Tomorrow, the sun will reach its northernmost point on the equator, and mark the first official day of summer. This week’s round up of best beauty Instagrams showcases an array of eye catching hair and makeup ideas worth adding to your personal lookbook for the hottest months ahead.
A fresh-faced Beyoncé gave festival hair a romantic twist by decorating her wispy knot with pink carnations and scattered bobby pins. Meanwhile, model Elsa Hosk displayed a set of long, sleek legs while sitting cross-legged next to a lush bed of blooms.
On the other side of the makeup spectrum was 19-year-old Zendaya, who took to her Instagram account to show off her “bomb look” with a flawless, lavender cut crease and metallic, blue lids.
Gigi Hadid traded her bombshell blowout and nude makeup palette, for a halo of soft, face-framing tendrils and a scene-stealing siren pout.
Elsewhere, Romee Strijd demonstrated how a Victoria’s Secret model does beach babe (with a little help from her bronzed, sun-kissed complexion and high-impact makeup).
Khloé Kardashian traded in her blonde, collarbone-grazing lob for a long, lavender wig for North’s mermaid themed birthday party in Calabasas.
If you’re still not convinced that braids (in every iteration) are the hairstyle of the moment, Kourtney Kardashian and Georgia May Jagger might convince you otherwise. The eldest Kardashian sister opted for a tight, waist-skimming, side braid that began at the crown of her head, while Jagger wove her highlighted mane into a loose, fishtail plait to hold her tresses in place against the sea breeze.
Also shaping up to be a hot weather hair staple is the “hun” (otherwise known as the half bun) which Lebanese beauty queen Nadine Njeim added a chic twist to. The previous Miss World contestant pulled a portion of her raven locks into fluffy, double buns, to demonstrate that two is better than one.
Summer usually calls for bright coral and hot pink fingertips, or—according to Palestinian DJ and model duo, Sama and Haya Khadra (also known as Simi and Haze)—quirky nail art. The twins posted a photo to their joint Instagram account that showcased a set of baby pink nails decorated with various brand logos—including the LV monogram and the Nike check.
