Exciting New Partnership: E.l.f. Cosmetics and Twitch Join Forces!

This game-changing feature, powered by Amazon Ads, is aimed at enhancing sales and customer engagement during a crucial shopping season. Who doesn’t love a convenient way to shop while enjoying their favorite streamers?
What is This New Feature All About?
So, what exactly is this new feature? The shoppable integration is set to debut on E.l.f.’s official Twitch channel, known as e.l.f.YOU!. This channel has already made a significant impact by amassing over 43.3 million cumulative minutes watched and nearly 24,000 followers since it launched in 2020. Viewers will soon notice the new branded shoppable element called “eyes.lips.first.”, allowing them to purchase E.l.f. products directly through the stream.
The brilliance of this new setup lies in its seamlessness. Viewers can shop without any interruptions to their viewing experience. Imagine watching your favorite streamer play a game or creating makeup looks while you effortlessly add products to your cart. It’s like shopping while hanging out with friends—what more could you ask for?
Perfect Timing for the Holiday Season!
With the holiday season around the corner, this launch comes at the perfect time for E.l.f. Cosmetics. Retail brands typically see a major sales boost during the holidays, and this new feature aims to capitalize on that trend by offering an immediate way for viewers to purchase products they see in real time. It’s a smart strategy to engage audiences when they are already in a shopping mindset!
The Vision Behind the Partnership
Sarah Iooss, the head of the U.S. agency at Amazon Ads, shared her enthusiasm for this collaboration, highlighting how Twitch allows for real, authentic engagement with viewers. E.l.f. Cosmetics has always aimed to create safe and creative spaces within the gaming and beauty intersection. According to Patrick O’Keefe, Chief Integrated Marketing Communications Officer at E.l.f. Beauty, this partnership is about connecting with the community while supporting female creators. It’s about building a space where beauty and gaming enthusiasts can thrive together.
A Warm Welcome in the Twitch Community
Since its inception on Twitch, E.l.f. has embraced the platform by engaging with its community in creative ways. They’ve organized custom tournaments, collaborated with popular creators, and launched limited-edition product lines, all with the goal of fostering a strong bond with their audience. The introduction of this shoppable feature might just take that engagement to the next level!
What This Means for Streamers and Brands
The shoppable ad format represents a fantastic opportunity for brands to interact with highly engaged communities, allowing moments of creator content to become opportunities for product discovery. While shoppable livestreaming has been slow to catch on in the U.S., innovations like this could change the game, blending commerce and entertainment.
Keeping Up with Competition
This partnership also mirrors the growing trend among competing platforms. For instance, TikTok has launched its own “TikTok Shop” to incorporate commerce seamlessly into streams. E.l.f.’s collaboration with Twitch shows a commitment to keeping pace with these innovations while also pushing the limits of what’s possible in beauty retail.
Looking Ahead
As E.l.f. Cosmetics prepares for the official launch of this shoppable feature on Twitch, excitement is building. This partnership not only enhances the shopping experience for viewers but also strengthens the connection between beauty enthusiasts and the vibrant world of gaming. Who wouldn’t want to shop for their favorite beauty products while being entertained live?
So mark your calendars and get ready! E.l.f. is about to take your streaming experience to a whole new level.
