MAC and e.l.f. are monetizing Love Island’s bottom-shelf drama.

MAC and e.l.f. are officially basing their entire marketing strategy on the Rob Rausch and Maura Higgins reality TV circus. I’m sorry, but when did 'prestige beauty' start taking its creative direction from people who argue for a living in neon swimsuits? This isn't a 'cultural moment'—it’s a clearance rack for class. We used to sell aspiration and dreams; now we’re just weaponizing the digital equivalent of a drink thrown in a face for the sake of engagement rates. If your brand strategy requires a script from a dating show to stay relevant, your aesthetic isn't curated—it's compromised. I’ll stay in my lane of actual excellence while everyone else fights over the scraps of a villa feud.
