My daily Instagram routine consists of me stalking my favorite makeup artists and designers. I am constantly using them as a reference point, but also incorporating my own take on different looks. My all time fav is obviously Nars (narssist). Their new collection is a collaboration with Steven Klein, and its safe to say I'm obsessed. The colors are all shimmery, bold, and extremely intense. Their Instagram shows off the products in this collection, as well as others. You will also catch an up close and personal glimpse into their runway and high-fashion world. I recommend checking out their account if you enjoy looking at pictures of gorgeous products created by my idol, Francois Nars.
Another one of my favorite Instagrammers is Alessandra Steinherr (alexsteinherr). She is the British Glamour beauty director, and has a blog as well. Considering the fact she has the dream job and can try out tons of new products... she is constantly showing off the latest and greatest makeup and skincare products. Plus I just love her life because she gets to travel on the reg and work for Glamour... seriously the DREAM.
Another account I like to follow is the Wall Group (thewallgroup). This agency represents the world's most famous hair and makeup artists, and their Instagram shows all of their work. Whether it be magazine covers, or a red carpet look... The Wall Group's Instagram captures the essence of trending beauty created by the best of the best. I also like finding new makeup artists through their Instagram to check out their work and what kind of beauty looks they are experimenting with.
Another makeup artist who lives the dream is the Beauty Professor (beautyprofessor). She's a beauty editor and blogger in LA, and she is always posting pics of the latest and greatest products. They are all designer products I can't regularly afford, but it's fun to look at her life and dream. I'm always checking up on her Instagram to check out he newest brands in beauty.
If you are looking spice up your mani look with killer nail art check out Jin Soon Choi (jinsoonchoi). This Insta account follows the life of a professional manicurist working on high-end runways, taking a peek into her spas, as well as her own nail polish line. She is always transforming nails to look flawless and on trend. I will occasionally try out her designs... for example once I was able to replicate an ombre sparkle nail look. So thanks for the inspiration, Jin Soon.
While you are all busy following these super talented beauty professionals, I'll be working on a new post on late fall and winter trends. Can you say bold lips and sparkly eyeshadow? I can. Stay tuned.
Keep it real...
