Beauty Here Are Our Favorite Makeup Gurus, Now Vote for Yours! By Jennifer Merritt Jennifer Merritt Instagram Twitter Jennifer Merritt wants to live in a world where typing counts as a workout and chocolate and peanut butter are considered food groups. As deputy editor for InStyle.com, she's interviewed everyone from Chelsea Clinton to Rob Lowe. When she's not writing and editing, she can be found endlessly (and fruitlessly) cleaning up after her toddler and falling asleep while reading. InStyle's editorial guidelines Published on September 7, 2013 @ 11:15AM Pin Share Tweet Email Photo: Courtesy Photo Some girls are born with an affinity for makeup, while some of us need a lesson or two, lest we walk around looking like we’ve got two black eyes. Luckily for the latter group, the makeup mavens among us have taken to social media to share their know-how—and the end-results are something both pros and amateurs alike can appreciate. For InStyle’s first-ever Social Media Awards, we scoured the web for the best makeup how-tos online, and discovered Cassandra Bankson, Gia Brascia, Jackie Perdue, Miss Glamourazzi and The RAEviewer—all of whom wowed us with their sensational skills, honest product reviews, and social media savviness. Now, it’s your turn to choose! Vote for your favorite makeup how-to and be sure to let us (and your makeup maven of choice!) know your pick on social media using #InStyleSMAs. Polls are open until Sunday, September 15 at 11:59 p.m. ET, and winners will be announced on InStyle.com and in our December issue.
