How BrandHype Used Creator Marketing to Grow Solura Cosmetics

Solura Cosmetics, an Indian beauty brand, partnered with BrandHype Solutions to grow awareness and trust through creator-led content instead of traditional beauty advertising.

Objective

The Objective

Build awareness and purchase consideration for Solura Cosmetics among Indian beauty consumers using creator content that feels like a recommendation, not an ad.

Challenge

The Challenge

Beauty is one of India's most crowded D2C categories. Shoppers are skeptical of polished brand advertising, and new brands struggle to earn trust next to established names. Solura needed believable voices demonstrating the product — not more brand-shot creative.

Strategy

The Strategy

BrandHype built a creator-led campaign around authentic product demonstration: beauty creators showing real application, honest texture and shade reviews, and routine integrations. The strategy prioritized trust and saves/shares over raw impressions, with content designed to answer the questions buyers actually ask before purchasing.

Creator & Channel Selection

Creators were selected from BrandHype's network of 10,000+ creators for genuine beauty-category credibility — skincare and makeup creators whose audiences match Solura's target customer, screened for engagement authenticity rather than follower size.
