It’s no secret that social media has changed our lives. And for those of us who care about all things beauty, social media is our best friend. We no longer have to guess at the right technique for applying lip liner or eyeshadow- just watch a YouTube video or get inspiration on Instagram. There are no shortage of beauty influencers taking over social media and many of the best are making it their career. Some have even gone on to launch their own product line! Bustle asked 14 top beauty influencers on Instagram to share their beauty tips with the world.
Amanda Jo @organicbunny
“I am a clean beauty blogger turned business owner, helping men and women around the world reduce the number of toxins they are applying to their skin each day! From providing my customers with a monthly non-toxic lifestyle box to having a full e-commerce website with thousands of cleaner items the whole family can use and enjoy, my goal is to make living an organic and non-toxic life as easy and glamorous as possible!”
Beauty tip she wants to share:
“Diet is everything! While it’s a blast to use girly and glam products in hopes of a gorgeous new glow, the very best secret to outer beauty is a healthy, well-balanced gut!”
Anna Yu @maskaddict
Who is Anna Yu?
“As an old-ish millennial with dry skin, I’m half convinced a good mask will solve all my problems. I’m a sheet mask fan who is determined to try and review as many as I can. Nothing makes me happier than to hear people say I helped them with a mask-purchasing decision!”
Beauty tip she wants to share:
“You can be using the most expensive or best products in the world but if you’re stressed, not sleeping or eating well, it can still show on your skin. At a particularly stressful point in my life, I had really reactive and acneic skin despite having a “good” skin care routine. Once I managed my stress by meditating on a regular basis, along with a good diet and exercise, my skin has never felt or looked better. Also, wash your pillowcases and makeup brushes on a regular basis!”
Anthea Persaud @wing.it.beauty
Who is Anthea Persaud?
“I am a Canadian, West-Indian professional makeup artist, karaoke fanatic (#wingitandsingit), and self-proclaimed comedian. Specializing in bridal makeup, I also offer one-on-one classes for those who wish to learn, and I love making my clients feel beautiful. My primary goal on social media is to help promote a more realistic view of what constitutes “beautiful” in an industry full of false perfection.”
Beauty tip she wants to share:
“On days when you are on the go but still want to look put together, save yourself from buying a BB cream by combining your favorite liquid foundation with your daily moisturizer. With a lighter coverage, this concoction will have your skin looking naturally luminous.”
