Keep scrolling to see the 10 Instagrammers to follow for your daily dose of beauty.

3. ALYSSA COSCARELLI
Why you should follow her: Fringe inspo. We come back to Alyssa time and again for her bob and equally natty fringe. Whether worn loose and wild or fastened with clips, she has strong hair (and fashion) game.

Nothing could be glowier than highlighter, a golden hairclip and a bright-white top.
Prepare for hair accessory envy.
4. NNENNA ECHEM
Why you should follow her: She has the glowiest skin ever. Letting her outfits do the talking, Nnenna keeps her makeup simple by letting that highlighter and her beautiful face steal the show.
Follow: @nnennaechem
Applying just the subtlest wash of colour on your eyelids creates a polished look with skin taking centre stage.
Gloss is everything. Apply liberally to lips for a stylish contrast with more industrial fabrics like denim.
5. ADA OGUNTODU
Why you should follow her: Proving that it isn't just for date night, Ada rocks a scarlet pout with every outfit as her signature beauty look.
Follow: @ada_oguntodu
Dress down a red lip, pearls and a tailored suit with trainers.
A bold lip looks beautiful worn with oversized winter layers.
6. MEGAN ELLABY
Why you should follow her: Megan always brings out the colour (think green nails, blue eye shadow and red-on-red outfits). Megan takes a kaleidoscopic approach to beauty and fashion—inspiring all of us to step outside our neutral safety net.

Trace a classic feline flick with a line of coloured eye shadow for a relaxed yet statement makeup look.
Pearls are always appropriate.

Follow: @marianne_theodorsen
Indulge your inner maximalist by layering hair slides over simple, scraped-back hair.
Whoever said you had to stick to one nail colour?
9. CHAR ELLESSE
Why you should follow her: Char pushes the beauty boundaries. Monochromatic eye shadow in primary colours and bleached brows pop against bare nails and simple skin for a truly editorial approach to makeup.
Follow: @ellessechar
Taking the cut crease trend even further, bring the colour up towards your brows for a fun twist on eyeliner.
Berry hues aren't just for lips. They look beautiful on the eyelids too.
10. EMMA BRESCHI
Why you should follow her: Joyful makeup that plays with colour for truly fun looks. Oh, and puppies.
Follow: @emmabreschi
There's no risk of this bubblegum-pink lipstick looking tween when paired with a thick slick of eyeliner.
Immediately adding frosted blue eye shadow to our wish list.
