(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Fast Company, shoppers spent nearly $12 billion on TikTok in the first six months of 2026, with e.l.f. leading through a documented TikTok Live playbook that fuses education and entertainment.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): run TikTok Live as an edu-stream, not a sales event. Host a 20-minute technique demo (how to blend this foundation, how to fix that eyeliner mistake) with product in hand, answer comments as real questions, and drop a link at minute 18.
