Today I challenged myself to come up with as many blog post ideas about beauty as I could in 30 minutes, so I could give back to the beauty blogger community! I'm not a huge fan of giving away too much personal info online, so I recommend an 80/20 split between informative posts that help your reader solve a problem and fewer of the “get to know me” posts. With that in mind, here's a huge list of blog post ideas beauty addicts will love!

Need Help Setting Up Your Blog?
If you haven't yet started a beauty blog and would like to, you probably know by now there's only one comprehensive blogging course I recommend and it's Elite Blog Academy. It's the class that has produced the highest number of successful bloggers (many are making a 6-figure income! You can read their success stories here: Elite Blog Academy Success Stories), and it's the course I used to launch this site.
It's very difficult to get into the class, though, because the cart is only open for registration one week out of the entire year. If you miss the 2018 registration and want to get on the waitlist for 2019, you can do that here: EBA Waitlist
Now…on to the post ideas!
Blog Post Ideas for Beauty Bloggers
Take a quick peek around Pinterest, and you'll probably notice beauty pins everywhere. Since the site is so visual, it makes sense that girls head there to find the latest makeup techniques, beauty trends, and hair tutorials. But what should you pin? Here's a list of topics you can write about next time you're low on ideas.

Writers block can get the best of us! I love these blog post ideas!
SUCH a good list of inspiration, especially as I finish up my quarterly editorial calendar – so helpful, girl!
Yay! Happy it helped. Can’t wait to see what you come up with. 🙂
YES! So many great beauty blog post ideas. Actually some of them I’ve posted but I’m always looking to expand.
I believe it. You’re so good at putting out beauty content! I wouldn’t be surprised if you had already posted more than half of these. 🙂 PS: Hope you’re having fun with the wedding plans!
I’m not a beauty blogger but these give me some ideas tied to what I do blog about.
Awesome. Happy they helped! That second download (the one with 120 free ideas) has generic themes, so you don’t need to be a beauty blogger to make use of any of those.
These are all great! Pinning this for later!
Thanks for pinning it. Much appreciated 🙂 Have a fantastic week!
You helped a lot of beauty bloggers with this post, so many ideas!!
Thanks, Leah. It was fun to come up with the list. And there are a few on there that we haven’t written about yet, so now I have content that I can use, too. 🙂
I’m not a big fan of makeup simply because I’m too lazy to take it off.
These reminded me that I should clean my brushes…
lol I should probably clean mine, too. In fact, I’m going to put it on my to do list for today 🙂
I love all of These! I have been wanting to incorporate more beauty into my blog and this has definitely got my ideas flowing! Thank you!!
Happy to help! Have fun with it!
I love all these ideas – As a bloggers i’m always looking for great content and this post was super helpful. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! Thanks for stopping by the blog. Hope it helps next time you’re stuck and can’t think of an idea. 🙂
I occasionaly blog about beauty just because I don’t have a lot of ideas BUT this list is very helpful.
Awesome! Happy it helped. (PS: If that’s you in your avatar pic, you should definitely post some hair tips because your hair is incredible!!!)
Being a beauty blogger this is super helpful, pinning it for future reference, your ideas are really good!
Yay, happy it helped. I always love seeing your posts pop up on my Pinterest feed, so now maybe I’ll see a few of the ideas mentioned above. 🙂 Have a great weekend!
I’m not a beauty blogger, but I certainly love beauty products! I would like read about all these please 🙂
Well… the free download has nothing to do with beauty blogs. It’s just a freebie to help spark your creativity and think of idea posts. Maybe that one would work better for you than my list? lol But I’m happy you like the beauty topics!
