How Everyday Creators Are Transforming Beauty & Wellness Discovery
Why GRWM culture, everyday rituals, and real-life creators are shaping the next era of Beauty & Wellness marketing.
Beauty & wellness marketing has entered its “everyday era”
Beauty and wellness used to belong to the experts — the estheticians, derms, influencers with perfect lighting and perfect routines. But in 2025, the fastest-growing discovery engine in this category looks very different.
According to our State of Everyday Creators 2025 report, everyday creators now drive the majority of authentic discovery across beauty and wellness categories — especially through GRWM videos, “before-and-afters,” and simple routine content that feels real, not aspirational.
Shoppers don’t want to be influenced.
They want to relate.
And everyday creators give them exactly that.
Beauty Discovery Has Shifted from Perfection → Real Life
Our report highlights a key shift:
Consumers are craving content that feels real, imperfect, and rooted in everyday life.
Instead of influencers promoting 10-step routines and $300 serums, shoppers gravitate toward:
Moms fitting skincare into morning chaos
College students doing 5-minute GRWM videos
Real people demoing products exactly as they use them
Minimalist routines on bathroom counters, not studio sets
Hair, makeup, and skin content filmed in real lighting, real homes
Why this matters:
Real-life creators help shoppers see: “This product would work for me, in my actual life.”
That relatability drives conversion in a way highly polished beauty content no longer can.
GRWM Culture Is Now Powered by Everyday Creators
Our report calls out that GRWM (“Get Ready With Me”) continues to thrive, but it’s evolving.
Instead of aesthetic, choreographed videos, the most engaging GRWMs are:
Quick
Messy
Conversational
Honest
Shot on the fly
The winning formula?
Fast routines + real outcomes + real people.
This shift is huge for beauty brands — because everyday creators naturally produce the content formats consumers already trust the most.
Why Everyday Creators Thrive in Beauty & Wellness
1. They reflect real skin, real hair, real bodies
Consumers don’t just want diversity — they want authenticity.
Everyday creators show texture, imperfection, and unfiltered results.
2. Their routines feel achievable
No glam squad.
No ring lights.
No 45-minute edits.
Just real products used in real bathrooms.
3. Their recommendations feel like advice from a friend
Our report highlights this dynamic clearly:
Beauty shoppers trust everyday creators because their content mirrors the way people actually talk about products offline.
4. Their content performs across channels
Beauty teams reuse everyday creator content in:
TikTok
Instagram
Paid ads
Retail pages
PDPs
Email flows
Launch campaigns
Everyday creators make “multipurpose content” brands can scale.
Rising Trends: Everyday Rituals & Wellness Moments
Beauty is colliding with wellness.
The report identifies a trend toward ritual-based content — simple, soothing moments showing how a product fits into a user’s day.
Examples include:
A morning vitamin routine
A post-workout skincare reset
A Sunday bath ritual
A clean beauty swap-out
A “what’s in my gym bag” moment
A hydration or supplementation daily check-in
These small rituals aren’t aspirational — they’re repeatable.
And they give brands more use cases and more storytelling opportunities.
How Everyday Creators Improve Retail Performance in Beauty
The beauty aisle is noisy — and consumers are overwhelmed.
Everyday creators help brands stand out by showing:
Where the product lives on-shelf
How it actually looks on real skin
What results to expect
How to use it within a routine
Why they personally love it
This visibility creates the “final nudge” needed to drive discovery and in-store trial.
Beauty brands that activate everyday creators across multiple markets consistently see:
Higher retail awareness
Faster trial adoption
More authentic social buzz
Better UGC for paid campaigns
Stronger local word-of-mouth
The Bottom Line for Beauty & Wellness Marketers
Consumers aren’t loyal to influencers.
They’re loyal to people who feel like them.
Everyday creators give beauty and wellness brands:
Scalable authenticity
Real-life storytelling
Local relevance
High-performing short-form content
A trusted bridge between social and retail
In 2025, the brands winning attention in beauty and wellness aren’t the most polished — they’re the most human.
