Anaïs instagram fashion and beauty influencer

Could you introduce yourself in a few lines so that our community can get to know you better? How would you define your style/universe as an instagram fashion and beauty influencer?

My name is Anaïs, influencer fashion and beauty, I'm 21 and I live in Angers. I like to share a bit of everything on my instagram account, whether it's my fashion/beauty favorites as much as lifestyle. Style-wise, I can't really define myself; I can change from one day to the next, but it's really more bohemian-chic.

When did you start your social networking activity as an instagram fashion and beauty influencer?

I opened my Instagram account @_ssiana a good 5 years ago as well as a blog at the same time but it hasn't existed for three years and I plan to start again from scratch in a while.

What triggered you and why did you embark on your social networking adventure with instagram?

I started because I've always loved fashion, and then I thought it would be nice to share my looks and so on. And then I thought it would be nice to share my looks, etc. Then today I share a lot of looks, but also beauty products, in short my daily life.

How much time do you spend on your articles or videos? Production, editing...? Do you have any organizational tips for other fashion and beauty influencers?

I take several steps for an article: write it, read it, re-read it, take the photos, leave it aside for a while, come back to it and why not have someone else read it first. As for the photos, I'll take one or two afternoons a week to take all my photos for the week, and I'll take some time in the evenings and mornings to reply to comments.

What community and audience are you targeting?

I'm not really targeting an audience ... more of a "love me, follow me" kind of thing, but then I noticed that my audience revolves around women between 18 and 35 who love fashion, beauty or travel.

Where do you find most of your inspiration? And which social networks do you use most?

I use Instagram a lot, 21 buttons and Pinterest as inspirations and I also use all three in general

How do you manage your time, between family, work and social networks?  Do you have a job or activity other than your work as an instagram fashion and beauty influencer?

I'm simply organized. Being a communications student, the day is generally reserved for my classes, as well as time in the evening to work on them. In the morning and early evening I leave myself time for Instagram and if there are days when I don't have classes I take advantage of them to see friends, go out etc., just like the weekend which is reserved for friends and family.

Do you produce your own visuals and photos? And if so, what equipment do you use?

It depends, the photos where you see me in full are taken by friends, but I do all the work behind alone (on Lightroom) (I still ask them for advice ahah!) but for the other photos I make them myself. I simply use the Iphone 8+.

What advice would you give to other fashion and beauty influencers in the community?

Not to try to be the best, or to have the most beautiful feed, the best collaborationsPeople follow us because they like our universe and generally the fact that we're ourselves, and above all that we're real.

What would you like to undertake or develop next in your life as an Instagram fashion and beauty influencer?

Today I just want to keep going, keep developing, learning on my own, meeting great people and why not, in a few months' time, reopen my blog.
