Happy Pride Month! The top queer skinfluencers to follow now
In recent years, social media has revolutionized our perception of beauty, challenging traditional norms and bringing about a more diverse and inclusive beauty world. One significant factor contributing to this transformation? The vibrant and influential community of LGBTQIA+ skinfluencers. Through their unique stories and passion for all things beauty, they’ve created a vibrant online space that embraces and empowers people from all walks of life.
With their authentic voices, LGBTQIA+ beauty influencers help to ignite conversations about selfcare, skincare routines and personal journeys of self-acceptance, all the while helping others navigate their own paths to self-discovery. Whether it’s through TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, they share invaluable insights, product recommendations and relatable stories, fostering a sense of belonging within the beauty community. It’s something all beauty lovers can appreciate, whether you’re part of the LGBTQIA or stand as an ally.
Ahead, meet six LGBTQIA+ beauty influencers to follow ASAP:
Koosha Nouri
The LA-based creator is beloved on TikTok for his fun and entertaining videos in which he frequently shares GRWMs, grooming tips, fragrance picks and more. His shaving and beard-trimming videos are helpful for anyone with facial hair, despite gender or sexuality.
@kooshaaa I get this question more than you think 🥲 in reality makeup wipes just spread your makeup all over your face and do not effectively cleanse your skin by themselves! If you insist on using a wipe always follow with a facewash- but I always recommend a double cleanse with a balm or oil first for best results! #makeupwipes #skincaremistakes #doublecleanse #skincaretips ♬ оригинальный звук – Tip me

Prefer getting your skincare advice from a professional? The Skinfiltrator needs to be on your feed. The British esthetician and beautician began creating skincare content as a way to combat her mental health issues during lockdown, and has become an inspiring source of representation for the Black LGBTQIA+ community. Monique’s TikTok is a treasure trove of helpful tips, as she shares honest thoughts about hyped-up ingredients, product reviews and how certain sunscreens look on melanated skin.
