The Best Beauty Instagrams: Iris Law, Mei Kawajiri, and More

Love was in the air this week, with Valentine s Day and its ardent air inspiring a wealth of whimsically romantic beauty looks. For some, the holiday s host of hearts doubled as a prescription of sorts: Iris Law furnished her bleached blonde buzz cut with a decorative heart, as elsewhere, nail artist Mei Kawajiri crafted a decadent Kawaii manicure of amorous baubles encased in plastic pearls. Euphoria favorite Maude Apatow leaned into English rose romanticism, relying on a flawless complexion, nudish-rose lip, and bold brow—along with a razor-sharp bob—to communicate a dreamy feel. For Joan Smalls and Rowan Blanchard, eyes edged in unexpected hues elevated gazes to can t-look-away levels, while Emily Ratajkowski and Amy Sall proved the enduring power of no-makeup makeup and great skin.

And at New York Fashion Week, Guido Palau put a wet-look spin on one of spring s favorite chops, the easy shag, for Khaite s characteristically chic showing.
