Beauty artists, save this before you post your next Reel. 📌
I’m getting close to 10,000 real followers, and one thing I’ve learned is that creating good work is not enough if the right people never see it.
If you’re a PMU artist, SMP artist, brow artist, tattoo artist, aesthetician or beauty professional, there are Instagram settings many creators completely overlook that may affect how your content can be discovered and shared.
In this video, I’m showing you some of the settings I personally check and use on my account to give my content the best possible chance of reaching people outside my existing followers.
But remember: settings alone won’t make a Reel go viral.
You still need content that makes people stop, watch, save, share or comment.
What has helped me grow?
1. I stopped posting just to stay active. Every post needs a reason to exist.
2. I started thinking about who I want Instagram to show my content to, not only what I want to post.
3. I learned that the first 1–2 seconds can decide whether someone keeps watching or scrolls away.
4. I started sharing more than just before & after results. Education, mistakes, techniques, behind the scenes and personality give people a reason to follow.
5. I stopped trying to reach everyone. I want to reach the right people: clients, students and professionals within the beauty industry.
6. I stayed consistent even when some posts didn’t perform the way I expected.
Almost 10K real followers later, I’m still learning, testing and improving.
So if you work in beauty, permanent makeup, microblading, brows, scalp micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, follow me. I’ll be sharing more of what I’ve learned about growing your beauty business, creating better content and building your brand on Instagram.
SAVE this Reel so you can check your settings later, and SEND it to another beauty artist who needs to see this.
What is harder for you right now: getting views or turning views into followers? 👇
