face of makeup off and on the stage. While it was a trend that was confusing for some, others embraced it leading to a few manufacturers creating a line of cosmetics solely for men.

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.

Promoting cosmetics can be done in a number of ways but knowing the audience is key. While some still like to see how a product looks on camera before buying, a nice presentation helps. Sometimes, a simple testimonial can drive sales just as fast as an agency ad campaign using a model or famous person.
