Insights Summary
•Covid-19 is top of mind for beauty influencers, as are topics related to
our “new normal”. March has also been a huge month for TikTok
experimentation.
•Beauty mentions decreased in March 2020, in part due to Covid-19, but
mentions had been trending downward in January and February as
well, prior to the virus becoming a global concern
•Engagement rates on beauty content have also decreased but at a
slightly lower rate than mentions, indicating that it’s not just that beauty
mentions have slowed, but also that Covid-19 has changed audiences’
engagement habits
•Despite the decline in mentions and engagement rates, the types of
beauty content that drive high engagement rates hasn't changed
much during the pandemic indicating that audiences are still interested
in beauty content that provides entertainment, education and inspiration.
•It’s an important time for brands to optimize the work they do with
influencers to align with the influencer and audiences' needs and
interests during this time

The first three months of 2020 show a decline in beauty-related mentions, with March seeing the highest decrease
YoY. In part, the decrease can be attributed to the shift in conversations and activity surrounding Covid-19 but the
decrease for the full quarter indicates that influencers had already starting posting less about beauty content than
the year before.

The average engagement rate on beauty content decreased as well, indicating that not only are audiences not seeing as
much influencer beauty content but also that they aren’t engaging as much with the content that they see. Audiences are
understandably preoccupied and are likely seeing more Covid-19 related content at the tops of their feeds.
This has impacted the hair category the most as they saw the biggest YoY decrease in mentions and engagement rates.
8. 8
TikTok is having a
moment.
There has been a 99% increase in mentions of TikTok by beauty
influencers on the other major social platforms since January.
Instagram Live is also seeing an increase in mentions, albeit much
lower volume overall.
