10 Celeb Beauty Pros You Need to Follow for Major Hair, Makeup and Nail Inspo
Photo: Courtesy of Instagram1/12You probably know the OGs like Pat McGrath, Chris McMillan and Jin Soon Choi. But there’s a new set of stars on the rise in the beauty industry, and you’re just as likely to find them on Instagram or blogs as you are backstage and at shoots. Here’s why you should take note of these newcomers.

Vanngo takes mere mortals (well, kind of) like Miranda Kerr, Selena Gomez and the OG, Cindy Crawford, and turns them into flawless, pore-less versions of themselves. Photoshop need not apply when he’s around, because he sets the stage for every look with gorgeous, perfected skin.

Ott’s rainbow brights are unmatched — although she’s just as good with more natural hues. On any given day, you can find loyal clients like models Doutzen Kroes and Anja Rubik in her New York City salon, Suite Caroline.

Maybe you’ve seen her shattered glass nails on Insta (if not, get there ASAP). Park is giving new momentum to the world of nail art. She goes above and beyond with weird, light-catching designs look different from every angle. They’re unique in every sense of the word—so it should be no surprise that she’s a superstar in her home country of South Korea.

Tiller shot to fame overnight when Amy Schumer gave her a shout-out for her smoky eye during her thank-you speech at the 2015 Emmy Awards. She’s still the comedian’s go-to girl; singer Tinashe and Miss Universe Olivia Culpo also call on her for her handiwork. And if you’re wondering, it’s totally true — her smoky eyes are unreal.

The man behind the colored coifs of Kylie Jenner and Nicole Richie is best known for his imaginative, über-creative takes on hair color (he also dreamed up the concept of glitter roots, if that’s any indication). Any shade you’d find in a box of crayons is fair game for Moon — as are Day-Glo brights.

The Joico celebrity hair artist is a godsend for brunettes. The mane man for dark-haired ladies like Lucy Hale and Mila Kunis, De Souza keeps it subtle but cool with babylights and other barely-there changes—no see-them-from-a-mile-away streaks here.

Makeup artist to celebs like Pia Mia and #bosslady Taraji P. Henson, Merante kills it when it comes to a smoldering eye and not-so-subtle lip. Merante isn’t afraid of a full face, either, and he doesn’t shy away from color. Check out his work whenever you need a little inspo to rev up your look.

Having worked with starlets like T. Swift, Karlie Kloss and Dakota Fanning, Frank B.’s work tends to pair dewy, flawless skin with edgier notes, like a plum lip or major cat-eye. Newly added to his resumé? A collab with Milk Makeup, an upcoming cosmetics line (set to launch next month) from Fashion Week powerhouse Milk Studios.

Farid’s client list reads like a roll call for the Victoria’s Secret runway (think models-of-the-moment Gigi Hadid, Martha Hunt and Jasmine Tookes). And for good reason: She’s a mastermind when it comes to texture and volume. Her work is what you imagine when you think of perfectly tousled bedhead.

The curl doctor is in! (Really, that’s his nickname). There’s no texture too coarse or unmanageable for Amiel, who can take even the most damaged natural hair and turn it into soft, controllable curls. On top of that, clients report being able to go two or more months in between cuts.
