Where do you consume beauty content?
Most beauty content I consume is via a digital landscape. I watch content creators on YouTube that share their beauty regiments and channels like Vogue that share celebrity beauty routines a well.

I also follow content creators on Instagram that share their routines less frequently on their stories or reels, or cross promote on these platforms. I follow more beauty brands on Instagram though and am up to date on product launches, collabs, etc. I would give an honorable mention to hearing about beauty products on podcasts, via commercials (digital and traditional) and in store at target, ulta, Marshall’s, TJ maxx, etc.
