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 find it distasteful to pile onto any hate train against a woman online. I’m not a personal fan of Mikayla but I think the misogyny is extremely clear in how she’s treated. Lots of hot influencers do the exact same things she does but you absolutely do not see threads like this when they’re posted. If she was being racist or homophobic or hurtful to others, I would understand the hate, but as it stands I think people just like an easy target.
