How many makeup ads are running right now?
WhatScales tracks 795 live makeup ads from 30 brands as of November 12, 2026, including 103 launched in the last 7 days. The count covers the DTC brands we follow, not every advertiser.
Which brands run the most makeup ads?
Among the brands we track: PrimePrometics (88 ads), Jones Road Beauty (71 ads), Laura Geller (67 ads), Lash Glow (64 ads) and Wonderskin (61 ads).
What ad formats work for makeup brands?
Of the 721 makeup ads we have labelled by format, 42% are Static, 29% are UGC, 18% are Product demo and 5% are Founder. A format that brands keep running is a format that pays for itself.
How long do makeup ads run?
Half of the makeup ads we track have been live for more than 52 days. The longest-running one is from PrimePrometics and started 675 days ago. Brands turn off what loses money, so a long run is the best public sign that an ad works.
How are these makeup ads ranked?
Each brand's live ads are listed in Meta's Ad Library by impressions. WhatScales records that order every day, so "#1 of 49" means the ad Meta delivers most among the brand's 49 live ads. The page shows one ad per brand, the best placed first. Meta publishes no spend or revenue, and neither do we.
Can I see every ad, not only six?
Yes. A WhatScales account shows all of them as videos with filters by niche, format, hook and funnel stage, the transcript and creative read of each ad, and alerts when a brand you follow launches something new. It starts with a 7-day free trial.
