Pop stars and influencers
If the first two places on the podium are identical to those of the previous year, an unprecedented personality enters the "top 3": Selena Gomez with her make-up brand Rare Beauty, which obtains the very good score of 8.97 /10. This is one of the most impressive progressions in this ranking, since it only occupied 18th place in 2021. While Rare Beauty mainly owes its success to the quality of its products (many of them are gone viral on TikTok and are regularly out of stock), it is also the values of inclusivity that the artist advocates on social networks, and his authentic make-up tutorials, which have contributed to this.

However, it is followed by a brand less known to the general public, Abnormaly Hair Care.
