SAN FRANCISCO, June 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Benefit Cosmetics, the leading beauty and no. 1 brow brand worldwide*, 
announces the launch of its official channel on Twitch ( 
www.twitch.com/benefitcosmetics ), the world's leading live streaming platform 
for gamers. This launch evolves Benefit Cosmetics' pilot "Game Face" campaign 
into a global program to continue supporting and empowering women in gaming and 
to engage all beauty lovers across the gaming space.

Game Face, originally a campaign launched in 2020 exclusively in the US and 
Australia, was developed to connect the beauty and gaming communities as well 
as support and champion more women in gaming. Benefit Cosmetics partnered with 
women in gaming, encouraging them to get their "Game Face" on using Benefit 
Cosmetics' makeup and show off their best livestream looks with confidence.

With the success of the pilot campaign, Benefit Cosmetics is launching an 
official Twitch channel and expanding Game Face into a global program. Starting 
June 21, Benefit Cosmetics will host streams on Twitch for a full week, 
partnering with 20 gamers from the US, UK, France, Canada, Brazil, Australia, 
the Middle East and Germany. The livestreams will feature gamers showing their 
go-to "Game Face" makeup routines as they share what playing with confidence 
means to them. Gamers will also unbox special Benefit Cosmetics makeup hauls 
and try on products for viewers. Featured Australian gamers include 'Luminumn', 
'Oasis On Overwatch', 'Angel Melly' and 'Mikahlah'.

Benefit Cosmetics is committed to expanding its network of streamers to include 
all gamers who love beauty and makeup. Starting June 21, anyone interested in 
gaming and beauty can enter for a chance to collaborate and receive program 
perks through BenefitCosmetics.com/gameface ( 
https://www.benefitcosmetics.com/gameface ). Benefit Cosmetics will host 
additional livestreams to bring visibility to the gamers' independent channels, 
continue gifting subscriptions to offer financial support, and sponsor makeup 
and merchandise giveaways to engage with streamers' fans.

"By expanding the Game Face program and our presence on Twitch, we're hoping to 
make deeper connections with the up-and-coming generation of gamers," said Toto 
HaBa, SVP of Marketing & Communications at Benefit Cosmetics. "Our goal is to 
create a space where they can explore and combine their interests in beauty and 
gaming and ultimately feel empowered to get their best "Game Face" on so they 
can play and livestream with confidence. I hope to see more beauty brands tap 
into the gaming industry to support and highlight underrepresented talent." 

Despite a growing presence on Twitch and in the broader gaming community, 
gamers who identify as women continue to face challenges like harassment and 
underrepresentation. Founded on the mission to inspire and empower women, 
Benefit Cosmetics is committed to finding new ways to connect with gamers and 
beauty fans around the world. Expanding into Twitch is a way for the brand to 
modernize how it connects with underrepresented groups beyond women in beauty 
communities.
