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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
