Instagram beauty gurus are constantly hustling, creating fresh, stunning new looks for us to take inspiration from, recreate, or simply admire. We’re big fans of the wonderful world that is Instagram beauty, so let’s show you around and talk about the best Insta looks of the week.
Smoked Eyes
This bold smokey eye, done by @nikki_makeup on the stunning Lulu Reynolds, brings all the focus onto the eyes. The glowy base and almost bare lips create a stunning contrast to the eye makeup. Done with a gel liner or black eyeshadow, the eyes take inspiration from grunge and punk, while still maintaining a sophisticated style. The dramatic mascara is the cherry on top of the already striking look, perfectly framing Reynolds’ eyes.
Bedazzled Goth
Jazzelle Zanaughtti, AKA @uglyworldwide on Instagram, posted a bedazzled goth-inspired look on their page and had commenters fawning over them. From the gems on the eyebrows to the black lip liner, there’s not a single thing we’d change about this look. The simple fox eye and warm-toned blush gave the look a beautiful simplicity between the eyebrows and lip colour.
Blushing Babe
Cindy Kimberly (@wolfiecindy), shared this rosy look on her Instagram. Paired with the ribbon in her hair and the white dress, this look gave her an angelic beauty. The silver and peach eye makeup made her eyes stand out, without making it too dramatic and the rosy cheeks and glossy lips matched the neutral colours on her eyes.
Angel Eyes
@glamxbrit on Instagram posted this ethereal light blue eyeshadow look and had everyone gushing over her in the comments. The nude lip and rosy cheek complemented the eyes perfectly and brought the look to life. The iridescent blue highlights placed on her cheekbones and inner corner gave her an exquisite glow.
You Give Me Butterflies
Ella Snyder (@ellasnyder) showed off this beautiful makeup look done by Zaheer Sukhnandan (@zaheersyn) featuring a gorgeous curved wing framing the bright orange eyeshadow on her eyelid. Bold eye makeup is having a moment in the beauty world right now, and we’re all for it. Everyone’s going for the understated base paired with a daring eye look, creating this beautiful spotlight on the eyes.
Earth Envy
We’re a big fan of green, and this look by Valerie Vonprisk (@valerievonprisk) on Tommy Genesis is everything we needed from the internet today. This gold halo eye and nude glossy lip paired with the cool-toned contour and airbrushed base give her an earthy luminance.
Squiggles
Ashley Quiroz (@ashghotcakess) gave us this wavy graphic liner using all Revlon products. The summery inner corner and the precise eyeliner beautifully contract each other. Her flawless base was topped off with some peach blush and subtle highlighter.
Rosy Gem
Ayami Okano (@ayami_okano__) decided to hop on the super blush trend, keeping her eyes and lips as simple as possible and drawing all attention to her cheeks. This rosy look was complete with a few colourful gemstones placed around her eyes. Her voluminous hair and chunky jewellery were the icing on the cake for this look.
Fiery & Fierce
Anya Kochergina created this stunning blood-red eye look and shared it to her Instagram page (@annrsb). The sharp, angular liner created this fierce and intense effect around her eyes. The black and red mascara and the magenta eye shadow added some more dimension to the look. The bright colours complemented the model’s dark brown eyes beautifully.
