Beauty influencers in the UK: 35 Instagram creators, measured (2026)

This page lists 35 Instagram creators whose bio names the UK and who post mostly about beauty, with the follower count, engagement rate and median Reel views we measured for each one. Virev's crawler read their profiles and recent posts between August 24, 2026 and September 24, 2026. The median creator here has 33,804 followers and an engagement rate of 2.56%, which is above the 2.55% median across the 150 lists in this series and ranks 72nd of 150.

Beauty creators in the UK by follower count

Micro accounts (10K to 100K followers) are the largest group, at 17 of 35 creators, or 49%. Among tiers with 5 or more creators, nano creators get the highest median engagement rate, 4.33%, against 1.63% for mid-tier creators, so a typical nano post draws 2.7 times the response per follower. Reach grows with size, and the median mid-tier creator's Reels get 57,139 views, against 1,717 for nano creators.

5 high-engagement beauty creators in the UK with 10K to 100K followers

These are the 5 creators with 10,000 to 100,000 followers and the highest engagement rates on the list. The median across all 17 creators in that range is 2.56%, and none of these 5 reaches twice that. We also left out one creator with no measured Reel views, or whose average likes and comments beat their median Reel views, since we could not check that rate against reach. A high rate can also come from comment prompts, so open a few recent posts before you reach out.

What beauty creators in the UK post about

The most common profile category is Beauty and skincare, on 2 accounts (6% of those with a category), followed by Beauty and makeup with 2. The category is the one the creator or Virev's profile reader set, so treat it as a starting filter.

How we built this list

1. We started from 39,669 individual Instagram creators with at least 1,000 followers and 6 measured posts, read by Virev's crawler between August 18 and October 7, 2026. Brands, media pages and businesses are not on the list.
2. A creator is on this page when their Instagram bio or display name names the UK, such as a city, a region or a flag, and the country in their Virev profile does not name another country. We removed accounts that name the place only inside another account's handle, an email address, or a team or event name, such as a baseball club or a marathon.
3. The engagement rate is average likes plus comments on the 6 to 12 most recent feed posts, divided by followers at the read.
4. Median Reel views is the median play count of the creator's last 12 Reels, and it shows n/a when fewer than 3 Reels had a play count. 30 of the 35 creators have one.
5. These 35 creators were read between August 24, 2026 and September 24, 2026, and follower counts move after that, so check the live profile before you send an offer.
6. The page shows public profile numbers only, with no emails or phone numbers.
