Key insight: Milk Makeup is spoken in 250 videos but tagged only 94 times — 70% of its presence is invisible to traditional tools.
L'Oreal and MAC show similar patterns: 68% and 66% shadow respectively. Dior reaches 74% shadow — the highest of any luxury brand.
These brands enjoy massive organic affinity that no text-based social listening tool can detect.
