What To Follow
Brulee Silva
From her bleached blonde hair to her unique pronunciation of ‘isso vadai’, #BruleefromLA is the latest viral sensation hitting the Sri Lankan web. This eccentric and hilariously affected character from actress Nimmi Harasgama has been taking local Instagram by storm, making followers both chuckle and cringe with her heavily put-on accent in a parody of ‘Instagram influencer’ culture. If you don’t know Brulee by now, “like, who are you?” Follow her adventures into fashion, makeup and Sri Lanka’s sights and sounds by scaning the code.
Local Influencer: Forever Badagini
Best friends for over 20 years Raahya Lafir and Nadira Cassim started their Instagram page to share their love for the food they eat and the places they go. With over 9k followers, the two review all the restaurants, cafes, etc. in town – from old favourites and new and trendy places to places you’ve never heard of (yet!). They also give you their favourite picks off the menu, accompanied by photos that will make you instantly hungry. They frequently do collaborations and giveaways as well, which is always fun to look out for. So if you’re looking for a place to go, Forever Badagini has you covered.
Pick of the gram: @senishamakeupartistry
Our pick of the gram this week is from makeup artist Nisha Seneviratne, creator of this mind-blowing recreation of Annabelle the doll (of The Conjuring universe fame).
While she also does stunning makeup looks that are more conventional, Nisha is well-known for her transformative cosplay portraits that she does on herself.
Some other recent works include Woody from Toy Story, a few X-Men characters and Scar from The Lion King (sooo much better than what came out in the new Cats live-action movie trailer). Follow the creative magic by following her Instagram page.
