Instagram is addictive. Pictures generally draw people's attention, which explains why people spend a lot of time on there. And when you're a beauty enthusiast, that's where you can find out new product launches, and where you can find reviews for them. So if you are a beauty junkie, here are 10 Beauty Instagram Accounts that you MUST follow for tips, beauty launches, and inspiration!
1. Makeup Geek Cosmetics @makeupgeekcosmetics
Makeup Geek is a brand created by a YouTuber, Marlena. This account is not her personal one, though. It's a beauty community where they repost pictures of makeup looks that others have created using their products. They also post pictures of new Makeup Geek products that will make you lust over them.

We adore this 'Broken Doll' look by the talented @jordanhanz using Makeup Geek eyeshadows Corrupt, Vanilla Bean, Shimmermint, Cocoa Bear and Ice Queen.
Did You Know? : Makeup Geek eyeshadows are comparable, if not, better than M.A.C eyeshadows and they cost almost or less than half the price (even with shipping!)
2. Eva Chen @evachen212
Eva Chen is the editor of Lucky Magazine and was the beauty editor for Teen Vogue. Her Instagram account features many of her fashion ensembles, current favourite nail polishes and her holy grail skin care products. Her Instagram account makes you aspire to be a fashionista and maintain really great skin!

Happy nail art and an even happier @maisonvalentino bag on @garypeppergirl
3. Essie Button @essiebutton
Estee, or better known as Essie Button is a Canadian beauty blogger and YouTuber living in London. She takes AMAZING photos of products that she posts on her Instagram account and it gives you a peek into what her current favourites are. Because of her status as a beauty blogger, she gets first dibs on new product launches. She does us all a favour by talking about them on Instagram, so that we can start putting them on our upcoming shopping list.

4. Amelia Liana @amelialiana
Like Essie Button, Amelia Liana is also a beauty blogger and YouTuber from the UK. Essie usually sports a very natural makeup look, while Amelia does more smokey eyes. She too takes amazing photographs (especially the famous flatlays!)

5. Lisa Eldridge @LisaEldrdigeMakeup
She's a professional makeup artist and her Instagram is filled with images of celebrity inspired makeup and the products you can use to achieve the look. She also has pictures of her lipstick collection and it's out of this world! It's probably something beauty junkies want (even though we don't need it)

6. The Beauty Department @thebeautydept
The Beauty Department is an all beauty website that was created by Lauren Conrad. TBD has so many tips all the way from makeup to hair to nails, and even DIY projects! Their Instagram account is exactly like their website, just condensed.

Try one or do them all! See today's post on our favorite ways to part. {link is in the profile}
7. Charlotte Tilbury @ctilburymakeup
If you're keeping up with the beauty community, Charlotte Tilbury should be very familiar to you. Her makeup line has been talked about- especially in the UK (since it's readily available over there). She's also a makeup artist, and she definitely knows her stuff! What makes her Instagram account worth a follow is to see ALL her makeup products in all its glory, presented so beautifully- even when she's doing makeup for a model! It makes you want to go to great lengths to get her products here to the sunny island of Singapore

8. Tati @GlamLifeGuru
The best thing about Tati's Instagram is that she doesn't just talk about her favourite high-end products. She gives alternatives and shares all the great and affordable products that she gets from the drugstores. Not only that, her makeup in her Instagram account looks so flawless that you just can't help but to wonder what beauty products and tools she used to achieve it.

Just got my swatch on
9. Allison Anderson @amarixe
Allison is a beauty blogger and YouTuber from the United States. This is another Instagram that you HAVE to follow. She recommends so many different kinds of products and it's apparent that we can't get enough of looking at beauty products lying very nicely on the floor, table, grass, or any textured surface.

10. Daily Vanity (DUH!) @DailyVanity
Shameless self plug, but have you followed us on Instagram yet? We just started it and have loads of flat lay pictures of products too! An advantage we have is that we're based in Singapore, so that means whatever products we talk about are readily available in a store near you (i. e. Sephora, SaSa, Watsons, Tangs, Robinsons).
Feast your eyes, because about 98% of the DV Instagram account is of new products that you can look forward to! It just really makes you want to mark your calendars for the launch dates and go shopping.
