Top 5 people to follow on Instagram

Instagram is a fun phone app that allows you to share photos and short videos (up to 15 seconds). Usually if you want to add a cool filter to a photo you took on your camera you would have to buy a filter camera accessories or upload it to an online editing website. Instagram makes adding a filter to your pictures easy and quick. It’s a free app and if your looking for inspiration or just bored on your lunch break then this is the app for you. I follow a lot of accounts on instagram so I found it hard to choose just 5 accounts but with the process of elimination I managed to pick just 5 accounts I think everyone needs to follow. This list ranges from celebrities to fashion illustrators. In no particular order here is my top 5:

1. Kristina Bazan – 1.2m followers

Kristina is the owner of the fashion blog ‘Kayture’ . She started off blogging in her room a young girl with a big dream, with her success she now has a team of people working with her including a photographer that travels everywhere with her .Her style is very classic and feminine with a modern touch, its obvious why she front row at most fashion week shows and was even back stage at the Victoria Secret fashion show this year and on board the Victoria secret private jet were she set next to supermodel Adriana Lima. She also won ‘blogger of the year’ by Bloglovin’ which is a big achievement in the blogging industry .Her instagram account consists of loads of travel and fashion photos. It seems like she’s in a different country every week. But beware looking through her photos you might just get a little jealous.

2. Kyle Jenner – 15.3m followers

Kyle is one of the top ten most followed celebrity on instagram . Like her sister Kim Kardashian she is known to take quite a few instagram selfies. Her style and the make up she wears has kind of a 90s grunge feel to it.  Everyone has been also obsessing over her make up recently, especially the lip colour she wears (which is mac lip pencil in ‘whirl’). She takes pictures of her day-to-day life that usually includes photo-shoots, interviews with top magazines and hanging out with friends in LA. Definitely not the life of your average 17 year old.

3. Hayden Williams – 1m followers

Hayden is a British fashion illustrator and designer. This man is unbelievably talented, you might want to make yourself a cup of tea while your scrolling through his account , you could easily spend hours looking at his work. He did a drawing of Kate Moss for her lipstick collection for Rimmel and it is seen in most pharmacies that sell Rimmel . Celebrities like Rihanna and Oprah have reposted drawing of themselves that he has done complementing his work.

4. Jen Selter - 5m followers

When you hear you alarm go off at half six and you hear the wind howl outside it can easily put you off getting up and getting fit. While you lay in bed debating about getting up and going for a jog go on to Jen Selters instagram account. Just looking at her pictures will have you motivated enough to get out of bed and do some exercise. Jen says, “It takes dedication, perseverance, hard work and consistency. There is no secret pill, no special diet.” It seems like she never leaves the gym!

5. Linda Hallbergs - 482K followers

Linda Hallbergs is a Swedish make up artist, hair stylist and beauty blogger. Her make up looks are always creative/edgy and her blending is flawless. Even when she is creating a bridal look it will never be the usual bridal make up she always switches it up by adding colour . Looking through her instagram account will make you want to get out your make up kit and play around with colour .

 

So that’s my recommendations but whatever your into it being make-up or gardening you will find loads of people with similar interest on this app. Great app for the wannabe photographers. This blog post is kind of different from the rest but I like switching it up from time to time . Hope you enjoyed reading this post .
