"The influence of beauty content creators is still huge, with Nikkie de Jager, Bretman Rock, and James Charles topping the list of the most powerful beauty influencers," shared Cosmetify beauty expert, Carly Cochrane.
"Their reach and impact show just how important the relationship between social media and beauty continues to be."
When it comes to influencers, Nikkie de Jager leads with a combined following of 42.7 million across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and the highest estimated combined earnings per post at £49,000.
Nikkie is a Dutch make-up artist and beauty vlogger popularly known for her YouTube channel, NikkieTutorials. She gained international fame with her YouTube channel, sharing make-up tutorials, beauty tips, and personal vlogs.
Following closely is Bretman Rock, with a slightly higher combined following of 43.93 million but lower estimated earnings per post at £42,800. This is because estimated earnings are influenced by engagement rates, not just follower counts.
Bretman Rock is a Filipino-American social media personality, beauty influencer, and content creator known for his vibrant personality, humorous videos, and make-up tutorials.
Third place goes to James Charles, with a combined following of over 83 million, the highest on the list, and estimated earnings of £42,500 across the three platforms.
