The 10 Best Beauty Instagrams of the Week: Selena Gomez, Tracee Ellis Ross, and More

January 15, 2017

From unexpected pops of pigment to ribbon repurposing, this week’s best beauty Instagrams proved that playful details make for the most memorable captures. Golden Globe winner Tracee Ellis Ross’s daytime look struck a sculptural chord, her trademark collective of curls bound in a set of plaits that swung over her shoulders. Pandora Sykes readied for a day by the docks with an infusion of polish, fastening on silver hoops before encircling a slicked-back bun with a Chanel wrapping ribbon, while Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis’s wetsuit-ready style demonstrated the importance of cheeky sun protection, beach-y hair tie-ups, and sea-inspired color palettes.

Elsewhere, Elle Fanning’s eye-level detailing skewed subtle, a milky swipe of liner painted along her lids to refreshed mod effect. Also throwing it back was Bella Hadid, a set of trompe l’oeil bangs edging out her glossy brunette lengths and furthering the model’s other accessories: retro shades perched atop a choker, crop top, and lollipop. And Selena Gomez continued her Instagram comeback with a behind-the-scenes beauty snap featuring bombshell lengths, red lips, and a spot-on eyeliner application. Because sometimes, the most inspired looks land neatly in the space between primp and pose.
