Why it works

The shrinking lineup works as a progress bar, so viewers stay to see what is left. curlyscents, definitelytai and thearodshow all lined the bottles up before the first pick.

Hook formula[Number] [products] for [occasion]. Watch the table empty.

How to make it

  1. 1Line up all items before you speak
  2. 2Hide or blur them if you want a tease
  3. 3Pick one up or remove it as you review it
  4. 4Save the last item for the end

What’s working in beauty this week

How this is measured

  • Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
  • TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
  • A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
  • Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
