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

Split_personallity has an amazing personality and knows how to interact with all of her followers. I really wish I knew how to do that!

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

Explore your limits. Try new stuff and don’t be afraid to share it! Also try to collaborate with other instagrammers, work something out around the same theme. You will be pushed to be creative and it’s very interesting to see how other people interprete the same subject.

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

I love all the sweet comments <3

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

Get your products out there, have them tested by people that you can relate to. Their opinion will influence a lot of people!

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

It’s very important! Sometimes I stumble onto instagram accounts with good makeup, but poor photo quality and that’s a shame. Since I invested in a good camera (I’ll never use my iPhone 5’s camera for instagram posts) I saw my number of followers increase very rapidly.

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

You get to discover new great brands that are really worth talking about.
