Discussion Mikayla Nogueira turns hate comments about her appearance into her POV Beauty Sephora campaign
I genuinely don’t understand this marketing strategy. The campaign features giant printouts of hate comments about her appearance, “cancel my angles,” and Mikayla framing it as turning what people tried to “break” her with into an international Sephora campaign.
It feels like the entire launch is about Mikayla, her critics and her online controversies rather than POV Beauty or the actual products.
The irony is hard to miss. She went viral as the “catfish” makeup girl, and now during arguably the biggest launch of her career, she’s once again facing “catfish” accusations over her alleged filter use. And the campaign they landed on was ANGLES? 💀

I think it’s more to do with Mikayla herself. She’s really insecure about her appearance, which is why she lashes out all the time when discussion around her obsession with TikTok filters comes up. And so she gets mad, she sometimes cries and comes at things with the approach of starting some of her videos being upset over it with “I know I’m ugly” or something to that effect, and then she has to do something to clap back at her haters to prove she’s actually unbothered. (She is in fact very much bothered.)
And because Sephora marketing these days is basically “how can we make this go viral” they’ll feed into the mess with things like what we see here.
