Cosmetic brand analysis according to YouTube Trends:


Analysing YouTube content for Mac and Kylie cosmetics: (By Simran Kaur)
·       After analysing the YouTube trends for Kylie Cosmetics it is observed that Kylie cosmetics is not very active on YouTube as it is on other social media platforms. It only has 11 videos in total which is very less according to the no. of subscribers. They posted a video a month ago about their silver series brushes which had only 43K views. The video which had highest views were the glosses by Kylie Jenner. It had 14M views but it was posted a year ago.

Does Kylie Cosmetics use 50 50 rule over YouTube?
As per the analysis having only 11 videos on YouTube for a brand like Kylie does not satisfy the marketing rule of 50 50. They did post anything about their “Weather Collection” on their official YouTube channel which if posted should have gathered a great response form the viewers.
Does Mac Cosmetics use 50 50 rule over twitter?
As per Mac’s official YouTube channel they have 462 YouTube videos though they do not post about every new product coming up or any first impressions videos but the no. of videos has a very significant difference as compared the videos of Kylie’s YouTube channel. They do follow the 50 50 rule as compared to Kylie cosmetics but only till some extent.
Which is the most viewed video on YouTube?
·       Kylie cosmetic’s “glosses by Kylie Jenner” had 14M YouTube views which was posted a year ago followed by the “fall lip kits” which was posted 5 months ago had 4.6M YouTube views.

·       The fall lip kits also had a great response from the viewers with 4.6M views as it was kind of a first impressions video of all the lip colours in the fall lip kits collection.

·       Mac cosmetic’s “hack your eye shadow PREP+PRIME+FIX” video has 702K YouTube views these video shows the difference of the eye shadow colour with and without fix plus i.e. how the colour actually comes up in a metallic look after few sprays of the fix plus.
