Hi loves!

Waepril here. I’m back again with another very insightful blog today, and I am sure you will love it. Today’s post is about my personal journey to becoming one of the top beauty influencers, along with a little more on some of the most famous makeup influencers on TikTok, who should be on every makeup lover’s list. Read on as I uncover more throughout the blog.

When I first joined TikTok, I had no idea that the beauty community would become one of its biggest drivers. From quick product reviews to short makeup tutorials, thanks to TikTok, we have a whole new way of discovering new makeup. I also have had a great opportunity to grow my own community @april_waepril through TikTok, where I share new makeup hacks, tips, and my newest tries. I am really honored to have become one of the top beauty influencers on the platform, having reached a milestone of 16.1K followers.

But what is more exciting is that I am a part of a community of such great beauty influencers who are working to revolutionize how every one of us perceives beauty. Each day, we are inspiring millions of people, helping them feel confident and happy about themselves.

Why TikTok Makeup Influencers Matter

Before TikTok, there were very few platforms where you could upload short 15-30 second videos. Now, let’s be honest, no one has the time to sit through a 1-hour or even a 30-minute video tutorial or makeup review on YouTube, unless that is what you intend to watch. With TikTok’s innovative format of short videos and its global reach, beauty influencers like myself have found a way to fit into people’s busy schedules.

 

Today, anyone commuting to work or casually doomscrolling through TikTok can pick up a makeup tip or trick. Through short tutorials and makeup hack videos, influencers have truly democratized makeup and beauty culture. The impact has been so significant that makeup sales have soared. In 2024 alone, as many as 73% of buyers discovered a product on TikTok. Brands like CeraVe and RMS Beauty owe much of their success to platforms like TikTok.

Multiple brands are collaborating with famous makeup influencers on TikTok to advertise their products. These influencers are shaping global beauty trends with makeup challenges, trying on viral products, promoting dupe culture, and creating transition and GRWM videos. There is something unique about TikTok’s beauty influencers, their ability to connect with everyday consumers so easily. Not only do they share honest reviews and highlight the best products available, but they also take the lead in trying new things first, sparing viewers the hassle.

The Top Famous Beauty Influencers on TikTok

Now, coming to the real question – with so many beauty influencers on TikTok, not all of them are offering you genuine content. So who actually is? Who should you follow to get your hands on the real deal? Here is my curated list of the top beauty influencers who will add just the right amount of glitter and glamour your feed needs.

Mikayla Nogueira (@mikaylanogueira)

Mikayla Nougueira is an American beauty influencer who has been active on TikTok since 2020. If you are looking for something genuine, she should definitely be on your list. She is well known for her honest product testing, bold reviews, and viral makeup hacks that actually deliver results.

Abby Roberts (@abbyroberts)

She is a UK-based creator who always has something fresh and unique to bring to the table. She gained recognition mainly for her hyper-detailed transitions. With her creative and artistic tutorials, including horror and drag-inspired makeup, she adds real drama to makeup.

This guy really understands makeup, with a bold and no-filter personality, and absolutely trendsetting looks. He catches your interest and makes the whole process simple and lighthearted.

Waepril Chua (@april_waepril)

And finally, on the list of these famous makeup influencers on TikTok is me, Waepril! Most of you have seen my TikTok and Instagram, where, in my tutorials, I try to mix skincare with beauty, ensuring that your skin glows effortlessly from within. My idea has been simple: helping people make the most of makeup with simple elements and tricks, without sacrificing much.

Becoming one of the top creators on Tiktok has been really honoring, and I am grateful for getting this chance to share my journey with you.

What Sets these Influencers Apart

As I mentioned earlier, there are many beauty influencers out there on TikTok, but only a few have become truly loved. What sets them apart is their ability to offer fresh and genuine content. What they create is not only interesting and educational, but also relatable. Many influencers post tutorials that are either too difficult to follow or, at times, not entirely authentic. They might show something on camera, but the final results often involve additional steps that are left out.

Real influencers such as Mikayla Nogueira, Danessa Myricks, and I are working not just to gain followers, but to build a community of inspired and confident people who can benefit from the makeup and skincare industry.

Final Thoughts

While many people didn’t anticipate it, TikTok and similar platforms have really helped make beauty accessible to people from all walks of life. Through genuine content and real insights, the top and famous makeup influencers on TikTok have brought about a meaningful transformation in many lives. Whether through tutorials, tips, or reviews, they not only influence and simplify global beauty trends but also inspire many others.
