For beauty and makeup UGC creators
Link in bio for beauty and makeup UGC creators
Makeup brands want to see the product on your face, in motion. A Canva PDF of thumbnails doesn't show that. A portfolio that plays does.
ugcbios is built only for UGC creators: you sell content to brands, so your link leads with the work, not a follower count.
The buyer
What beauty brands are buying.
Beauty brands buy volume: many short variations for launches, shade ranges and seasonal drops. They want swatches, transformations and GRWM-style storytelling, and they whitelist heavily on TikTok via Spark Ads.

FAQ
Beauty UGC creator questions
Do I need a big following to get beauty UGC deals?
No. UGC is priced on the content, not your audience. Your page leads with your portfolio and rate card, and follower counts are optional.
Can brands see which videos are hook tests?
Yes. Tag the format "Hook test" and it shows on the video and in the filter chips.
