An interview with TikTok & SU’s Own Chloe Weinstein
by BRITNEY KIRWAN ★ AUGUST 18, 2021
Eighteen-year-old Chloe Weinstein is from New Jersey, has a following of over 340k on TikTok, and will be starting at Syracuse University as a Freshman this fall. Welcome to the Orange fam, Chloe! In this interview, Chloe shares the reality of having a following on TikTok and gives advice on how you can help grow your own platform too!
UGIRL: When did you first start making content on TikTok and what was it that gave you your big break?
Chloe: I started making content in August of 2019, mostly just for fun. Pretty quickly, I noticed my videos were getting a decent amount of views, so I just kept up with posting funny/relatable content!
UGIRL: We all know TikTok can be a toxic place where people are not afraid to make negative comments. How do you stay confident despite all the negativity that comes with TikTok?
Chloe: It definitely gets hard sometimes seeing hurtful comments but at the end of the day I know who I am as a person and so do my family & friends and that’s really all that matters.
UGIRL: What advice do you have for anyone who wants to grow their following and create content on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram?
Chloe: Being consistent with posting is definitely a must. Also, try to make content that’s relatable, and find your niche.
UGIRL: Which company has been your favorite to work with so far and why?
Chloe: I love every single brand/company I work with, however, I’ve worked with Princess Polly for the longest time and it happens to be my favorite clothing store which is obviously a huge plus.
UGIRL: What are some challenges you face having a major online presence that most people maybe wouldn’t expect?
Chloe: It’s a lot more work than people would think. I am constantly working every single day whether it be checking & replying to emails, filming content, or searching through my DM’s for potential brand deal offers. It can be very overwhelming sometimes.
UGIRL: On a more positive note, what are some of the pros to having a major online presence? What are some things that you wouldn’t have gotten if it weren’t for TikTok?
Chloe: A pro is definitely all the love I get from my supporters. Knowing that there are people out there that love my content and support me through everything means the absolute world to me. It’s a great feeling. If it weren’t for Tik Tok, I wouldn’t be able to work with so many amazing brands that I love as well as make great connections with others through Social Media.
UGIRL: What do you hope to accomplish with your platform in the future?
Chloe: I really want to continue to grow my platform & inspire as many people as possible. I also want to start spreading more positivity and promote being confident in your own body through my content!
UGIRL: Okay, we all want to know! What is your eye makeup routine?! Your winged eyeliner look is absolute perfection!
Chloe: Thank you! I actually use 3 different eyeliners. For the wing itself, I use an angled brush from Morphe and dip that into ELF liquid liner to create a more precise wing. For the waterline, I use the Makeup For Ever Artist Color Pencil and for the inner corner of my eye, I use Sex Kitten by Tarte! Complicated, but worth it for the best look!
Could Chloe be any more perfect?! Not only is she beautiful and smart, but she also chooses to use her platform to spread positivity (That’s a triple threat in my book!). This hardworking girl deserves everything that comes her way! Be sure to follow Chloe on Tik Tok (@chloeweinstein) and on Instagram (@chloeweinsteinn) to stay in the know about her latest content. Best of luck, Chlo!
