Anchal

Rising star Anchal is a British-Indian beauty vlogger, social media influencer and make up artist with over 100k followers on Instagram. She posts makeup tutorials, professional advice and product reviews to her own YouTube Channel every two weeks, and has amassed nearly 200k dedicated subscribers keen to follow her guidance on how to achieve flawless makeup looks. Also qualified in fashion and media, Anchal is known for her incredible ability to use special effects to create blood and gore. She also has her own popular podcast, What Would The Auntie Say – an eight part series that discusses topics that aren’t often brought up in the South Asian community, including colourism, mental health and anti-Blackness.

Born in London, Anchal studied Media Makeup at The University of Salford in Manchester and worked for beauty giants SpaceNK, Charlotte Tilbury and MAC before becoming a freelance makeup artist. In 2014 she began to record her own beauty videos and posted them online, reviewing new products and inspiring her dedicated followers with helpful advice and easy to follow makeup tutorials. Over five years later she has hundreds of thousands of subscribers with more followers joining her social media sites every day.

Her new blog – launched in November 2020 – sees Anchal move away from beauty to talk about more personal issues, and she is more than ready to tackle previously silenced issues head on.
