26 of the Best Beauty Blogs You Should Be Following

What would the beauty world be without the best beauty blogs? On the weekend (or whenever—who are we kidding?), we love nothing more than checking out what our favourite influencers are talking about, from the products they're raving about or the makeup tutorials they're loving. While makeup and skincare blogs launch all the time, we continue to go back to certain experts over and over again, whether that's because they've been pillars of the beauty community for a long time or their expert knowledge is simply unprecedented.

Why follow: Based in Brighton, Anna is incredibly knowledgeable about skincare () and one of the most organised women I've ever met. She's happy to share all her secrets on her website (her super-helpful isn't to be missed) and YouTube channel.

Why follow: Amber Clark is a beauty blogger who hails from NYC but is currently in Hawaii. While there are lots of snaps on her Insta feed that are about her husband and kids, there's one reason why we keep coming back to her blog: her braids. A self-confessed plait-obsessive, she has given us serious inspiration for our hair.

Why follow: If you know anything about British blog The Sunday Girl, you'll know that this is only a place to find out about new products; there are no tutorials here. But that's just one of the reasons why this blog is so refreshing; it sticks to what it knows it does best. From perfumes to toothbrushes, as well as all the latest makeup launches, this has a lot to offer the makeup addict.

Why follow: We've been following makeup artist and blogger Claire Marshall for some time now, and we quite often like to see what she's up to on Snapchat.

Where to follow:

Why follow: When you're tired of all the other beauty products, go to Cult of Pretty immediately. It's run by Ann Colville Somma, who has worked in the beauty industry for over a decade and works in product development and innovation, so she knows a thing or two about the hottest new beauty products. 

Where to follow: 

Why follow: Fun is the word we'd use to describe head Benefit makeup artist Lisa Potter-Dixon. Because that's exactly what you get—beauty tutorials with a slice of excitement.
