UPDATE 10/19: We're excited to announce that these rank updates here in the Beauty Insider Community are officially LIVE! 😊🎉 Please join us in the celebration by hitting "Reply" and sharing your rank. Whether you're rocking a brand new rank icon badge, or parading the same rank icon badge with pride, all are welcome to the rank party. 🥳
***
In the coming months, we’ll be making some further tweaks to our Community, including expanding and evolving the Community rank system. With more changes on the horizon, now seemed like an excellent opportunity to answer some common questions we’ve seen in the Forum.
What is a Community rank?
A rank is a visual representation of your level in the Community, earned through your Community contributions. The more you’ve been involved in helping others and engaging in Community, the higher your rank is likely to be (more on this in a second).
Your rank is visible in two places – on your profile in the form of a rank badge and next to your nickname in the Community Forum and Gallery.
Is my Community rank the same as my Beauty Insider Loyalty status?
Community ranks are specific to your Community contributions. Your Loyalty status is not connected to your Community rank. For example, you may be a Boss III in the Beauty Insider Community and a VIB Loyalty member. Or a Rising Star I in the Community and a Rouge Loyalty member.
What changes can I expect?
When the Beauty Insider Community started, we could only guess at how we’d grow. With over a decade since our first launch as Beauty Talk, and more than five years since the Beauty Insider Community relaunch, now it’s time to rework and expand the available ranks to match the growth of our community.
In an effort to make sure that everyone is recognized for their contributions, the rank system will be expanded from 12 ranks across 4 categories to 40 ranks across 8 categories. We want the community as a whole – from the community newbies to our community leaders – to be included and rewarded.
How do I move up the ranks?
The short answer is by helping and inspiring other members of the community. Do what you would normally do – share, connect, and appreciate others – and the rank ups will follow. Naturally, we can’t share the secret sauce, but we can offer some guiding principles:
What about the Community Ambassadors? Is that a rank?
Update: As of 3/10/2025, the Community Ambassador program has concluded. Thank you to our former Ambassadors! 💖
In short, “Community Ambassador” is a designation as part of an official recognition program. It’s not specifically tied to rank but those individuals with a higher rank are more likely to be considered.
Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassadors (or Sephora Community Ambassadors) are highly engaged Community members across all areas of Community (Forum, Gallery, Reviews, and Questions & Answers). These members regularly help other members by sharing their favorite products and beauty routines, posting honest reviews, and uploading looks or “shelfies.” To recognize them, we created the annual Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador program and invited them to participate. All opinions expressed by the Community Ambassadors are theirs alone.
Community Ambassadors help curate the content that you see within the main feed on the Community Forum and they can be identified by their “Community Ambassador” badge.
Will my rank reset once the changes are made?
No! 😊 Your rank will not reset, and no one is starting over. All the contributions you’ve made since the 2017 relaunch of the Beauty Insider Community will contribute to your new rank.
We hope this helps to answer any questions you have had about the Beauty Insider Community rank system. Stay tuned for when the changes are planned to go into effect! 🤩💖🙏🏻✨🦙
Yay @TeamBIC !!! This is so exciting!
Fresh Face II !!!
Newcomer here <3.
Yay! I noticed it in my PM's. Love the new Newcomer instead of Rookie. I'm under Community Ambassador for now but probably I'm at GG4?🤞 @TeamBIC
@TeamBIC Yay for the new ranking updates. Even though my badge is Community Ambassador, it use to be Boss III.
@TeamBIC I thought something looked different. I am a Go Getter IIIII 👋
I understand that the ranks are a reflection of participation in the community, but do they have any meaning beyond that?
I often read product reviews and the Q&A section to help me make purchase decisions, so I will continue to post those - but what is the incentive to do more?
I was also wondering about this too. I think Sephora is doing something good with the community recognition but this ranking system sounds as if there should be an incentive to keep rising the ranks.
Although part of being a community is promoting honest reviews or mindful purchasing on products that work for us, I'm a bit puzzled how this ranking system will help maintain this system. It looks like we have to wait and see. 🤔
@npickett7 They are just a way to show how active you are.
A lot of the people I met on here have become my friends now.
This is so exciting!
ok
Thank you for keeping up updated! I appreciate you ❤️
@TeamBIC Thank you for always keeping us in the loop! I'm so glad to hear no one's current rank will reset and I believe that in general this will be a great expansion to the ranking system. 🙂 ❤️
So there is a chance that I can some day be considered an Icon. 😉 This is actually very motivating.
Thank you for the explanation @TeamBIC I never understood the ranking system so I appreciate the breakdown, but it was a fun mystery 😋
Ok, so I see we won't be sliding backwards on ranks (right? I've read that correctly?), but how will current status be integrated with the new levels? Will all current Boss 3s simply be Boss 3s automatically when the new system kicks in, or will it be taking all of our participation data into account and granting higher ranks to some if they've already met whatever the qualifications are for the new tiers? Several folks here hit Boss years ago and have continued to be active, goodness knows I've made a bazillion posts since whenever I earned Boss 3, so I'm curious if current ranks will be simply grandfathered as they are at the time of the switch, or if overall activity will be what's carried over to the new system/algorithm, giving some folks higher status whenever the switch is made. (And not just Bosses, of course, this would translate to other tiers too, but, well, I am curious for reasons 😋 Status doesn't matter and all that jazz, but I still like seeing it lol).
@RGbrown, can't give away toooo much, but I can share that all of your contributions will be translated to the new ranks. One of our goals was to give our higher ranked members somewhere new to go 🤗
That's exactly what I wanted to know, thanks so much! ❣️
