Lou Teasdale Has Been Doing Instagram and Snapchat Tutorial Posts

— August 31, 2015 — Fashion
Lou Teasdale -- makeup artist extraordinaire and hair stylist to One Direction -- has been doing Snapchat tutorial posts so girls can learn her makeup tricks. While makeup tutorials and social media are hardly a new pairing, the speedy and ephemeral nature of Snapchat is unusual. Even though the original post disappeared, Lou put a compilation of her snaps on Instagram for those who don't follow her on the Snapchat app.

In addition to the Snapchat tutorial, Lou also recently did a series of instructional videos on Instagram. This means each piece of the makeup look had to be explained in just 15 seconds. This is a refreshing take for beauty lovers who don't have much patience.
