What did celebrities do before Instagram? It boggles the mind to imagine a world without it now. Presumably, celebrities would have to scamper around to studios hoping to get a break in movies or fashion magazines. Even so, it wasn’t until social media came along that the concept of an “influencer” became popular. Beauty bloggers can use the Internet to broadcast every day, sharing their lives with the rest of us.
Instagram influencers aren’t just high-paid models promoting paid product reviews, at least not all of them. Whether they’re touting stem cell beauty products or teaching you how to emulate the latest fashion trend, Instagram beauty bloggers are the next best thing to a personal trainer or at least that one savvy friend we’d all like to mentor us.
So here’s a round-up of the most happening beauty bloggers, the movers, and shakers. We’re going for a diverse cast to ensure there’s someone here for everyone, with a mix of styles to fit as many personalities as we can squeeze in.
