"Who are the Brazilian creators we should know?" is one of the most common questions from brands entering Brazil. It's a fair question, but tough to answer in a single line.
This list is an attempt at one. It's not a ranking of "the 30 biggest" - biggest is easy to Google and not always the most useful number. It's 30 Brazilian creators worth knowing if you're building a campaign across the main categories brands care about. Some have tens of millions of followers. Others sit in the mid-tier and tend to convert harder per follower than the megas.
A few notes before you scan:
- Audience size is approximate. Numbers move every week. Use the bands as orientation, not as gospel.
- Category placement is the dominant one. Most of these creators cross categories. A beauty creator who also does fashion still gets one slot.
- This list is editorial. Think of it as a starting point for brands new to the market, not a ranking.
- Each name links to their main platform so you can scan their recent content quickly.
Lifestyle & Family
1. Sthefane Matos
Instagram-led lifestyle and family content, around 10M+ followers. Sthefane is a rare creator whose audience consistently spans Gen Z and millennials at the same time - useful when a brand wants reach without splitting the casting.
2. Karoline Lima
Lifestyle, motherhood, and fashion crossover with several million Instagram followers. Karoline's audience over-indexes on women 25–40, the most commercially active demo in Brazil. Strong fit for premium consumer categories.
3. Virgínia Fonseca
One of the largest creators in Brazil overall, with tens of millions across Instagram and YouTube. Family content, beauty, e-commerce. Built and runs her own beauty brand. Premium pricing, but a true "national event" when she activates a campaign.
4. Nanda Caroll
Mid-to-macro tier lifestyle creator with a few million Instagram followers. High posting cadence and strong WhatsApp distribution among her audience - a useful signal for sales-driven campaigns.
5. Lore Souza

9. Bianca Andrade (Boca Rosa)
Beauty creator and entrepreneur with around 20M Instagram followers. Owns the Boca Rosa beauty brand. Polarising name in the influencer space - high reach and engagement but pick the brief carefully.

Comedy & Entertainment
19. Whindersson Nunes
One of the most-followed Brazilians on the internet, around 40M+ followers across platforms. Comedy origin but expanded into music, film and lifestyle. Premium tier - campaigns at his level are PR events.

Chef-creator with a smaller, premium audience. Best for brands in the premium food and wine category - where a chef's credibility matters more than reach.
Fitness & Wellness
28. Gabriela Pugliesi
Fitness and wellness creator with several million Instagram followers. Originally fitness, now broader wellness, including supplements and lifestyle. Long-running and consistent.
29. Bella Falconi
Fitness and family-lifestyle creator with around 5M+ Instagram followers. One of the most established names in Brazilian wellness - fitness routines, nutrition, healthy family life. Stable, premium audience that converts well for fitness, athleisure and wellness brands.
Education & Science
30. Pedro Loos (Ciência Todo Dia)
Science-communicator creator with millions of YouTube subscribers. A category most brands skip but shouldn't - high-trust audience, low saturation. Strong fit for tech, education, finance and health categories that want credibility, not just reach.
How to actually use this list
Three things to keep in mind when you scan a list like this:
- Don't cast from the top. The biggest creator on this list isn't the best for most campaigns. Match the creator to the brief, not the brief to the biggest name available.
- Pair across categories. A campaign that uses two beauty creators and two comedy creators almost always outperforms one that uses four beauty creators. Diversity of audience and tone compounds.
- Check brand fit before reach. A creator's recent partnerships matter. If three of the last six posts were brand integrations, the next one converts less well - for any brand. Look at the gap, not just the audience.
