How Much Does a Beauty YouTuber with 100K Subscribers Make?
Reaching 100K subscribers on a beauty channel is a milestone that genuinely changes what brands are willing to pay. While AdSense income at this size is modest ($160–$480/month), the brand deal opportunities that open up at 100K make this a realistic income milestone for beauty creators.
What these numbers mean for beauty & fashion creators
Beauty channels at 100K subscribers access a wide range of sponsors — from drugstore makeup brands with smaller budgets to premium skincare companies with larger ones. Engagement rate is the critical variable at this size: a beauty channel with 100K subscribers and 6% engagement can often negotiate higher deal rates than one with 200K subscribers and 1.5% engagement because brands have learned that engagement predicts conversion better than raw subscriber count.
What to expect
Beauty brand deals at 100K subscribers typically pay $800–$2,500 per mid-roll integration. The range reflects the sponsor category: a premium skincare brand launching a new product may pay $2,000–$3,000, while a drugstore brand promoting an existing product pays $500–$1,000. Having a clear content niche within beauty (e.g. drugstore dupes, K-beauty, clean beauty) makes you more targetable and often leads to higher rates.
