Unlocking the Power of Shoppable Videos and Livestreams

Remember when shopping online meant scrolling endless product pages and reading reviews like homework? Well, Gen Z said, “No thanks.” Today’s consumers want the feel of shopping IRL—without leaving the couch. And beauty brands are responding with a powerful new toolkit: shoppable videos and livestream commerce.

Whether it’s a GRWM tutorial with instant product tags or a TikTok Live that sells out your latest blush in minutes, video commerce is the new beauty counter. And at the heart of this shift is something every brand needs—analytics that can keep up. Enter Admigos, your intelligent video commerce partner, tracking performance, engagement, and conversions in real-time.

Why Video Commerce Works for Beauty

Video isn’t just content anymore—it’s commerce. Shoppers are increasingly buying from what they see, feel, and connect with in the moment.

According to Wyzowl, 88% of people say they’ve been convinced to buy a product or service by watching a brand’s video. And when it comes to beauty, that stat spikes even higher.

Here’s why:

  • Application is visual – Shoppers want to see how a serum absorbs, how a lipstick looks on brown skin, or how a highlighter pops in natural light.
  • Real people build trust – Beauty feels personal. Seeing creators with your skin tone, acne concerns, or hair texture builds authentic connection.
  • Live urgency drives action – Timed drops, flash sales, or real-time Q&A during lives increase FOMO and accelerate decision-making.

What Exactly Are Shoppable Videos?

Shoppable videos are interactive content that lets viewers buy products directly from the screen—no redirects, no cart friction.

They can appear on:

  • TikTok’s Shop Now or Live Shopping
  • Instagram Reels with product tags
  • YouTube’s clickable product links
  • Your own DTC site’s embedded videos

Livestreams, meanwhile, are real-time events where hosts (often influencers or brand reps) demonstrate, engage, and convert—live.

91% of Gen Z say they prefer interactive livestream content over traditional videos when it comes to shopping.

Analytics for Beauty Video Commerce

Creating a viral video is great. But knowing why it worked—that’s game-changing.

With Admigos, you get:

  • Engagement Heatmaps: See exactly when viewers click, rewind, or drop off
  • Shoppable Product Tracking: Connect views to SKU-level sales data
  • Comment + Reaction Insights: Analyse emotional sentiment during live chats
  • Attribution Dashboards: Understand which influencer, segment, or time slot drove the highest ROI

And because Admigos integrates with platforms like Instagram, TikTok Shop, YouTube, and Shopify, you’re always working from one, unified dashboard.

Best Video Content Practices for Beauty Brands

Based on consumer behaviour, here’s what’s clicking (literally) in 2025:

1. Start with a “Scroll-Stopper” Visual

Open with a bold transformation or unexpected hook. Ex: "Watch this acne disappear in 2 weeks—no filters."

2. Keep It Short (for Reels), Rich (for Lives)

  • Reels: 15–30 sec max, ultra-polished, product tagged
  • Lives: 15–45 mins, interactive, unscripted, offer-driven

3. Use Creator Partnerships Wisely

Micro- and mid-tier creators often deliver higher engagement—and with Admigos’ recommendation engine, you can find influencers whose audiences actually match your ideal customer.

4. Pin, Tag, and Save

Make product links always visible. Saved Lives on Instagram or TikTok allows evergreen viewing and sales.
