Before social media, my first sources of beauty inspiration were magazines. From them, I learned that an intense eye look paired best with a neutral lip and that my concealer should be a little bit lighter than my actual skin tone to brighten my under-eye area and help me look more awake. But the truth is that most of the time, these tips were accompanied by a picture of a model who didn’t look like me, of course with a look done by a professional.
Thankfully, with the rise of Instagram, many people have jumped into the beauty space with their own take on beauty trends. These Instagrammers show their unique style and make their own rules when it comes to what they choose to wear on their faces, breaking with the beauty standards that magazines once portrayed. Increased representation in Hollywood has also been a major plus for beauty, as Latinx stars across film, music, and more rock statement looks that show off the best of their natural features.
If you, like me, are looking for inspiration from people you can relate to, we’ve highlighted 10 stunning beauty looks as seen on Latinx creators and stars across Instagram. These fall makeup looks in particular are worth saving into your “Beauty Inspo” collection to use as a makeup guide this fall. From amazing colorful eye looks to Euphoria-like makeup, keep scrolling to find your best match.

Rachel Zegler's makeup look here may be professionally done by makeup artist Allan Avendaño, but it's surprisingly easy to DIY this sultry glow. Just be sure to prep your skin and blend out a few coordinating warm brown shades on your eyes, cheeks, and lips.
Sharp and Soft

Fenty Beauty’s global makeup artist has shared so many incredible looks in her Instagram feed. Here, she gave a touch of elegance to a rosy-toned makeup look by adding a very sharp cat eye.
Chromatic Wonderland

The Euphoria cast has nothing on Brooklyn-based drag queen Vena Cava's makeup looks. I love the drama of the eyes paired with the amazing ombre effect on the lips she created for this one.
Ethereal Shadow

Everyone is raving about the Anastasia Beverly Hills x Jackie Aina eyeshadow palette, and here’s a stunning example why. Giovanna Gines used the shades Soleil, Lituation, and Sponsored to create this impressive look.
Autumn Warmth
A cool trick I recently learned to add bright pop of color to an eye makeup look without covering my entire lid is to apply it in just the inner corner. Here, Cuban beauty vlogger Kathleen created the look by using yellow and blending it into a coffee shade on the rest of her lid.
Electric Lemon-Lime

Graphic eyeliner is a hard yes when it comes to experimenting this season. The yellow and green gradient seen here on Isabela Merced is a sure way to turn heads.
Sharpness and Shimmer

If you prefer a more classic look but still want to experiment, try adding some pale green shimmer to your sharp smoky eye.
Golden Glamour
I’m obsessed with this look that Panamanian vlogger Iris Beilin recreated from Lizzo’s MTV VMA performance.
Classic Smoke
And, of course, a smoky eye look and bold brows is the perfect complement to your killer nail game.
