Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Gemma @gemelizabethloves

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

Hello I am a beauty blogger! I’m passionate about all things hair makeup and beauty and love to take pretty product pictures for Instagram and chat about products, hauls and regimes etc on my blog website! I’m a British girl living in Australia and started blogging in August 2016 and absolutely LOVE this hobby. I work full time as a dental nurse but would love to invest more time into blogging and less into dentistry on the future. My favorite thing about Instagram is getting creative daily with new products, photography and trying out new and wonderful things!

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

My main topics of interest are makeup, skincare, hair with the very occasional lifestyle post as I feel connected enough to my audience to show that side sometimes too.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

It’s basically self explanatory, showing that I’m talking about all the things I love. I don’t ever talk about things I dislike I find that a waste of my time.

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

I use face tune. I take my photo in square then send it to face tune where I add my frame, defocus parts if I want to make it look more professional as I don’t have a proper camera yet, and whiten parts that may need it too. I then send it to Instagram where I change the contrast to make the image pop and then the brightening tool.

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

Too many to mention!

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

Product wise? Alpha h liquid gold.

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

It’s hard to say! Being creative is amazing but trying out new products must be the best bit!

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

I guess it’s to keep an eye on how consistent the instagrammer is and how authentic they they when talking to their audience. See how they like the way the instagrammer photographs products to see if that’s the style they would look for.

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

It’s so important! There’s so much competition and repetitiveness. I like to take different approaches each time without being too all over the place. Some people just look the same to me and there’s no originality.

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

I love the challenge of performing well enough for them. I find it a great privilege to be able to show case their products so I like to try and impress! Not just take the freebies and take average pictures, I like to really pay back with my work.
