I’ve always been mesmerized by the way some creators can transform a look, share a skin routine, or change the way we perceive beauty itself ever since I picked up a makeup brush. Through my own journey with Glambywaepril, I’ve learned that beauty isn’t just about products, but is about passion, connection, and confidence.

If you’ve been following me for a while on Glambywaepril, you’d know that I am a big fan of exploring beauty trends that are not just about looking good but feeling confident in your own skin. And today, I want to shed some light on the top Canadian beauty influencers who are shaping what we see, try, and love on Instagram right now.

Hi loves, Waepril here! I’m so thrilled to share today’s post, as it is something that has completely changed the way I view skincare, and maybe it will be for you, too. If you’ve been using TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen the skincare influencers taking over the app. Be it quick ingredient breakdowns, morning routines, or ‘get unready with me’ videos, skincare influencers on TikTok have changed how people learn about skincare.

Have you ever wondered how skincare influencers (or as I like to call them, skinfluencers) manage to keep their skin glowing while continuing with endless content, tutorials, and collaborations? They juggle with so many tasks, such as early morning shoots, editing videos, answering DMS, and also testing new products, and somehow, still get their skin to look flawless.

Ever since I first started exploring the world of beauty, I’ve been fascinated by how cosmetic influencers can teach, inspire, and connect with people. It is now just about sharing looks or reviewing the products, but is more about creating a space where learning, experimentation, and self-expression meet.

Today, I’m really excited to take you on a deep dive with me into the diverse world of the top Instagram beauty influencers, the people who are not only members of trends but also the pioneers of new ones.

Regardless of skincare practices or makeup styles, these influencers are not followers of fashion; they are fashion creators!

Hi, Waepril here, I’m back with another insightful blog and today, I’ll be sharing a little more about my own experience of growing as one of the best beauty influencers, while also exploring the world of creative beauty influencers on TikTok who are still redefining trends and inspiring confidence.

Hey, beautiful people, Waepril here! Throughout my beauty journey with Glambywaepril, I’ve learned that glowing skin is not about having a drawer full of expensive products, but it’s about consistency, care, and a bit of self-love. And I know how overwhelming the skincare arena can feel with so many products, trends and conflicting advice, but what truly matters for skincare isn’t just a lot of serums or products. 

Ever wondered how celebrities maintain that otherworldly glow despite their chaotic lives? They’re juggling 4am call times, back-to-back interviews, red carpet events, international flights, and somehow their skin looks like it’s been kissed by angels. Meanwhile, you eat one slice of pizza or stress about a deadline, and your skin stages a full rebellion with a breakout that could rival Mount Vesuvius.

What is radiant skin for you? Is it that dewy, glass-skin finish that catches light like a disco ball? Or is it clear, pore less skin that needs zero filter? Maybe it’s that healthy glow that makes people ask if you’ve just returned from vacation when you’ve actually been stress-eating chips in bed.

Spencer Barbosa posted a video dancing with her body hair showing. Didn’t apologize for it. Didn’t explain it. Just… danced. 54 million views later, brands finally got the message about what makes Canadian influencers different. We’re done pretending.

Remember when beauty advice came from that one friend who somehow always knew which mascara wouldn’t smudge during your late night cry session? Now we have 10,000 people on Instagram claiming to be that friend. Spoiler alert! Most of them aren’t.

Okay, so last month I’m researching retinol for this client collaboration, right? And I find myself fact-checking a TikTok creator’s ingredient breakdown against actual dermatology journals. She wasn’t just close. She was dead-on accurate about molecular stability and everything.

I got this wild idea last month – what if I literally lived like different top beauty influencers on YouTube for entire weeks? Not just trying their products or whatever, but actually following their EXACT routines. Wake up times, product application order, even the weird stuff they do.

Most people assume Canada’s beauty influencer scene mirrors the US with all ring lights and sponsored hauls. But flip through TikTok and Instagram for five minutes, and you’ll notice something different. Canadian creators are doing weird, wonderful things that their American counterparts wouldn’t dare try.

Last week, a skincare brand DMed me sounding puzzled. They’d spent $30K on an influencer with 2 million followers. The post got 400 comments with mostly fire emojis and “yasss queen.” Sales that week? Seven units. ONLY SEVEN.

Hello, September! Can you even think how quickly summer passed by, and it’s winding down already now?! Well, I can’t say for anyone else, but deep down, I am definitely a summer girl! I just love the long sunny days, beach trips, glowing skin, minimal makeup, honestly, what’s not to love? I really wish that summer would just last forever, but then again, here we are, stepping into a new season. For most of us, it means stepping into the grind: back to school.

Acne has been my constant struggle, even while I was growing up. Back then, I had no clue why my skin was always breaking out. Growing up, acne was a constant struggle for me. At the time, I didn’t understand why my skin was always breaking out. Mostly, I assumed it was because I had “bad skin” or bad luck. Looking back now, I realize it was pretty clear that my diet was awful.

One of the questions that I regularly get asked is, “How do you get your skin to glow without looking oily?” Trust me, I know it is a very common problem, and no one really knows what to do about it. There exists a very thin line of difference between the radiant, glass-like skin and that unflattering, greasy shine. Want to know what? That’s what I am going to break down today: the real difference between glowy skin and greasy skin, and yes, they are definitely not the same.

If you have been following me for a while now, you would probably know me the best for my beauty and skincare-related content, apart from the little other things I share here and there. But today I am going to be sharing a more personal side of my life, something that doesn’t involve the regular serums, swatches, or Sephora hauls.

You know what’s wild? Canada produces some of the world’s best skincare ingredients like sea buckthorn from the Maritimes, glacier water from the Rockies, even maple-derived squalene, yet most of us are still following skincare advice from creators who’ve never experienced a single Canadian season!

Hi there! I am sure that with so much that has been going on over social media lately, you must have thought to yourself at least once, ‘What happens when the camera goes off?’ It has happened hundreds of times that my followers have asked me about what a day in my life looks like, being one of the top Canadian Instagram influencers. While I do really enjoy giving you reviews and tips on beauty and skincare products, I also love to answer any questions my lovely followers have for me.

Imagine a quiet morning in the Canadian mountains, the sun peeking over the peaks, and the first light hitting a sparkling lake. There’s something deeply mesmerizing about Canada; that land seems like a dream. Every time I step outside on a cold winter morning or on a late fall afternoon, when the sun is setting and its slowly dipping rays hit me around the corner, I can’t stop myself from picking up my phone and snapping a shot.

It’s your girl Waepril, and today I am back again with another beauty find that is just too good to be kept to myself.  I know that most of you, like me, struggle with dry, chapped lips, especially with this weather that is constantly playing game

I know most of you might have been eyeing its launch, and if you are wondering about its fragrance, whether it is too sweet, too rich, or maybe just another gourmand to sit on your shelf? I am here to spill this tea. Warning: It’s an absolute delight to your senses- delicious in a refined, gourmet dessert way.

Hey loves! Waepril here. I am back again with another new find for you, and I am sure that this one is going to blow your mind. If you have been following me for a while now, you will know that I only rave about products that show some actual results, and today’s product duos are something that have really worked wonders for my skin.

Waepril here. I’m back again with another very insightful blog today, and I am sure you will love it. Today’s post is about my personal journey to becoming one of the top beauty influencers, along with a little more on some of the most famous makeup influencers on TikTok, who should be on every makeup lover’s list. Read on as I uncover more throughout the blog.

As a Canadian beauty creator myself, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to find makeup inspiration that actually works in our climate. While building my platform at GlamByWaepril.com, I’ve spent countless hours researching which top makeup influencers offer content that translates to real-world conditions – not just perfect studio lighting.

Ever wondered how we’re all getting a little fed up while scrolling Instagram these days? Every beauty influencer skincare post sounds exactly the same, and these makeup influencers keep promising me perfect skin like it’s some kind of magic trick.

So I’m curled up here in my Vancouver apartment, scrolling through my feed and noticing something that feels so good deep down. We Canadians are absolutely crushing it in the beauty social media influencer space, and honestly? It’s about time the world noticed what we’ve been quietly perfecting up north.

Skip the basic must-follow lists because I want to talk about the real magic of how making beauty videos for YouTube has utterly transformed MY relationship with makeup. Also, why filming (or not!) might shake up your own routine, confidence, or creativity in ways you never imagined.

If you are following me on Instagram (@april_waepril_beauty), then I am sure that you might have seen me swooning over some of the newest additions to my beauty regimen. But before moving on, let me tell you that Prada Beauty is having a moment, and I am here for it.

In my beauty journey through the years, with a continuously growing family of 370,000 followers, one question has remained constant: “Waepril, how do I know what lipstick is right for me?” The only answer to this is, when it comes to lipstick, no one-size-fits-all. But don’t worry, that’s the fun of it.

So today I will be sharing with you a beauty collection that I have completely fallen in love with- it’s The Crystal Slipper Collection by RMS Beauty. This collection is going to be on the top of your list, too, if you like to keep a no-makeup makeup look.

Thinking of July, I can already imagine the summer vibes and my vacation plans in full swing. For this year, I finally decided to do something that has been on my bucket list for years, an experience that I had been dreaming about for ages. I finally headed out to London to become a part of Wimbledon!

So you’re scrolling through your feed and see another “top makeup influencer” doing a $500 Sephora haul, and you’re like… “How did they even get here?” Trust me, I know that feeling. When I started my journey to becoming one of the top makeup influencers people actually trust, I had the same question.

When people hear “skincare influencer,” they usually imagine neatly stacked serums, perfectly lit GRWMs, and flawless routines with soothing voiceovers. But TikTok skincare influencers like me know the truth is far messier and that what you don’t see is often just as important as what you do. In this post, I want to share some behind-the-scenes realities, because honest transparency helps build better skincare habits and healthier expectations.

When you scroll through your feed and see a flawless cut-crease or dewy skin moment, it’s easy to tap “like” and move on. But have you ever stopped to think why some makeup influencers stick in your head while others fade out?

It’s like every other skincare influencer on Instagram is dishing out “best skincare advice” these days, some of it great, some of it… well, not so much. If you’re scrolling through reels, wondering, “Who actually gets my Canadian skin struggles?” I’m here to save you some time and hassle.

Let me guess, you’ve got tired eyes, it’s well past your bedtime, and yet here you are, deep in TikTok. Suddenly, a skincare routine or product demo pops up and makes you pause. “Wait… do I need this?” Maybe it’s slugging, or a peptide serum, or some $60 LED mask you hadn’t even heard of before. Next thing you know, you’re screenshotting, bookmarking, and thinking, “Okay, maybe this is worth trying.”

Ever wonder why you’re still searching for your next makeup tutorial on YouTube, even after watching the latest TikTok trend? There’s something uniquely powerful about the long-form content that only deliver.

As someone who lives in front of the camera, and behind the editing suite, I’ve seen firsthand how YouTube fosters depth, trust, and storytelling in ways other platforms can’t match.

I’ve spent over $247 in the past six months on makeup products recommended by popular Instagram makeup influencers. Want to know how many actually lived up to the hype? Four. Just four. 

This is why I created GlamByApril, to cut through the picture-perfect Instagram looks. Because honestly, filters, perfect lighting, and editing can make makeup look flawless on screen, but real life is a different story

Hey beauties, April here! 
Let’s talk about the skincare chaos that is on TikTok right now. One minute you’re getting a goldmine of real advice from a dermatologist, and the next, someone’s smearing garlic on their face like it’s magic. Yikes. 

As a beauty influencer and content creator who lives and breathes skincare, I get how social media has opened up a whole new world of skin education. But the thing to remember is that not everything that trends is worth your skin’s trust. 

There’s something undeniably beautiful about truly glowing skin – that healthy, luminous radiance that makes you look vibrant and full of life. At GlamByApril.com, we believe everyone deserves to feel confident in their skin, and achieving that coveted glow is easier than you might think.
This in-depth guide will walk you through everything you need to know – from understanding what makes skin glow to creating the perfect routine with our carefully curated product recommendations.

Makeup is a powerful tool to express your personality and enhance your natural beauty. Whether you’re heading to a glamorous event, a casual brunch, or a professional meeting, the right makeup look can elevate your confidence. GlambyApril, a rising name in the beauty industry, offers stunning makeup inspiration for every occasion. Here are five must-try GlambyApril makeup looks that will make you stand out!

In recent years, the beauty industry has seen a significant shift toward ethical and sustainable practices, with cruelty-free beauty leading the charge. More consumers are choosing brands that do not test on animals, recognizing that beauty should never come at the expense of innocent lives. If you haven’t already made the switch, here’s why cruelty-free beauty should be your new standard.

We all have our go-to makeup routines, but sometimes, a few unexpected tricks can take your beauty game from good to unreal. Whether you’re a makeup newbie or a seasoned pro, these three genius hacks will save you time, enhance your look, and leave everyone wondering, “How does she do it?”

We’ve all been there—dragging ourselves out of bed after a sleepless night, only to face the world looking (and feeling) like a zombie. But what if we told you that five seconds is all you need to fake a full night’s rest? These lightning-fast beauty fixes will have you looking refreshed, glowing, and ready to conquer the day—no coffee required!

Fashion, to me, is all about expressing your personality and having fun. I’ve always believed in taking risks — stepping outside of comfort zones to discover new looks that make me feel confident and alive. Lately, I’ve been embracing playful patterns like polka dots, which add a whimsical yet chic twist to my wardrobe. These bold choices not only brighten my outfits but also uplift my mood — because what you wear should make you feel fabulous!

Contouring is the ultimate makeup magic trick—it can sculpt, define, and transform your face in minutes. But if you’ve ever ended up with muddy stripes instead of a chiseled jawline, you’re not alone. The secret? Contouring for your unique face shape.

Whether you have a round, square, oval, heart, or diamond-shaped face, these pro techniques will help you enhance your natural beauty—no filters needed.

Hey, beautiful people, Waepril here! Throughout my beauty journey with Glambywaepril, I’ve learned that glowing skin is not about having a drawer full of expensive products, but it’s about consistency, care, and a bit of self-love.

There exists a very thin line of difference between the radiant, glass-like skin and that unflattering, greasy shine. Want to know what? That’s what I am going to break down today: the real difference between glowy skin and greasy skin, and yes, they are definitely not the same.

If you have been following me for a while now, you would probably know me the best for my beauty and skincare-related content, apart from the little other things I share here and there. But today I am going to be sharing a more personal side of my life, something that doesn’t involve the regular serums, swatches, or Sephora hauls.

You know what’s wild? Canada produces some of the world’s best skincare ingredients like sea buckthorn from the Maritimes, glacier water from the Rockies, even maple-derived squalene, yet most of us are still following skincare advice from creators who’ve never experienced a single Canadian season!

Hi there! I am sure that with so much that has been going on over social media lately, you must have thought to yourself at least once, ‘What happens when the camera goes off?’ It has happened hundreds of times that my followers have asked me about what a day in my life looks like, being one of the top Canadian Instagram influencers. While I do really enjoy giving you reviews and tips on beauty and skincare products, I also love to answer any questions my lovely followers have for me.

Imagine a quiet morning in the Canadian mountains, the sun peeking over the peaks, and the first light hitting a sparkling lake. There’s something deeply mesmerizing about Canada; that land seems like a dream. Every time I step outside on a cold winter morning or on a late fall afternoon, when the sun is setting and its slowly dipping rays hit me around the corner, I can’t stop myself from picking up my phone and snapping a shot.

It’s your girl Waepril, and today I am back again with another beauty find that is just too good to be kept to myself.  I know that most of you, like me, struggle with dry, chapped lips, especially with this weather that is constantly playing game

I know most of you might have been eyeing its launch, and if you are wondering about its fragrance, whether it is too sweet, too rich, or maybe just another gourmand to sit on your shelf? I am here to spill this tea. Warning: It’s an absolute delight to your senses- delicious in a refined, gourmet dessert way.

Hey loves! Waepril here. I am back again with another new find for you, and I am sure that this one is going to blow your mind. If you have been following me for a while now, you will know that I only rave about products that show some actual results, and today’s product duos are something that have really worked wonders for my skin.

Waepril here. I’m back again with another very insightful blog today, and I am sure you will love it. Today’s post is about my personal journey to becoming one of the top beauty influencers, along with a little more on some of the most famous makeup influencers on TikTok, who should be on every makeup lover’s list. Read on as I uncover more throughout the blog.

As a Canadian beauty creator myself, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to find makeup inspiration that actually works in our climate. While building my platform at GlamByWaepril.com, I’ve spent countless hours researching which top makeup influencers offer content that translates to real-world conditions – not just perfect studio lighting.

Ever wondered how we’re all getting a little fed up while scrolling Instagram these days? Every beauty influencer skincare post sounds exactly the same, and these makeup influencers keep promising me perfect skin like it’s some kind of magic trick.

So I’m curled up here in my Vancouver apartment, scrolling through my feed and noticing something that feels so good deep down. We Canadians are absolutely crushing it in the beauty social media influencer space, and honestly? It’s about time the world noticed what we’ve been quietly perfecting up north.

Skip the basic must-follow lists because I want to talk about the real magic of how making beauty videos for YouTube has utterly transformed MY relationship with makeup. Also, why filming (or not!) might shake up your own routine, confidence, or creativity in ways you never imagined.

If you are following me on Instagram (@april_waepril_beauty), then I am sure that you might have seen me swooning over some of the newest additions to my beauty regimen. But before moving on, let me tell you that Prada Beauty is having a moment, and I am here for it.

In my beauty journey through the years, with a continuously growing family of 370,000 followers, one question has remained constant: “Waepril, how do I know what lipstick is right for me?” The only answer to this is, when it comes to lipstick, no one-size-fits-all. But don’t worry, that’s the fun of it.

So today I will be sharing with you a beauty collection that I have completely fallen in love with- it’s The Crystal Slipper Collection by RMS Beauty. This collection is going to be on the top of your list, too, if you like to keep a no-makeup makeup look.

Thinking of July, I can already imagine the summer vibes and my vacation plans in full swing. For this year, I finally decided to do something that has been on my bucket list for years, an experience that I had been dreaming about for ages. I finally headed out to London to become a part of Wimbledon!

So you’re scrolling through your feed and see another “top makeup influencer” doing a $500 Sephora haul, and you’re like… “How did they even get here?” Trust me, I know that feeling. When I started my journey to becoming one of the top makeup influencers people actually trust, I had the same question.

When people hear “skincare influencer,” they usually imagine neatly stacked serums, perfectly lit GRWMs, and flawless routines with soothing voiceovers. But TikTok skincare influencers like me know the truth is far messier and that what you don’t see is often just as important as what you do. In this post, I want to share some behind-the-scenes realities, because honest transparency helps build better skincare habits and healthier expectations.

When you scroll through your feed and see a flawless cut-crease or dewy skin moment, it’s easy to tap “like” and move on. But have you ever stopped to think why some makeup influencers stick in your head while others fade out?

It’s like every other skincare influencer on Instagram is dishing out “best skincare advice” these days, some of it great, some of it… well, not so much. If you’re scrolling through reels, wondering, “Who actually gets my Canadian skin struggles?” I’m here to save you some time and hassle.

Let me guess, you’ve got tired eyes, it’s well past your bedtime, and yet here you are, deep in TikTok. Suddenly, a skincare routine or product demo pops up and makes you pause. “Wait… do I need this?” Maybe it’s slugging, or a peptide serum, or some $60 LED mask you hadn’t even heard of before. Next thing you know, you’re screenshotting, bookmarking, and thinking, “Okay, maybe this is worth trying.”

Ever wonder why you’re still searching for your next makeup tutorial on YouTube, even after watching the latest TikTok trend? There’s something uniquely powerful about the long-form content that only deliver.

As someone who lives in front of the camera, and behind the editing suite, I’ve seen firsthand how YouTube fosters depth, trust, and storytelling in ways other platforms can’t match.

I’ve spent over $247 in the past six months on makeup products recommended by popular Instagram makeup influencers. Want to know how many actually lived up to the hype? Four. Just four. 

This is why I created GlamByApril, to cut through the picture-perfect Instagram looks. Because honestly, filters, perfect lighting, and editing can make makeup look flawless on screen, but real life is a different story

Hey beauties, April here! 
Let’s talk about the skincare chaos that is on TikTok right now. One minute you’re getting a goldmine of real advice from a dermatologist, and the next, someone’s smearing garlic on their face like it’s magic. Yikes. 

As a beauty influencer and content creator who lives and breathes skincare, I get how social media has opened up a whole new world of skin education. But the thing to remember is that not everything that trends is worth your skin’s trust. 

There’s something undeniably beautiful about truly glowing skin – that healthy, luminous radiance that makes you look vibrant and full of life. At GlamByApril.com, we believe everyone deserves to feel confident in their skin, and achieving that coveted glow is easier than you might think.
This in-depth guide will walk you through everything you need to know – from understanding what makes skin glow to creating the perfect routine with our carefully curated product recommendations.

GlambyApril, a rising name in the beauty industry, offers stunning makeup inspiration for every occasion. Here are five must-try GlambyApril makeup looks that will make you stand out!

In recent years, the beauty industry has seen a significant shift toward ethical and sustainable practices, with cruelty-free beauty leading the charge. More consumers are choosing brands that do not test on animals, recognizing that beauty should never come at the expense of innocent lives. If you haven’t already made the switch, here’s why cruelty-free beauty should be your new standard.

We all have our go-to makeup routines, but sometimes, a few unexpected tricks can take your beauty game from good to unreal. Whether you’re a makeup newbie or a seasoned pro, these three genius hacks will save you time, enhance your look, and leave everyone wondering, “How does she do it?”

But what if we told you that five seconds is all you need to fake a full night’s rest? These lightning-fast beauty fixes will have you looking refreshed, glowing, and ready to conquer the day—no coffee required!

Fashion, to me, is all about expressing your personality and having fun. I’ve always believed in taking risks — stepping outside of comfort zones to discover new looks that make me feel confident and alive. Lately, I’ve been embracing playful patterns like polka dots, which add a whimsical yet chic twist to my wardrobe. These bold choices not only brighten my outfits but also uplift my mood — because what you wear should make you feel fabulous!

Contouring is the ultimate makeup magic trick—it can sculpt, define, and transform your face in minutes. But if you’ve ever ended up with muddy stripes instead of a chiseled jawline, you’re not alone. The secret? Contouring for your unique face shape.

Whether you have a round, square, oval, heart, or diamond-shaped face, these pro techniques will help you enhance your natural beauty—no filters needed.

Spencer Barbosa posted a video dancing with her body hair showing. Didn’t apologize for it. Didn’t explain it. Just… danced. 54 million views later, brands finally got the message about what makes Canadian influencers different. We’re done pretending.

Remember when beauty advice came from that one friend who somehow always knew which mascara wouldn’t smudge during your late night cry session? Now we have 10,000 people on Instagram claiming to be that friend. Spoiler alert! Most of them aren’t.

Okay, so last month I’m researching retinol for this client collaboration, right? And I find myself fact-checking a TikTok creator’s ingredient breakdown against actual dermatology journals. She wasn’t just close. She was dead-on accurate about molecular stability and everything.

I got this wild idea last month – what if I literally lived like different top beauty influencers on YouTube for entire weeks? Not just trying their products or whatever, but actually following their EXACT routines. Wake up times, product application order, even the weird stuff they do.

Most people assume Canada’s beauty influencer scene mirrors the US with all ring lights and sponsored hauls. But flip through TikTok and Instagram for five minutes, and you’ll notice something different. Canadian creators are doing weird, wonderful things that their American counterparts wouldn’t dare try.

Last week, a skincare brand DMed me sounding puzzled. They’d spent $30K on an influencer with 2 million followers. The post got 400 comments with mostly fire emojis and “yasss queen.” Sales that week? Seven units. ONLY SEVEN.

Hello, September! Can you even think how quickly summer passed by, and it’s winding down already now?! Well, I can’t say for anyone else, but deep down, I am definitely a summer girl! I just love the long sunny days, beach trips, glowing skin, minimal makeup, honestly, what’s not to love? I really wish that summer would just last forever, but then again, here we are, stepping into a new season. For most of us, it means stepping into the grind: back to school.

Acne has been my constant struggle, even while I was growing up. Back then, I had no clue why my skin was always breaking out. Growing up, acne was a constant struggle for me. At the time, I didn’t understand why my skin was always breaking out. Mostly, I assumed it was because I had “bad skin” or bad luck. Looking back now, I realize it was pretty clear that my diet was awful.

One of the questions that I regularly get asked is, “How do you get your skin to glow without looking oily?” Trust me, I know it is a very common problem, and no one really knows what to do about it.
