Top posts from Diipa’s wedding Mentioning MAC Cosmetics by MIV®
Diipa's wedding overall racked up an astounding MIV of $3m, so it is no surprise that the top three posts with the most impact on the influencer's social channels were related to her unforgettable event.
1. Diipa’s Wedding Look
Most of Diipa's wedding posts also mentioned MAC Cosmetics as they were the brand behind the Mega Influencer's wedding makeup – MAC Cosmetics Pro Artist, Nisha Sirpal created a jaw-dropping 8 looks for the event.

Top Online article about #DIIPAXMAC
As mentioned, social channels completely took over in generating the highest MIV by Diipa for her collaboration with Mac Cosmetics. However, the partnership did also attract online attention from various publications. The top online post about #DIIPAXMAC was by travel publication, DFNI Frontier, which makes sense considering Diipa's collection is exclusive to travel retail.
