Abstract :
The cosmetics industry in Indonesia has experienced quite high development from
2018. Until 2019 there were more than 760 companies, of which around 95% were
small and medium scale. In competition, many cosmetic companies use beauty
influencers. This is because beauty influencers can introduce a brand in their
platforms, which is social media. In Indonesia, Instagram is the fourth most-used
social media with a total of 63 million users. Currently the beauty community is one
of the largest communities in the digital world, both in Indonesia and globally. There
are several beauty influencers who have finally built their own companies. This
shows that many beauty influencers are also entrepreneurs. Personal branding of
someone who owns a business, in this case the entrepreneur, is considered
important because it can affect their company. This research uses the concept of
marketing communication, personal branding, buying interest, and the theory of
reasoned action. This study uses a quantitative method, by distributing
questionnaires to 400 respondents who are followers of the BLP Beauty Instagram
account. The results of this study indicate that variable X affects variable Y of 0.547
which is quite sufficient. The result of this research is that personal branding beauty
influencers as entrepreneurs can affects the buying interest of BLP Beauty
