Becoming a successful beauty influencer isn’t an overnight rise to stardom; it takes time, passion and dedication. Here are a few critical steps to follow to accomplish Instafamous beauty connoisseur status.
How to Become a Successful Beauty Influencer
1. Stand Out!
This one is pretty self-explanatory. As a beauty influencer, you have to be able to influence people. But if you post beauty looks like all of the other influencers, you will just become one of the many faces that people will scroll past during their daily Instagram swipes. Why not find your own voice in beauty by developing your own beauty looks that come from what you, personally, like? While many influencers post full-face looks, some post only eyes and lips. There are even some influencers who only post swatches. What type of beauty influencer do you want to be? Find your passion and start posting. Remember, you have the right to change your look, your style, and your passion as many times as you like. But you will need to have some basic parameters of your look, style, and passion for growing your online fanbase.
2. Communicate Effectively!
There’s nothing more aggravating than reading influencer posts with typos and misspellings. To be an effective influencer, you have to list the exact brands, products, and shades you used for each look. Details matter. Remember, you want to influence others. You can’t do this if the people you want to influence don’t see you as an expert in what you are posting.
3. Have A Passion for Beauty!
As you know, just having an Instagram account doesn’t mean you will become a beauty influencer. Maybe your passion isn’t even beauty. Perhaps you like fashion or interior decorating or inspiring others with motivational words of encouragement. Maybe you are a great cook. There are tons of ways that you can become a top influencer. But you have to have a real passion for whatever type of influencer you want to become. Talent is one thing, but the time and effort it takes to reach the top is often paved with a few obstacles along the way. Expect to make mistakes. We’re all human. Just remember to dust yourself off and, if this is your passion in life, you will find the will, and “the WHY” to keep going.
4. Have A Skillset!
We all have talents that make us unique. However, just because you want to become the next Kim Kardashian, doesn’t mean that this path is your calling. Do you love spending hours applying makeup, taking off and then reapplying makeup to get that perfect look? Do people tend to ask you how you apply your make up to look like you do? Do your friends often say that they wish they knew how to apply makeup like you? These are three sure signs you may have what it takes to become a successful beauty influencer.
