Huda Beauty Wins Coachella Using 130 Paid Friends

Huda Beauty just topped Coachella engagement by hiring 130 influencers to flood our feeds. I’ll be honest, I can smell a paid vacation from three states away because I’ve been that guy in the room where nobody wants you, they just want your followers. We’re watching 130 people deliver the exact same 'impromptu' desert glow script for the same Huda paycheck. It’s not a trend; it’s a logistics exercise in how many people you can fit in a van for a selfie. I’ve seen more genuine joy in a 5 AM leg day than in these sponsored sunset poses. Huda didn't lead the culture; she just rented the most mannequins.
