💡 Why LinkedIn for US makeup creators? (Short and real)
If your brief reads like “professional, demo-style makeup tutorials that land with PR folks, retail buyers, and pro makeup communities,” LinkedIn is legitimately interesting — especially for product launches aimed at salons, pro artists, or beauty tech buyers.
Platform tone on LinkedIn favours longer-form how-tos, product breakdowns, and credibility signals (certifications, salon creds, client lists). That means a well-shot 3–6 minute tutorial with step captions and product timestamping can outperform the same video posted cold on Instagram — when your audience is industry pros and decision-makers.
Heads-up: LinkedIn started feeding user text, photos and video into its generative AI in late 2024–25, which has sparked debate about data use and transparency. That shift matters for creator rights and content usage talk — see reporting on platform data practices (alquds_ar). Always lock usage and IP rights in contracts.
📊 Data Snapshot: Platform comparison for US makeup tutorials
| 🧩 Metric | TikTok | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 👥 Monthly Active (US) | 250.000.000 | 200.000.000 | 150.000.000 |
| 📈 Avg Tutorial Watch Time | 2:30 | 1:10 | 0:45 |
| 💬 Professional Engagement | Higher | Medium | Lower |
| 💰 Avg CPM for Beauty | $25 | $18 | $12 |
| 🔒 Content Reuse Risk | Medium | Medium | Low |
The table shows LinkedIn delivers stronger professional engagement and longer tutorial watch time — useful when conversion is B2B or pro-audience driven — but usually with higher CPMs. Instagram and TikTok excel at scale and lower CPMs for consumer reach. Consider mixing platforms: use LinkedIn for demo authority and IG/TikTok for discovery and virality.
🎯 Clear strategy: Where and how to find US LinkedIn makeup creators
1) Search with intent — not just keywords. Use LinkedIn search filters:
– Keywords: “makeup artist,” “MUA,” “beauty educator,” “cosmetic chemist,” plus location: United States.
– Filter by “Content” to find recent posts; sort by “Most recent” to catch active creators.
2) Use boolean strings in LinkedIn and Google:
– Example: “makeup artist” AND (tutorial OR “how to”) AND (“United States” OR USA) site:linkedin.com/in
Run this in Google to surface public profiles and embedded posts.
3) Look for signals of creator quality:
– Recent long-form posts with step photos or video.
– Clear product mentions + timestamps.
– Comments from salon owners, brands, or makeup retailers.
– Cross-posts to YouTube or Instagram Reels (shows distribution savvy).
4) Scour LinkedIn Live, newsletters, and LinkedIn Articles:
Some pros host mini-classes via LinkedIn Live or publish detailed Articles — gold for partnership fit.
5) Use BaoLiba and creator databases:
Search BaoLiba for US-based beauty creators and cross-check LinkedIn handles. BaoLiba ranks creators by region and topic — great shortlist starter.

⚖️ Contracts, rights, and AI concerns
Recent reporting highlights platforms using user content to train AI models (alquds_ar). For Australian advertisers hiring US creators:
– Be explicit on ownership: license vs buyout.
– Define whether content may be used to train AI (you and the creator should opt-out if either party objects).
– Include moral clauses, revision counts, and distribution windows.
– Local law: US has no single federal GDPR equivalent; your contract must be airtight.

💬 Check recent tutorial videos, ask for a work reel and client refs, and review engagement on both LinkedIn and cross-posted channels.
