the life of social media users. By means of influencers, these apps have been utilized as an advertising tool to target a better audience (Belanche et. al, 2019). Furthermore, companies from other sectors employ social media tools as, like Instagram's features, they allow these firms to develop visual material for their target market. (Burke, 2019) Customers have embraced this form of campaign since it involves them to "copresent" with the company and
product under promotion. It entitles them to share privileged knowledge with their loved ones (Chen, 2018). The success of these marketing initiatives results from the activity that verifies, strengthens and supports a user's identification via these brands (Lampe et. al, 2011; Papacharissi & Mendelson 2011; Bazarova et. al, 2013). Consequently, social media channels could help the cosmetic and cosmetics sector. Especially, by focusing on women's
emotions and sales reaction (Hassan, 2014). According to findings of a research on Instagram users between the ages of 18 and 34, source beauty, competence, and trustworthiness must be present if one wants to raise customer buy intention.Weismuller, et al. 2020. Moreover, carried out using SEM, conventional advertising, and social media have

Identification of notable bloggers depends on the ability to change public opinion.Khan & Saima 2020 The term "sway" helps to
explain how influence shapes pre-existing ideas and beliefs, which businesses—big or smallor even local brands use influencer power.Using sponsorship disclosure labels helps marketing initiatives either tacitly or explicitly mark postings as such.These labels help consumers choose ads, which could set off their awareness of persuasion (Van Dam & Van Reijmersdal, 2020; Kim et. al, 2021). This concept presents that people can build their
personal knowledge on persuasion and the identification of persuasive strategies. Thus, once these efforts are observed, consumers analyze, assess, and respond to the persuasion by employing this knowledge (Christiandl & Muller, 2019; Stubb & Colliander, 2019). Carr & Hayes (2014) showed, on the other hand, that an objective disclosure in a campaign would lower opinions of credibility than a post including a thorough disclosure. Regarding the brand

product reviews, disclosure data by itself proved to have no influence. Furthermore, a little comment like "this post is not sponsored" lowers customer skepticism, therefore improving the source and product-review credibility (Stubb & Colliander, 2018). Finally, the Influencer Enhancement Effect is another drawback connected to a sponsorship disclosure. The latter element vanished with the disclosure, so its influence did not follow customers who came
across the message. But when disclosure was omitted, the good impact of an influencer's story just showed at that moment (Muller & Christandl, 2019; De Cicco et. al, 2019).

These factors range from readily measurable measures like page views/engagements and/or search engine ranking to challenging-to-quantify criteria like quality of content (Glucksman, 2017). Moreover, given the great scope of influencer marketing, marketers may find it challenging to identify and choose the right
influencers (De Veirman et. al, 2017). Another issue is that consumers can select which influencers to follow and only let a small number of influencers to affect their choices (Hsu et. al, 2013). Brands associate their marketing campaign with the type of post they utilize to understand how their audience reacts to it. It is vital to consider that social media interaction has a significant effect on campaign strategy and advertising to understand campaign
among the different groups of audiences in the new media environment (Hair et. al, 2017). Early evidence indicates that the use of shareable content integrated into influencer marketing can result in an enhancement in audience engagement and campaign reach (Ashley & Tuten, 2015; Vallone et. al, 2016). Content with over 2 million tweets has discovered that a tweet with a photo incorporated received an increase 35% in retweets, 28% increase on video, and an
increase of 17% on the use of hashtags in retweet activity (Rogers, 2014).
