No more bad face day.

Who hasn't Charlotte Tilbury painted the face of? The renowned make-up artist has attended to the likes of Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne and worked with iconic photographers such as Mario Testino.

Her Instagram feed is an extension of that, offering sneak peeks behind-the-scenes of her shoots and classic photos, as well as make-up tips.

Deborah Lippmann

Queen of nails, Deborah Lippmann has been in the game for a long time. Not only has she had her hands on the talons of Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian, crafting them their perfect mitts. She's also created nail varnish collections for GIRLS and True Blood.

The best place to discover new colours and styles, you'll never be short of ideas for your nails with Deborah's Instagram account. But perhaps one of our favourite things about her and the brand is that she names all her varnishes after songs, as she is also a singer herself and worked in music for years.

Jin Soon Choi

Cracked, shimmer and satin matt finishes plus a whole load of other inventive nail creations are what you can expect to find on Jin Soon Choi's account. The celebrity nail artist, who is famed for her editorial work, is great to follow for when you want inspiration for your nails and want more than just plain colour.

From Taylor Swift to Karlie Kloss, Jin Soon Choi has been everywhere and worked with nearly every fashion magazine. A must-follow for the nail obsessive.

Fiona Stiles

Make-up artists and especially celebrity ones know exactly how to keep your face in place. Fiona Stiles is one such artist whose mix of red carpet pictures and editorial have got us hankering to try out new styles.

Mary Greenwell

Mary Greenwell is an icon in her industry. Not only did she used to do the make-up for Princess Diana, among countless other celebrities, her contemporaries and other make-up artists were inspired by her. Charlotte Tilbury says Mary's the reason why she became a make-up artist, and began assisting the artist when she first started out in the industry 20 years ago.

But our real love for her Instagram feed is that she blends (pun intended) her behind-the-scenes looks and editorial work with her everyday life. Here's a recent shoot that she did with us.

While Buy Now Blog Later is primarily a shopping blog (if you hadn't already guessed by the title), Laura (pictured) who runs the blog is great at showing off her new make-up trials too.

From new eyeshadow to pink lipstick, this is a real look at how you can apply make-up at home, without feeling too overwhelmed.

Beauty Is Boring

Despite it's deceiving name, the Beauty Is Boring Instagram feed is anything but. Filled to the digital brim of chic and classic looks, this was originally started as a blog (beautyisboring.com) and is actually a photo essay started by make-up artist Robin Black.


Beauty Is Boring

It is an on going project of Robin's, in which she uses many different types of faces of all ages, gender and race to create different beauty looks.One of the most exciting and unique beauty blogs out there.

Not only does she gives you a look at her stylings for the catwalk she also shows you how to get similar styles by using her own face as a canvas. Useful for doing harder looks at home.
