Five make-up artists you need to follow on Instagram right now

Instagram is a treasure trove of inspiration. Where do you go when you have a last minute event and need some outfit inspiration? Instagram. Where do you go when you need some interiors inspiration for your new kitchen? Instagram. And where do you go when you are in desperate need of some new make-up tips and tricks? Instagram.

But with such a wide range of make-up artists on the visual app, it can be quite the maze to navigate. However, we are here to help. We asked the Irish make-up experts Laurence Keating and John Bowes for help and they obliged by telling us exactly who we need to be following right now for some epic make-up enlightenment. And with the IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards 2019 on the horizon, we want all the inspiration we can get our hands on.
