Tove Lo/InstagramRed colour wash eyes, by Tove Lo
Talented musician Tove Lo isn't afraid to try something different. Case in point: this vibrant red eyeshadow.

Lou Teasdale/InstagramGlitter and gloss, by Lou Teasdale
Hairstylist and makeup artist Lou Teasdale showcases a triple threat with this look with the on-point highlight, glitter smoky eye and glossy pout. Stick to creamy textures to recreate this.
The perfect liquid liner, by Shope Delano
Shope is the Queen of winged liner, but she proves you don't have to go overboard with a thick layer. Keep things fine and pretty, just like Shope.
The Motheredit/InstagramThe hot pink pout, by Becki Cox
The Mother Edit Blogger and former GLAMOUR staffer Becki Cox is a pro when it comes to the bold lip/simple eye combo. Follow her lead and keep the eyes bare with just a slick of mascara.
Alanna Arrington/InstagramThe large lashes, by Alanna Arrington
We'd seriously like to know which mascara Alanna is using here because LASH GOALS! Sometimes all it takes for a standout beauty look is some ultra long, luscious eyelashes.
Angelicablick/InstagramThe bold eye AND lip, by Angelica Blick
We're constantly told in the beauty world that you must pick one feature to go bold with, rather than emphasising both your eyes and your lips. Angelica proves that with a little confidence and a rock'n'roll attitude, you can totally pull off both from time to time.
hannacrosskey/InstagramThe sophisticated evening look, by Hannah Crosskey
We often associate evening-time beauty with seriously smoky eyes or super bold lips, but Hannah's simple yet incredibly chic look proves you don't need to overdo it. A feline flick, nude lip shade and arched brows make for an understated beauty hat-trick.
jaclynhill/InstagramThe molten metallic eye, by Jaclyn Hill
Jaclyn's Instagram is jam-packed with makeup ideas, but this look is one of our favourites. The bronzey gold shadow is seriously special.
inmysundaybest/InstagramThe daytime red lip, by Sade at In My Sunday Best
Want to know how to rock a bright lipstick during the daytime? Follow the lovely Sade's lead and keep the rest of your face pared-down. Also try to opt for matte shades, which often feel more wearable.
lizagoldenreal/InstagramThe bold brows, by Liza Golden-Bhojwani
Liza is a natural beauty, and her thick, perfectly shaped brows are totally dreamy. Embrace your full eyebrows with a simple slick of clear mascara, or if they are on the thinner side, use a thin-nibbed pencil to fill them out a little.
mixedgemsbeauty/InstagramThe rose gold eyes, by Rose Gallagher
Selfridges beauty insider and blogger Rose is always sharing some great makeup tips and skills on her Instagram and this rose gold look had us swooning. Use the colour under your eyes as well as on your lids, just like Rose.
dominikagrnova/InstagramThe pink eye & nail combo, by Dominika Grnova
Model Dominika is always sporting fun looks she's had done on shoots and projects by the coolest artists. Matching your nails and eyeshadow or lipstick is such a cute and cool idea.
little_magpie1/InstagramThe on-point contour, by Amy Bell
The Little Magpie's Amy is simply stunning, so she looks gorgeous whatever she does with her makeup. We love this understated look, however, particularly due to those seriously sculpted cheekbones.
charlottebuttrick/InstagramThe glossy pout, by Charlotte Buttrick
A simple glossy red lip and some winged eyeliner is all you need, sometimes. It's old school Hollywood perfection.
jesteem_kasia/InstagramThe gothic lip shade, by Kasia Szymków
Kasia shows us the fail-safe way to glam up a cosy grey jumper: with a statement pout. Her dark blackcurrant lipstick is the stuff of beauty junkie dreams.
kate.lavie/InstagramThe pop of pink, by Kate Lavie
Proving pink is wearable, Kate looks ultra fresh and pretty in this snap. We're copying this look ASAP.
Lisa_benefit/InstagramThe two-tone lip, by Lisa Potter-Dixon
Can't decide which lip colour to wear? Take a leaf out of Lisa's book and wear a different one on each lip! We love the creativity of this idea.
madeleine_shaw_/InstagramThe natural flushed cheeks, by Madeleine Shaw
Lifestyle guru Madeleine usually opts for pared-down makeup, meaning she's our go-to gal for 'no makeup' makeup inspo. We adore her ultra pretty pink flushed cheeks and defined eyes in this snap.
sara_luxe/InstagramThe all-over red look, by Sara Luxe
Stylist Sara always has the coolest hair, and we think her makeup is great too. Just check out this look, where she braves red lipstick and red shadow on the eyes.
nikki_makeup/InstagramThe gorgeous highlight, by Nikki Wolff
As a makeup artist, we're constantly wowed by the looks Nikki creates on her clients. But she also always looks insanely gorge herself, too. Just check out those brows and her dreamy highlighted cheekbones.
ada_oguntodu/InstagramThe classic red lip, by Ada Oguntodu
The biggest lesson we've learnt over the years in beauty? All you really need is a great red lipstick.
