Ranking method

CA Influence Index™ (CII): how we grade US beauty creator influencers

CII is a market-relative score from 0 to 99. It combines local audience fit, engagement against creators of the same size, average Reel views, and estimated real-audience share. The creators above are ordered by this score, not by follower count.

25%of the score

Audience fit

How much of the audience sits in the US beauty creator market. Full marks once 80% of it is there.

30%of the score

Engagement

Likes and comments against creators of the same size here. Full marks at 3x that median.

30%of the score

View power

Average Reel views against follower count. Full marks at twice the following.

15%of the score

Audience quality

Share of followers reading as real people. Full marks at 90%.

Engagement is scored against the US beauty creator median for a creator’s own size: around 0.8% under 50K followers, around 0.6% above 250K. Both are rounded, because the study measures them by search rather than by census.

  • A+90-99
  • A80-89
  • B65-79
  • C50-64
  • Dunder 50

The score is capped at 99 so it never implies certainty. Read the full CA Influence Index methodology. The benchmark is local, not global. Here is the market behind it.

Market benchmark

The American Instagram market behind this ranking

We measured the whole American Instagram market first: 927,095 accounts with at least 10K followers. 16,477 of them name "beauty" in their own bio, and the 25 below were selected from that group.

How the selected 25 compare with the American Instagram market

Pink = the 25 US beauty creator influencers above.

Grey = every American Instagram account we measure with at least 10,000 followers, all 927,095 of them.

Each bar is the share that clears the threshold, so a longer pink bar means more of the shortlist clears it than of the market.

Audience at least 60% based in United States

Source: the Click Analytic American creator market study of 927,095 Instagram accounts, measured 2026-09-06. The market side is read from that study; the shortlist side is computed from the cards above.

Why Metri Nunley-Lash is the #1 US beauty creator

Metri Nunley-Lash tops this ranking with a CA Influence Index of 88 (A), the top score in a pool of 927,095 US Instagram accounts with 10,000+ followers.

The score breaks down like this

  • Audience in United States92.0%100/100
  • Engagement against the market median for this size5.91%, 10.6x100/100
  • Average Reels reach against follower count1.4x68/100
  • Share of the audience that is real72%80/100

No other account in this pool combines all four at this level.

Brand fit

Best brand fits for US beauty creator influencers

Brand fit here is inferred from what these creators actually post and who manages them, not from any logged sponsorship history.

Color cosmetics and makeup
Best fit

The makeup artists post applied looks and swatches, a natural fit for foundation, lip, and palette launches.

Skincare and ingredient led brands
Best fit

Skincare educators and the cosmetic chemists on the list review formulations and routines in detail.

Retail beauty programs
Strong

Several name Sephora Squad or Ulta Beauty collective ties in their bios, useful for retailer led pushes.

Tools and devices
Good

Technique heavy creators demonstrate application well, which suits brushes, applicators, and at home devices.

Haircare
Niche

A few cover soft glam plus hair, so haircare can fit selected creators rather than the whole list.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers on how the field was found, how it differs from our fashion page and what the index weighs.

01How were these 25 US beauty influencers chosen?

We started from the 927,095 US-based Instagram accounts we track and kept the 16,477 between 20,000 and 1,000,000 followers that name beauty in their own bio. 863 of those hold at least half their audience in the United States while clearing our engagement, audience quality, Reel view and recency floors. The largest 50 were exported, eleven already published on our fashion or fitness pages were excluded, and the 25 here are ranked by the CA Influence Index.

02How is this different from your US fashion page?

Both are drawn from the same market and many creators name both words in their bio. Where an account appears on our fashion page it is not repeated here: eleven of the fifty we exported were excluded for that reason. If you are briefing across both, read the two pages as one field of fifty rather than two of twenty-five.

03Why does the American audience share matter so much here?

Because beauty products ship in a market. On this page the American share runs from 57 to 97 percent, and eleven of the 25 sit above 88 percent. An account with 900,000 followers and a 57 percent domestic share is selling to 380,000 people who cannot buy from your US launch.

04How do you decide someone is a beauty creator?

They do. The filter reads the creator's own bio for the word beauty, so every account here has described itself that way. That is why the page holds a law student, a Netflix actor and a 55-year-old author alongside makeup and skincare accounts.

05Who was removed by hand?

A vintage clothing gallery, which is a shop rather than a person, and eleven creators already published on our US fashion and fitness pages.

06How current is this?

Every account posted within 30 days of the Sep 6, 2026 snapshot. Follower counts, engagement, Reel views and audience shares are read at that date and move week to week at this size, so re-check before a campaign.
