Inviting members to recommend resources taps into the collective expertise of your makeup community. When people share what works for them, it not only provides practical value but also makes members feel seen and appreciated for their knowledge. This collaborative approach encourages even quieter members to join in, as recommending a resource is less intimidating than giving personal advice.
From a psychological perspective, resource sharing builds trust and fosters a sense of belonging. Members realize that they are part of a group where information flows freely and everyone benefits. This helps turn your community into a go-to hub for reliable makeup tips and recommendations, increasing long-term engagement and loyalty.

To use these templates, simply pick one that fits your community's theme or current discussion. Post it as a prompt in your group or forum, then engage with the replies by thanking contributors and asking follow-up questions. Encourage members to explain why they recommend each resource and how it helped them. Consider pinning especially useful resource threads for easy future reference.
On all platforms, use tagging or pinning features to highlight valuable resource threads. Make it easy for members to add links, images, or short reviews. Encourage follow-up questions in the comments to keep discussions lively.
You can craft posts that specifically invite members to share their favorite indie or lesser-known makeup brands, using targeted prompts from the templates. For example, ask members which indie lipstick formulas outperform mainstream options, or encourage sharing hidden gem eyeshadow palettes. This not only broadens members’ horizons but also supports smaller brands within the makeup industry.
Utilize template prompts that focus on technique-driven resource needs, such as 'Can anyone recommend a brush that’s perfect for blending out cream contour?' or 'What’s your go-to tool for achieving a flawless cut crease?' This ensures recommendations are relevant and actionable for members looking to refine their application skills.
Set clear guidelines for resource recommendations, asking members to cite reputable sources or personal experiences, and to avoid making unverified safety claims about ingredients. When reviewing responses, watch for common misconceptions (like 'all talc is unsafe') and be prepared to step in with factual information from trusted cosmetic science sources.
Absolutely. Use the templates to prompt members to recommend valuable professional resources, such as online courses for makeup artistry or best-practice guides for kit hygiene. For instance, ask, 'What sanitation protocols or certification programs do you recommend for aspiring MUA’s?' This elevates the expertise within your community.
Frame your post with specifics, such as 'Looking for dupes: What affordable alternatives have you found for the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer that actually match in texture and performance?' Encourage members to share photos, swatches, and wear-test results to back up their recommendations, ensuring the discussion remains credible and evidence-based.
Customize your posts to target specific concerns, e.g., 'Can anyone recommend long-wearing foundations that don’t cling to dry patches or emphasize fine lines?' or 'What non-comedogenic primers have worked for your acne-prone skin?' This invites members to give tailored advice and builds trust among those seeking solutions for unique skin needs.
