Vote for Ireland’s best Make-Up Artist over on bob.image.ie right now.
I love Instagram. It is my internet safe space. People rarely fight on Instagram. The General Election will never trend there. The fact that it is so easy to ‘like’ a photo by tipping a love heart just further enforces the idea that Instagram is a place of mutual appreciation and admiration. It is the online equivalent of a stranger complimenting you on your outfit as you queue in a caf?.
However, one of my favourite Instagram ‘things’ is to scroll through the accounts of celebrity make-up artists. Leave your adult colouring books at the door, this is my mindfulness. I love how everyone always looks well. I imagine the chats are unreal. I have a feeling everyone is dripping in silky Creme de la Mer concentrate. This is Lifestyle with a capital L.
Here are the accounts that calm my soul and make me want a beauty bag upgrade every single day.
