December 14th, 2016 was a good day for Instagram users. Why? Because that was the day the app added a "Saved" section to every profile, instantly giving all of us the ability to secretly catalog any post.
For beauty lovers, this was big. Gone were the days of screenshotting a notable makeup look or palette to buy, only to lose it in the mess of photos in our camera roll. Now, if we spy something we love, we can simply click "save" and add it to our private vault of inspiration images.
That being said, there's no denying the fact that inspiration can be hard to find when you're inundated with hundreds — nay, thousands — of images daily. That's why we decided to share the photos we've archived in the past month. Hopefully, it'll get your creative juices flowing for the next. Ahead, check out 31 looks to try this August.
Consider this look your Parisian starter pack: second-day bedhead, your favourite don't-look-at-me sunnies, and a classic red (not too warm, not too cool) lipstick.
Sorry blue, but in August, purple is the warmest colour — and everyone is wearing it, including Westworld 's Thandie Newton.
No-fuss eye makeup does exist — and it almost always includes inner-corner strobing. Find your favourite celestial shade, tap it on the innermost part of your eye, then finish it off with a jet-black liquid liner.
When you've got Technicolour eyes like Bella Hadid, there's never not a reason to cover your entire lid in gold glitter.
The key to copying Lily James' iridescent eye makeup includes a generous amount of liquid eyeshadow and a precision tip liner packed with glitter.
Colour-blocked eyelids have caught the attention of Amandla Stenberg and Jasmine Sanders — and we love the look.
Singer/songwriter Dua Lipa's fuchsia eye makeup isn't just reserved for young rockstars with a makeup artist on call. It's as simple as dragging Make Up For Ever's Aqua XL Paint across your lid and cleaning up the uneven edges with a clean brush. Yep, that's it.
...or keep the look messy and smudged before pairing it with a matching lip.
Sometimes, simple is best — just ask Jessica Williams. Instead of wearing a full face of makeup, the actress and comedian kept her base fresh and her eyes painted with a thumbprint of blue liner on her outer corners.
Faking a vacation glow is easy when you have a multipurpose cream that works on your eyes, cheeks, and lips.
Brown eyeliner is a softer alternative to black and looks just as amazing in fall.
Simihaze forecasts "acid OJ" as the next colour trend to watch.
If that's too far out of your comfort zone, go for something soft, like this peachy matte.
Bubblegum pink lip gloss might have been your thing in the '90s, but for Patrick Ta, 2018 is all about the cool caramel shine.
Orchid purple eyeshadow is a must-try for anyone with a warm undertone.
Even Amanda Seyfried's knows that blotted lips are in.
Smoky eyes don't only exist in the dead of winter — swap out your matte black for a slightly iridescent purple and you'll be ready for every last rooftop party this season.
And if that rooftop party turns out to be an underground rave in the depths of the East Village, smudge that smoke out and add an alarmingly bright pink to the mix.
A full body glow is just as important as the highlighter on your cheekbones — just ask Zendaya.
When you've got a bit more time on your hands, try this lollipop liner look that stacks some of the most unlikely colours on top of your lash line. Trust us, all eyes will be on you.
The queen of glow, makeup artist Nam Vo, also happens to be the mastermind behind our favourite shiny lids. Update the look for fall by ditching the translucent gloss and opting for one that's loaded with colour.
If you still haven't tried upside-down liner (where have you been?!), maybe it's time you do. Test Millie Bobby Brown's hot-pink look for Labor Day weekend and life will never be the same.
A felt-tip eyeliner won't transform you into Zoë Kravitz, but it will help you recreate her red carpet eye look. Invest in some tinted brow gel — and an even better brow groomer — and you're halfway there.
Luckily, pink eyeshadow doesn't make you look like you're suffering through an allergy attack. Just look at Mila Kunis, who wears the shade like a pro.
Make your eyes really pop with a bold liquid liner that extends from your top and bottom lash lines.
Summer's almost over, but you can mimic your best beachside glow with a pink highlighter and tons of blush.
White eyeliner isn't only here to hide your hungover eyes.
Oxblood, mulled wine, burgundy: Whatever your fall shade of choice is, make it monochromatic.
A graphic eye look for anyone who's over their classic cat-eye.
Purple lipstick is a rad trend we all tried. But for those of us who tried, then subsequently failed to pull it off, here's a flattering alternative: bright orange. Add a wash of a similar colour to your lids and you've got a two-step fall routine mastered.
You don't have to be Elsa from Frozen to rock an icy blue eyeshadow. Just make sure it's the focal point of the entire look and you'll nail the chill vibes.
