Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Falguni Thacker @beautybooksandpizza

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

I graduated this year with a degree in IT engineering.I currently reside in Mumbai,India and I love everything beauty.

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

The topics that interest me the most are makeup,skincare and fashion.Books and food also hold my interest.I post mostly about makeup and skincare on my instagram and put book reviews on my insta stories.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

That’s actually an interesting story.When I started with makeup blogging,I wanted to come up with an instagram name that people can relate to. I realised how much I love everything beauty (ofcourse) but apart from that I had a fondness for books and pizza is my favourite food. And this isn’t just with me but many people love all these things and that’s how I came up with my username.

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

So my photo editing routine depends on what kind of shot I am editing. So if it is just an eye makeup shot I start with facetune and heal all the area around my eye so that my makeup stands out. I also do mention it in the caption whenever I heal or play with skin. After that I go to picsart to edit my name on the photo. For full face makeup I generally just blurr the background and adjust the brightness (hardly ever). For fashion related photos I use facetune to up the vibrance if the pic and play around with brightness. For videos,I use inshot app.

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

There is no specific instagrammer that I really like because I feel everyone’s work is their effort and time and they do the best that they can with these two entities in hand.I find inspiration everywhere and in everyone. Although some instagrammers who inspire me a lot are nikkie from nikkietutorials and alina from makeupbyalina

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

I feel it has to be playing around with their eyeliner.From cartoon liners to just using liner on the cut crease,a liner can change your whole look.And counting the enormous shade range we have for eyeliners and the fact that we can use them not only on the lids but also on our waterline is really amazing! An eyeliner can make your makeupgame go from 0 to 100!

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

I like inspiring people. And being an influencer helps me do that. It’s not just for a pat on the back but because that I can create a positive image about makeup.An image wherein people feel confident about wearing makeup instead of giving into society’s comments that makeup is only for people who are unattractive. I like the confidence that makeup brings in people.

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

I feel brands should approach an influencer in order to let people know about their product.They shouldn’t give influencers a particular script that needs to be said in order to make their product look good.Whatever an influencer feels about a product, he/she should be free to tell.

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

If we want to grow anywhere in any field quality is a must.Be it video quality,service quality or product quality because that is how people remember you.It is important to be original in your content because why not? This world is huge and creativity is endless.

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

I like building trust and relationship with brands.It shows that brands value your work and respect your efforts and every influencer wants their efforts to be noticed.
