Why timing matters for beauty on TikTok
The first 60 minutes after posting determine roughly 80% of a video's success. TikTok tests with a small group, and strong watch time, likes, comments, and shares trigger broader distribution.
Evening is the primary window (6-9 PM) when audiences have time for tutorials. Midday (11 AM-1 PM) is a secondary peak. Weekend late mornings see inspiration browsing.
