Brand deals for beauty creators, run your way
Plug Pro is the back office for beauty creators who source their own brand deals. Track gifted PR boxes in your pipeline, turn the ones worth it into priced packages, and ship every GRWM or tutorial with a usage certificate that prices whitelisting and paid ads. Brands pay you directly, for one flat monthly price and no per-deal fee.

Turn PR boxes into paid
Beauty runs on gifted first. Track every seeding drop in your pipeline and convert the ones worth paying for into a priced deal — without losing the thread between the free box and the paid post.
Whitelisting, in writing
Beauty brands love running your face as an ad. Attach a usage certificate that spells out organic vs. paid, whitelisting, and term — so 'can we boost this?' has a scope and a price, not a guess.
Keep 100%
Flat monthly price, zero per-deal fee. Your skincare, makeup, or haircare rate is yours — the brand pays you directly through your own accounts. No cut, no payout hold.
How does a beauty brand deal run on Plug Pro?
You already landed the brand — the DM, the PR list, the inbound reply. This is everything after the yes.
Package the deal
Turn your GRWM, tutorial, or first-impressions haul into a priced package the brand can approve in one tap — deliverables, revisions, and shade or skin-type notes included.
Send a preview
Post a watermarked cut for sign-off so the brand can check the shade match and any 'clean' or 'derm-tested' claims before the master ever ships.
Release with rights
Hand over the final with a verifiable usage certificate attached — organic, paid ads, whitelisting, and term all spelled out, so a seasonal launch doesn't turn into a rights fight.
Get paid direct
The brand pays you directly through your own Stripe, PayPal, or Venmo. No escrow, no per-deal fee — the full rate is yours.
Whitelisting, in writing
A Plug-stamped certificate spells out organic vs. paid, whitelisting, and term — so “can we boost this?” has a scope and a price, not a guess.

Keep 100% vs handing a beauty agency a cut
The math on the deals you already source yourself, run through your own back office.
What do beauty brands pay creators for?
Four briefs that come up in almost every beauty deal, and what each one is worth before usage rights.
GRWM or tutorial
The product inside a real routine, talking to camera, 30 to 60 seconds. The bread-and-butter beauty brief; shade, skin type, and finish called out on screen.
First impressions unboxing
A PR box opened on camera with an honest first reaction. Usually gifted first; the third box from the same brand is the moment to quote the paid version.
Before-and-after over weeks
Skincare and haircare brands pay for a two-to-four-week diary: same light, same angle, dated clips. The one format a studio cannot shoot, so it prices at the top of your band.
Whitelisted ad cut
The same video, re-cut for the brand to run from your handle. Priced as a separate usage line, never folded into the content rate.
Questions, answered
Does Plug Pro take a cut of my beauty brand deals?
No. A gifted PR box that turns into a paid GRWM and a whitelisted ad campaign cost you the same flat monthly subscription, because Plug Pro charges zero per-deal fees. You set your skincare, makeup, or haircare rate, the beauty brand pays you directly through your own accounts, and you keep 100%.
How do I charge for whitelisting and paid ads?
Attach a usage certificate to the delivery that lists organic vs. paid, whitelisting, and term. When a beauty brand wants to run your face as an ad, the scope and price are defined up front instead of a vague 'can we boost this?' later.
Can I track gifted and PR before it turns into a paid deal?
Yes. Log every seeding drop in your pipeline and convert the ones worth paying for into a priced package — so you never lose the thread between the free PR box and the paid post it becomes.
Do I need to bring my own brands?
Yes — that's the point. Plug Pro doesn't route brands to you; it's the back office for the deals you source through DMs, PR lists, and inbound. You source them, so the full rate stays yours.
How much do beauty UGC creators charge per video?
Starting bands from our rates guide, single video with organic use: $25–$75 while you are new, $75–$150 with delivered work to show, $150–$300 with a track record. Paid-ad usage adds about 50% and whitelisting about 70% on top. Beauty sits at the higher end of those bands because whitelisting is so common; the beauty rates guide has the full grid.
How do I get beauty PR packages and turn them into paid deals?
Make your profile seedable with a niche in the bio and three clean product videos, then ask small brands directly with a clip attached. Deliver the gifted post well, send the numbers, and ask for a rate in the same thread. The PR packages guide and the free-products guide on this site walk through it step by step.
