In case it has escaped your notice, the season of change is upon us. The last few weeks alone are proof enough—from Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday press tour glow-up to Belly Conklin’s pivotal haircut in The Summer I Turned Pretty, it seems that a beauty shake-up is on everyone’s minds. Perhaps it is done in a bid to herald in a new phase in life, or maybe it has to do with the bountiful amount of inspiration arising from the spring/summer 2026 presentations. No matter the reason, one thing remains clear: the best switch-ups are the ones that take you out of your comfort zone. The multitude of looks from New York Fashion Week are a good place to start. And, of course, certain celebrity Instagram accounts.
It has to be said that not all profiles are made equal. Instead of spending hours trawling through variations of clean girl minimalism and old school Hollywood glam, consider Vogue Singapore’s edit of the most head-turning make-up looks spotted on our favourite celebrities—many of whom opt to laugh in the face of convention this 2025. See: Dove Cameron’s jaw-dropping inclusions that comprise elven ears and sculptural horns, or the bold eyeshadow sensibilities sported by up-and-coming actress, Isabela Merced. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Spy our full curation of daring beauty-focused celebrity Instagram accounts to follow below and get to copping your favourite looks, stat.

Audrey Nuna
Nothing is out of the realm of possibility for this American rapper and singer—especially when it comes to her beauty sensibilities. In fact, it’s safe to say that her no-holds-barred performance as the singing voice of Mira from highly-celebrated movie K-Pop Demon Hunters is accurately reflected in her beauty choices which range from exaggeratedly-long braids to neon-coloured teeth.

Isabela Merced
At 24 years old, Isabela Merced is a hit at the box office and also within the beauty community. Her latest daring hair chop is punctuated with elegant yet edgy details that draw the eye, from black lip liner to unexpected blush and bronzer combinations.

Chappell Roan
Need we say more? There is no better way to sum up this singer’s aesthetic than perhaps this: theatricality at its finest.
4 / 7
Dove Cameron
The one thing Dove is consistent about is her tendency to keep everyone on their toes, make-up wise. As much as she favours an extended feline flick and punchy lipstick, wigs, ‘20s inspired arches, and even prosthetics are very much within her wheelhouse too.

We’d be remiss not to include this boundary-defying girl group into our roundup. From cyberpunk to high fantasy, the word impossible is certainly not in their lexicon.

Rhea Raj
No one does a standout eyeshadow moment quite as well. The aforementioned vivid and vibrant hues are always tempered perfectly with sleek hair looks that include butt-grazing extensions, mermaid waves and more.

Choi Yena
The saccharine sweet looks from this South Korean soloist is always accompanied by just a hint of zany that makes for an intriguing visual. Think hair horns, unexpected blush placements, and mismatched manicures.
