So this influencer occasionally comes in my feed where she just classifies if the new launches seem interesting enough for her to try it. In a previous post she wasn’t really into the new prada blushes, but the minute she gets a PR package from Prada, the colours are nice and the blushes are stackable!
She did address her previous post and how she would never buy it with her own money, which makes me think what is the world up to? Lying on people’s faces to just get free pigments from a specific brand, which you do already own in some form or another?
It just baffles me that a whole shade range of complexion products are sent to influencers. What is the point of having R&D if you can’t even determine which shade would look good on a particular skin tone? Brands just love going overboard to get clicks through influencers and the beauty content creation just feels like a circle jerk between the brands and influencers while the real consumers are pushed aside.
What do you all think?

I mean if she admits that she wouldn’t spend her own money, I think that’s fair.
You can have a fun experience with a product and still admit it isn’t worth the money. Something being overpriced doesn’t mean it’s not fun.
I’ve seen influencers fairly left-coded go all in and praise Nikki Minaj perfume once they receive it as PR.
They either don’t know or they don’t care
I don’t understand your issue with the shade range. They will have worked out if its more economical for them to produce 3 different PR sets with different ranges and select who gets which one or to just mail out one package to all. This stuff is far cheaper for them to manufacture than it is for us to buy
I’m a recent viewer of Maddie as well but I felt like her perspective on the topic is fair? She confirmed it was pr, that she think the concept of the packaging is fun but should feel less like cheeper plastic in some sections and that she wouldn’t buy the item with her own money due to not thinking the cost is worth it. It came across like an honest review and tbh I was slightly interested in the product before but am happy to have a bit more of a rounded idea of what it actually is/ feels like and the cons of why it’s not worth it
I used to like her, but then I felt like she began playing the airhead card.
