Ever wanted to be the envy of your friends and feel like a celeb on Instagram? The social network has been around for almost a decade and has become one of the most popular photo-sharing platforms in the world.
One of the biggest reasons behind its popularity is that the Facebook-owned mobile-based app also offers the highest engagement opportunities through likes, comments and views on videos over both Facebook and Twitter. Although celebrities and influencers dominate Instagram, there’s a few tips and tricks you can use to look and feel like ‘the other half’ on the platform.

By following her account, users have access to filters that have become used by international musicians such as ILoveMakkonen and Cardi B.
