Beauty is personal.
Prestige expectations are higher than ever.

You’re juggling launch calendars, shade ranges, ingredient stories, and retailer expectations—all while trying to keep creators, content, and paid media aligned. The stakes are higher for beauty: one off-brand post, one mismatched shade, one weak campaign can ripple through your retail relationships. This is the tension we design beauty campaigns for.

Beauty’s new reality

1

Creator fit isn’t optional.

You need more than “beauty influencers.” You need creators who match your shade ranges, skin types, hair textures, and routines—so every demo feels credible and every recommendation feels earned.

2

Retailers want proof, not posts.

Retail and DTC teams care about movement, not mentions. Creator content has to connect to add-to-cart, retail rank, search lift, and paid performance so you can walk into Sephora, Ulta, or Amazon meetings with a story that holds up.

3

The content pressure never lets up.

Launches come and go, but the need for great content doesn’t. You need swatches, routines, GRWMs, before-and-afters, and ingredient explainers you can reuse all year—not one-off assets that expire with the campaign.

Why Beauty Brands Hire Us

Why beauty brands hire The Shelf

Beauty has its own rules. Shade ranges, skin stories, ingredient claims, retail politics. Our job is to build influencer programs that respect all of that and still hit your numbers.

Creator Casting

Creators who actually make your product believable

We don’t just find “beauty influencers.” We cast for shade range, skin type, hair texture, aesthetic, and audience trust so every demo feels like a real recommendation—not a one-off ad.

  • Deep beauty network across skincare, makeup, haircare, and body.
  • Precision matching by routine, concern, and community.
Content Library

Reusable content your team can actually work with

GRWMs, routines, swatches, transformations, ingredient explainers—we build you a rights-cleared library of assets that lives on long after the first campaign flight.

  • Formatted for social, PDPs, email, paid, and retail environments.
  • Delivered and tagged so your team can find what they need in seconds.
Performance

Influencer as a performance channel, not a line item

We design creator content to behave like high-performing ads and tie it back to the metrics your stakeholders care about—from PDP traffic and ROAS to retail rank and search lift.

  • Clear reporting you can take into Sephora, Ulta, or Amazon meetings.
  • Testing across hooks, claims, and formats to keep improving results.
Team Extension

A beauty-specialist team that takes work off your plate

Briefing creators, clearing claims, managing usage rights, optimizing paid—our team runs the moving parts so yours can stay focused on launches, retailers, and brand-building.

  • Strategy, sourcing, contracts, QA, and optimization handled end-to-end.
  • Built to plug into your existing marketing and retail calendars.
Beauty Creator System

Unlock a beauty creator system that compounds over time.

Beauty creators bring your brand to life with textures, tones, routines, and results. The real unlock happens when that content stops being a one-off campaign and starts behaving like a system—one that’s built around your launch calendar, your retail partners, and the way your customers actually buy.

When creator storytelling, paid amplification, and ongoing optimization work together, you’re not just running influencer campaigns… you’re building a reusable beauty engine that supports launches, retail needs, and every moment in between.

01

Built around your launch & retail calendar

We start with your hero SKUs, shade stories, retailer commitments, and timing. Campaigns are structured to support real business milestones—new launches, resets, and key retail windows—so creator content is always laddering up to something that matters.

02

Reusable, high-volume beauty content

From GRWMs and routines to swatches, transformations, and ingredient explainers, we build a rights-cleared library of assets that doesn’t expire with the campaign. Your team gets beauty-native content it can plug into social, PDPs, email, paid, and retail placements all year long.

03

A performance & learning loop, not one-offs

Every campaign feeds the next. We test hooks, claims, creators, and formats, then use what works to refine creative, targeting, and spend. Over time, your beauty program becomes a learning system that keeps getting sharper—with clearer benchmarks and stronger results.

The Systems That Power Every Campaign

Beauty campaigns only work when the creative, the data, and the execution all fire in sync.
Our system is built to do exactly that — combining creator intelligence, paid amplification, performance analytics, and high-volume content workflows into one engine.

These are the systems that let us scale storytelling, support retail partners, generate reuse-ready beauty content, and optimize every asset for performance.
Every campaign learns. Every round gets sharper. And every creator touchpoint becomes part of a system that compounds over time.
