How to Use This List

Option 1: Smart Brand Matching

Not sure which brands are the best fit for you? Our Smart Brand Discovery tool analyzes your content niche and matches you with brands from our database that align with your style. Describe what you create, and we'll show you your top matches with compatibility scores.

Option 2: Generate a Pitch

Pick any brand on CollabFeed and we'll generate a personalized pitch for you. Our pitch generator analyzes the brand's real campaign data and writes a pitch tailored to what they're actually looking for.

No generic templates. Real data, real pitches.

Option 3: Do It Yourself

If you prefer to write your own pitches:

1. Start with niche fit. Don't pitch skincare brands if your content is all about nail art.
2. Study their current campaigns. Look at what content they're running right now on CollabFeed.
3. Reference new launches. Brands spend more at launch — mentioning their latest product shows you've done your homework.

What's Trending Right Now

Based on what we tracked this month:

Skincare still leads everything. 44 of the partnerships we tracked are skincare, more than makeup and haircare combined. SPF and hydration content is picking up fast as spring arrives.

TikTok beauty is getting bigger numbers. Benefit Cosmetics hit 984K views, Ole Henriksen hit 434K, Shark Beauty cracked 200K twice. The biggest reach is happening on TikTok, especially for beauty tools and skincare.

K-beauty brands are expanding. Medicube, TIRTIR, Rael, HARUHARU WONDER, I'M FROM — Korean brands are actively spending on Western creators. If you cover K-beauty, there's less competition and more opportunity.

Indian market stays busy. Lakmé, Pond's, Bajaj Almond Drops, Nihar Naturals, Parachute — all running India-specific campaigns with strong reach. Bajaj Almond Drops hit 795K views.

Men's beauty is growing. Dr. Squatch and Tiege Hanley are actively spending on male creators. If you're a male creator doing skincare or grooming content, this space is wide open.
