I never thought I would ever say this... but I actually do like Twitter. In fact, I kind of love it. Twitter contains a wealth of information if you are someone who works in (or aspires to be in) the world of hair, makeup, and fashion. My Twitter feed is full of makeup artists and fashion writers from around the world. Online boutiques that specialize in supplying skin care and makeup professionals also have major presence in social media. Some of them feature product giveaways or special discounts that I would have completely missed out on if I weren't reading their tweets.

I'm going to be compiling a list of my personal favorite Tweeters over the next few weeks. Here are a few accounts that all my fellow beauty junkies and slaves to the industry should be following:


The Supplies
Many of the premium quality professional brands are using Twitter. Skin care companies have announced new products via Twitter, so it can be a useful tool when trying to find that perfect potion for your kit.
