With so many influencers changing the way your customers think about a brand, influencer marketing is an integral part of any brand’s marketing strategy. Especially when it comes to fashion and beauty brands. That’s why brands are hiring beauty influencers for as much as 1 billion dollars to promote their brand favorably with the consumers. In 2016, Medakix estimated that influencers were paid over 9 million dollars for brand promotion.

That’s because your consumers want to see which brand their favorite influencer is using. How they are using it. They want to learn how to use them. That’s why beauty influencers in the US are on the rise.

Here are some of the most followed beauty influencers in the US:
