1) Tell us a little about yourself. What are you doing now and where do you come from?
I’m a British Bangkok based fashion makeup artist. I have 8 years experience and was a trainer in the uk for brands such a NARS, Shu Uemura and Bare minerals.
I work mostly on editorial, celebrities and luxury destination weddings in Thailand.
I also teach make up at Asias leading make up academy the Scandinavian make up academy.
I guess I would be described as polite, friendly, charming and articulate.
2) What are your topics of interest? What do you post on Instagram the most?
Make up images that I have created and the products I have used to create the images. I always get likes and interest from the brands I have used due to the quality of my work.
Also images of myself and I can’t forget my cat!
3) How did your Instagram name come about?
Well Instagram has become a strong platform on the fashion industry especially for makeup artists. I get a lot of mark from my Instagram. Most photographers, magazines and clients now ask for my Instagram. Also it’s great for for friends to follow alswell as my students.
4) What are some apps you use to edit your photos? Share with us your photo-editing routine!
Snapseed for detail, and Instagram itself for lighting corrections. I don’t filter my images, I would rather correct them.
5) Any Instagrammers whom you really like? Which Instagrammer inspires you the most?
Being a makeup artist I love Pat Mcgraths and Val garlands pages, also brands pages such as NARS and Mac. Romero Jennings from Mac is and Alex box our also a really inspirational page.
6) If there’s one thing your fellow Instagrammers just gotta try now, what’s it gonna be?
I’m loving new beauty product from the likes of Hour Glass, NARS and zoeva. Especially zoeva, there products are of such quality, in house manufacturing and the price pony is almost criminal it’s that good!!
Charlotte tilbury is another really stunningly beautiful brand that is creating some astonishingly good cosmetics, that not only look good on the face, but also in your make bag.
7) What’s your favorite part about being an influencer?
I believe it’s the fact people share the love for items I’ve introduced them too. I get a lot of messages from other make up artists asking about recommendations, I believe it’s due to my long experience in luxury cosmetics, that I can appreciate what is truly a good well made product.
8) What are some of your top tips to brands for running campaigns? How do you maintain authenticity?
If you build it they will come. Why I mean by that is if the product is of the highest quality people will keep on using it for life. It’s how you create brand loyalty. Also there’s a huge change in the market. Heavy make up that has been the trend with beauty influencers is no longer of what is desired. Most people are realising it’s not a look they can maintain or recreate, so are looking for realistic beauty recommendations from actual make up artists rather than you tubers.
9) What would your advice be on the importance of quality and original content?
Well I like to keep my page looking edgy with a side of luxury and sophistication. After all my page is seen by people in the fashion and editorial industry so it’s important to Martian that image. I also wouldn’t want my page to look like any others as I want it to stand out and show my true colours as a person and artist.
10) What do you like best about partnering with brands?
Well working for luxury cosmetics brands for 8 years I believe it’s the fact of when you find a product you love you become to respect how it was manufactured. You recommend it to everyone you know and continue using it for life. Especially in my job, it what gives you the most professional finish and that in invaluable.
Also when you partner with a brand it’s a great opportunity to try products you’ve never used before.
