The Worst of Makeup PR Search Twitter


Posts: 9409

 So, a lot of makeup brands are now doing PR searches through social media. 

(PR Search: Looking for talented makeup artists to promote their products on social media for them, by sending them literally all the makeup the brand makes- a makeup junkie dream come true) 

It creates a lot of buzz and hype surrounding a brand when they kick one off, which obviously generates free advertising and marketing, and revenue for the brand. 

 

Makeup twitter: the side of twitter that literally is all just MUA's/ aspiring MUA's posting their looks 

 

So, whenever a brand kicks off a PR search they enlist in makeup twitter to submit their looks, and whoever has the best looks is more likely to be selected to receive the ever so coveted PR! AKA heaps of free ass makeup + promotion from the brand (in turn for you promoting them and their products- for free). 

 

I find it comical when I come across people who entered in the search who clearly can't do makeup at all (yet). You're scrolling through pages and pages of talent and amazing work, each artist has, years of developing skill and knowledge under their belt- trying to be not the best but the most excellent makeup artist out there. 

 

And then you see this.

And it's kind of amusing. 

 

So without further ado, The hilariously bad submissions, of makeup twitter. An ever-growing list, I assure you.

On a real note, I love everyone this is no tea no shade. Everyone is valid in loving makeup. 

Talent doesn't beat work, if talent doesn't work hard. 

If you love something, develop that skill, pour yourself into it and you will improve with time. 

 

A lot of these people are probably just getting started and they have the confidence to pull it together and give something their best shot and I applaud that. That is more than some people can manage. 

And that confidence will take them far in their craft as they learn and grow. Which I'm here for and would love to see each of these people do. 

We all have room for improvement and to show marked progress and there is nothing wrong with that. No one wakes up being Beyonce's makeup artist skill level. It takes time. 

There aren't a lot of people that will be honest about criticism but this is how we learn. I've had to take my fair share of it in life, and once you learn to make it constructive, really the only thing that can stand in your own way at that point is yourself.
