26 of the Best Beauty Blogs You Should Be Following

Updated 12/14/18

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.


The Anna Edit

Best beauty blogs: Wendy Rowe

Wendy Rowe

Why follow: Wendy Rowe is the makeup artist for Burberry, so her blog is very much about how to create those incredible makeup looks she does for the likes of Sienna Miller and Victoria Beckham.

Best beauty blogs: I Covet Thee

Their tutorials are easy to follow and entertaining, and range from Gwen Stefani to Halloween costumes, as well as more basic how-tos such as light contouring.


Best beauty blogs: A Model Recommends

A Model Recommends

Why follow: What we love about Ruth Crilly of A Model Recommends is her down-to-earth approach to skincare and makeup. The international model is one to follow for skincare advice that actually works—you need only read a couple of the comments on her blog to realise that she knows exactly what she's talking about and understands how to get results.


Best beauty blogs: Estee Lalonde

Estée Lalonde

Why follow: Formerly known as Essie Button, Estée Lalonde has been running her beauty and lifestyle blog for five years.

Best beauty blogs: Barefoot Blonde

Barefoot Blonde

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.

Best beauty blogs: The Sunday Girl

The Sunday Girl

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.
