WHY STATS
For high-end beauty brands, a single post becomes the brand image. We choose on fit, not follower count — does it look right sitting alongside the brand — with no agency favoritism. A discipline sharpened through work on international luxury brands.
We've handled many projects requiring global headquarters sign-off. We build decks that let someone who's never met the candidate make the call — rationale, post history, and data all in one place — and manage regulatory alignment through to approval.
No need for separate casting and production vendors. Selection, invitation, day-of operations and hosting, video and photo creative, post direction, and measurement all run through one team with one consistent tone — all the way to the post.
PLATFORMS
Swatches & texture
The core platform for swatches, texture close-ups, and finish comparisons — posts people save and revisit before buying. For high-end brands, the visual quality of a single post carries the brand image, so casting people who can hold the brand's world is the baseline.
Process, in depth
Long-form room for makeup processes and skincare routines. Because creators can show how a product fits into daily life, it builds brand understanding and trust in a way one-off mentions cannot.
Short-form reach
Honest short-form reviews and before-and-afters reach younger audiences fast. It is powerful for buzz, but expression varies widely — choosing creators who can keep the brand's tone matters most here.
SCOPE
From casting beauty influencers to inviting them to launch and touch-and-try events, hosting on the day, and running the SNS posts — we cover it end to end, or just the parts you need.
We shortlist candidates starting from whether their everyday voice on beauty matches the brand's world, verify with engagement rate, posting patterns, and follower age/gender data, and build a candidate deck ready for headquarters approval.
We handle invitations to launches, touch-and-try events, and openings, through RSVP management and day-of check-in. Our proprietary QR check-in system S/PASS needs no app and checks guests in within seconds.
On the day, we're on-site directing hospitality and the experience flow, and supporting photography — so the brand's own staff can focus on their guests while we handle the sequence that brings the world to life.
We direct posts through regulatory review and publication, then measure posting rate, reach, and engagement, feed it into a report, and use it to sharpen the next round of casting and design.

FAQ
Fit with the brand's world, over follower count. How the person talks about beauty day to day, whether their posts sit comfortably alongside the brand's tone, and the mood in their comments — because for high-end brands, a single post becomes the brand image. We then verify with objective data: engagement rate and follower age/gender split.
Yes. We handle candidate selection, invitations and RSVP management, day-of check-in, on-site hosting, and follow-up through to posting — all as one package. Our proprietary QR check-in system S/PASS gets guests into the experience without a wait. We also work on projects where a production company is already in place and we handle only casting and invitation.
Yes. We've handled many projects for international luxury brands — building candidate decks for approval, articulating why each person was chosen, and managing regulatory alignment. We assume headquarters has never met the candidates and build proposals with everything they need to decide.
We don't push agency favorites — candidates are chosen flat, on brand fit. Because how people talk about cosmetics varies widely — some go deep on ingredients and texture, others sell the finished look — we build around the voice that matches what the brand wants to say, then verify with engagement rate, posting patterns, and follower age/gender data.
Gifting for broad awareness; event invitation when you want people to understand the world deeply. Trying the scent, feeling the texture, hearing the story behind development — these show up in the intensity of the post. Our own records also show smaller, carefully hosted events tend to produce a higher guest posting rate. We can design a combination of both depending on the goal.
A measurement report is standard after every campaign. We track whether invited guests posted, reach, and engagement, and record what worked in numbers. Because each new proposal builds on the last campaign's results, casting and design get sharper the longer we work together.
It does. Drugstore cosmetics reward broad reach and volume of reviews, while for luxury beauty — department-store cosmetics and fragrance — the texture of a single post feeds directly into brand image. The design centers on narrowing to people who sit naturally next to the brand's world and building high-heat posts around launch events and touch-and-try experiences. The weight of process, head-office approval included, differs as well.
Guide ・ 1 min read
Influencer marketing in the beauty industry means engaging creators who can speak about texture and real-world results in their own words, moving consumers from awareness to purchase consideration through their posts.
In this category, people search social media for reviews before they ever reach a counter — posts feed directly into purchase decisions. In luxury beauty especially — department-store cosmetics and fragrance — protecting the brand image comes before volume of exposure, so the work centers on casting that holds the brand's world intact and on experience-led design: launch events and touch-and-try sessions that give creators something real to talk about.
Keys to Casting and Planning
What matters first is how a creator talks about beauty day to day, and whether their visual quality sits naturally beside the brand. Only then do we verify with objective data — engagement rate and follower demographics.
Touching a texture, smelling a fragrance, hearing the development story — experiences show up in the energy of the resulting posts. Our own campaign records show smaller, carefully hosted events tend to produce higher posting rates among attendees.
Cosmetics efficacy claims are regulated under Japan's Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act. We build pre-publication expression checks and regulation alignment into the workflow, protecting both brand and creator.
We measure posting rates, reach, and engagement, and feed the results into the next round of casting and planning. Being able to set expectations from actual records — not intuition — compounds in value the longer we work together.
