When your page is viewed, you want potential clients to have a sense of who you are and what kind of work you do. If you\u2019re all over the map using super bright images one day, then move to monochromatic, highly saturated filters the next, your page will appear messy and will look like it lacks focus. <\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_294419699_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram photo of makeup model\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_294419699_ed.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_294419699_ed-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_294419699_ed-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_294419699_ed-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_294419699_ed-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_294419699_ed-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_294419699_ed-350x350.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<p>Hashtags are great for showing personality and connecting to a wider community, so be strategic in using them. Using 20 hashtags for each post can be annoying and your key messaging will get lost. Instead, try using a few for each image, and keep linking it back to your brand. You can also use hashtags to connect your followers to your favorite products or trends for the season. This helps people know what you\u2019re about and where you fit in to the bigger picture of the industry. <\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_your_own_content_or_give_credit\"><\/span>Use your own content or give credit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>It\u2019s a big no-no in the artistic world to use someone else\u2019s work and pass it off as your own. Not only is it deceptive and unfair, you could even be opening yourself up to legal trouble! Post your own work on Instagram, and if you do decide to \u201cregram\u201d an image created by someone else, make sure you give them the credit. <\/p>\n\n<p>Crediting amazing work done by people in your direct or related industry can also be a powerful networking tool. Promoting other artists will often lead to them checking out your page, and they may give you props in return! Maybe you\u2019ll even collaborate at some point, or get connected to other awesome people. The possibilities are endless, as long as you\u2019re giving credit where credit is due.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Balance_work_and_personal\"><\/span>Balance work and personal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>While the majority of your account will be dedicated to your work as a makeup artist, followers will also be interested in getting to know the person behind the gorgeous looks.  Posts of your workspace, pets, or your own daily makeup will get followers engaged with you. Think about how much you enjoy seeing pictures that give a peek in to the lives of people you look up to. The more you get your work out there and are able build up your following, the more people will be interested in you and your life! Why not give the people what they want?<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_184069328_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram photo of girl holding her cat\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_184069328_ed.jpg 1560w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_184069328_ed-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_184069328_ed-998x1024.jpg 998w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_184069328_ed-768x788.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_184069328_ed-1498x1536.jpg 1498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promotions\"><\/span>Promotions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>You can promote your services and get followers involved at the same time! Offering incentives for comments on a photo or using your brand\u2019s hashtag costs you very little, but the potential for widespread advertising is huge! Why not have a draw for a free makeup application, or offer a limited time 10% off by using your hashtag? You\u2019ll be bringing in new clients, and will also be reaching your contest participants\u2019 followers.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_it_fresh\"><\/span>Keep it fresh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Even if everyone loves your posts, if they\u2019re few and far between then followers will soon lose interest. Make sure you\u2019re posting regularly, and keep things interesting for everyone! Don\u2019t feel like you have to post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/01\/building-your-makeup-artist-portfolio-participating-in-a-styled-shoot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">portfolio quality images<\/a> every other day, but showing your own #motd (makeup of the day), or a quick snap of your kit and set-up still shows followers what you\u2019re up to and will go a long way in keeping people engaged. <\/p>\n\n<p>Make sure you\u2019re posting high-quality, brand-consistent photos, and not just random images for the sake of posting. It is certainly a commitment to maintain an active and engaging Instagram, but the payoff is definitely worth it. Plus, once you get the hang of it, it\u2019s tons of fun!<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_followers_involved\"><\/span>Get followers involved<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>We already talked about how to get followers promoting your work and visiting your page, but if you can encourage people to comment on and share your photos than you\u2019re really winning! Try posting questions or asking for opinions in your photo descriptions. <\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_374718895_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram photo of outfit and makeup\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_374718895_ed.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_374718895_ed-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_374718895_ed-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_374718895_ed-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_374718895_ed-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_374718895_ed-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_374718895_ed-350x350.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<p>For example, why not post a photo of beautiful spring makeup and ask followers what they\u2019re favorite warm weather trends are?
