Benchmarks

Top makeup influencers: engagement and audience benchmarks

The median and ranges across this ranking, so you can tell a genuinely strong makeup creator from an average one.

2,451creators indexed483Kmedian followers3.40%median engagement18.9%avg suspicious followers

The top makeup influencers run a median engagement rate of 3.40% and average 18.9% suspicious followers. Treat 3.40% as the bar a strong makeup creator should clear; below it, you are paying for reach, not attention.

The best makeup influencers here span 0 nano or micro and 10 macro accounts, covering both cost-efficient gifting and broad-reach launches. Audiences concentrate in United States (30%), Brazil (10%), India (10%), skewing female at 72%.

How this list is built. These are Instagram creators who describe themselves using terms like makeup, mua, makeup artist in their own bio. 2,451 accounts matched. We rank them on a blend of engagement rate, suspicious-follower share and reach, then publish the top 20. Figures are a snapshot taken on Jul 2026 and are frozen between refreshes, so the order you see is the order everyone sees.

FAQ

Makeup influencers on Instagram: common questions

How do I find makeup influencers on Instagram?

Manual hashtag searching works but surfaces whoever posts most, not whoever performs best. Filtering an index is faster: Leewou holds 2,451 makeup creators on Instagram and lets you narrow by follower range, engagement rate, audience country and suspicious-follower share. The 20 listed here are the top of that set on our ranking, and the full list is in the app.

Who are the top makeup influencers on Instagram right now?

On this ranking, Anya Innes (@i.an.ya.i), Daleyza beauty (@daleyzabeauty_), شذى / shada alnaas (@serenasrosess). The ordering blends engagement rate, audience quality and reach rather than follower count alone, which is why a smaller account can outrank a larger one. Data was last refreshed in Jul 2026.

What counts as a good engagement rate for makeup creators?

Use the set you are actually buying from as the benchmark, not a global average. Across these makeup influencers, the median engagement rate is 3.40% at a median of 483K followers. Anything meaningfully above that median is doing better than its peers at the same size; anything well below is worth a second look before you pay for reach.

Are these follower counts real?

Not entirely, and that is true of every Instagram list. Across this group, an average of 18.9% of followers show signs of being fake or inactive. We publish that figure on every card instead of hiding it, so you can discount reach estimates before you negotiate. Anything above 30% is worth auditing manually before you commit budget.

Can I see contact details and full audience data for these creators?

Not on this page: it is a public preview. Inside Leewou you get the full audience breakdown (age, gender, country, city, interests, credibility), historical growth, content performance and email unlocks, plus the ability to save creators to shared lists and monitor their campaign posts. The trial runs 14 days with no card required.
