20 Makeup Artists You Should Be Following On Instagram Like, Yesterday

Not everyone is an expert at makeup. In all honesty, I’m horrible at makeup and feel as though no matter how hard I try, I’ll never get it right.
But, thanks to the Internet and beauty bloggers, there are tons of makeup artists all over the web that can teach us a thing or two about applying everything from foundation, to eyeshadow, to filling in our eyebrows. Some of these ladies have gotten so big, they have their own makeup lines and cosmetic companies. If you’re like me and struggle with putting on highlighter, check out these talented makeup artists who can teach you a thing or two about face beats.

Catherine Martinez is at the forefront for change in the industry. Her tutorial videos are all done in American Sign Language with closed captioning to make sure that those with hearing disabilities can still learn a thing or two.

I’ve found a mask that seriously has been pulling all of my impurities out! It isn’t a miracle worker and remember to have your regular 4-6 weeks facials with a licensed esthetician as well as monitor your skin. This mask is amazing for in between facial sessions and to prevent over clogged pores. I recommend you take some steam for 10-15 mins before applying the face mask. 1. @glamglow SUPERMUD face mask 2. @levenrosebeauty Gold Rose Water to refresh face & calm redness 3. @amara_organics Aloe Vera Gel My skin was clear in October and al of sudden due to certain factors it has broken out. Just remember this is something temporary and as you can see certain parts of my face are in the scarring stage and the scars diminish its appearance with proper treatment. You are beautiful and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. ❤️ If you have any skin concerns , comment it below and share what it is you have been doing to treat it, if you’d like ????.
