Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Amanda Tan @a.mxndz

1) Tell us a little about yourself. What are you doing now and where do you come from?

Im Amanda from Singapore. I’m currently studying in Nanyang Technological University. I’m studying Sociology and just ended my second year (yay! Only 2 more to go) I play volleyball (beach and indoor).

2) What are your topics of interest? What do you post on Instagram the most?

I enjoy going to the gym in my spare time. I also enjoy looking up fashion and make up inspiration online. I usually post interesting experiences that happen in my life on Instagram 🙂

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

My Instagram name came about because I thought it would be cool to remove all the vowels from my name (Amanda) but I guess it is not though the name stuck around. I changed it for a bit and someone else took it so I had to add a punctuation to my Instagram name.

4) What are some apps you use to edit your photos? Share with us your photo-editing routine!

I usually use Snapseed to adjust the brightness/exposure as well as the warmth of the picture and if needed the brush tool is amazing at spot editing. I then use VSCO and use the HB2 filter. Being excessive, I then use Facetune and with the whiten tool I whiten areas in the picture that is supposed to be white but turned blue because of the temperature adjustment.

5) Any Instagrammers whom you really like? Which Instagrammer inspires you the most?

I really enjoy Emmtann, Weylie and Applesandamandas. Emmtann being a Singaporean Instagrammer is really down to Earth and she is sooooo beautiful :’). I just enjoy her posts and watching her insta stories. Weylie inspires me because she is also extremely down to earth and I enjoy watching her YouTube vlogs which led me to her Instagram account. Applesandamanda is a Vegan Instagrammer and Youtuber which I religiously watch and she’s is inspiring because she encourages self-love and healthy living while on a Vegan diet which I am also on! 🙂

6) If there’s one thing your fellow Instagrammers just gotta try now, what’s it gonna be?

Coconut milk chia pudding!!! I had this for breakfast and it’s so amazing?! Tastes amazing and I think everyone needs to be able to enjoy it :-).

Also, fellow Instagrammers should try Colourpops’ blotted lip, lip lip hooray in the shade Drip because it’s the best colour ever!!

7) What’s your favorite part about being an influencer?

I enjoy sharing bits and pieces of my life and being able to communicate and make friends with more people if possible!

8) What are some of your top tips to brands for running campaigns? How do you maintain authenticity?

I believe that being genuine is the best! It guarantees authenticity and consumers would receive what they expect from marketing ads.

9) What would your advice be on the importance of quality and original content?

Quality and putting in 100% effort into any content is extremely important and being original is more likely to interest people in my opinion.

10) What do you like best about partnering with brands?

I would think trying new products that I would not initially think of as well as being able to share products that really work and benefits me!
