I’m constantly inspired by the amazingly creative people who live and create in Cape Town. It’s part of the reason I love this city so much. From artists to designers, from the techy bunch to the media crowd. They all create such amazing work and I’m always jealous inspired by what they share online. Of late, I’ve been particularly in awe of the confidence and seemingly effortless perfection of the Beauty Blogger community.
The Confidence of Cape Town Beauty Bloggers
Even though I’m mostly green with envy when I scroll through the feeds of these ever gorgeous girls, I’m always struck by the good that they’re doing for the world. Some might see their posts and subject matter as superficial, vain and inconsequential. But I see it differently. I see these Beauty Bloggers as the trailblazers of self-confidence.
I see these Beauty Bloggers as the trailblazers of self-confidence.
By demonstrating their own self-confidence they’re encouraging us, their readers, to do the same. To relish our good hair days and fabulous new lip colour. On top of that they’re showing us the tips, tricks and products to help us get a step closer to a higher self confidence. I believe that confidence is built on many aspects of the self, and physical appearance and aesthetics is just one of those areas.
So to show some love for my Beauty Blogger heroines of Cape Town, I’ve put together my list of Cape Town Beauty Bloggers to follow. These are some that I was already following, as well as some that were suggested to me by my readers, who I’ll promptly start following…

Just FYI not all on the list are Cape Town bloggers.
Oh please let me know which ones are not in Cape Town. I really do want it to be an accurate list and have checked each one. Let me know which one’s I got incorrect.
You have removed the one I had spotted. The other is a Cape Town blogger but also often covers out of town launches so had me confused for a minute 😛
Such a lovely list of bloggers! I have seen most of their blogs and they are so inspiring:)
