Everything you need to know about our first ever InstaStars!

The hayu STELLAR InstaStar Awards 2021 will take place on Saturday, November 6th in The Alex Hotel in Dublin, and will honour the best and brightest in Irish content creation across the social media spectrum.

Yes, an actual IRL awards ceremony which is sure to be most glam and glitzy event of the year, with those in attendance coming from all aspects of the ‘gram, including beauty, fashion, podcasting, comedy, food and those who inspire us, to name just a few categories.

As I’m sure you’re aware of by now, the voting system is OPEN and we’ve been blown away by the response so far, but if you haven’t cast your vote yet or you want to know a little bit more about our nominees, over the next two weeks we’re going to introduce you to everyone nominated across all 10 categories, showing you why we think they’re InstaStars.

Next up, we’re looking at all the nominees in the beauty category as sponsored by Benefit Cosmetics. These nominees have not only helped us to get creative when doing our own makeup during the various lockdowns, but they’ve helped provide a form of escapism, advice, tips and tricks as well as endless product knowledge on the newness to nab and miss when it comes to stocking up those beauty bags.
