REPORT PROMOTION

From researching each of our chosen Make-Up brands and the use of Boss Metrics we found that M.A.C has the biggest amount of fans on Facebook, Twitter etc.

We also found that Fuschia Make-Up are behind the times compared to the other brands reviewed as their website seems dated and they do not have a Twitter or Instagram account.

We feel our group worked very well together because we are good friends with an interest in Make-Up and we all contributed an equal amount to the assignment.

CONCLUSIONS

Thanks for listening
