What You Need to Know
Beauty hashtags fall into four main tiers. Mega hashtags (#makeup, #beauty, #skincare) have 100M+ posts — great for category placement but nearly impossible to rank in. Mid-range hashtags (#makeuptutorial, #skincareRoutine, #glowup) have 1M–50M posts and offer a balance of reach and competition. Niche hashtags (#cleanbeauty, #koreanskincare, #naturalmakeup) have under 1M posts and attract highly targeted, engaged audiences. Community hashtags (#beautyblogger, #makeupjunkie, #skincareaddict) connect you with the beauty creator community.
The most effective beauty hashtag strategy combines all four tiers. Use 2–3 mega tags for broad placement, 4–5 mid-range tags for your specific content type, 3–4 niche tags for your aesthetic or technique, and 1–2 community tags to connect with fellow creators.
Beauty brands actively monitor hashtags to find UGC creators and brand ambassadors. Using brand-specific hashtags (#narsfrance, #charlottetilbury, #cerave) and product hashtags (#ceravemoisturizer, #elfcosmetics) puts your content directly in front of brand social media teams. Many beauty creator partnerships start with a brand discovering a creator through hashtags.
