December 14th, 2016 was a good day for Instagram users. Why? Because that was the day the app added a "Saved" section to every profile, instantly giving all of us the ability to secretly catalog any post.
For beauty lovers, this was big. Gone were the days of screenshotting a notable makeup look or palette to buy, only to lose it in the mess of photos in our camera roll. Now, if we spy something we love, we can simply click "save" and add it to our private vault of inspiration images.
That being said, there's no denying the fact that inspiration can be hard to find when you're inundated with hundreds — nay, thousands — of images daily. That's why we decided to share the photos we've archived in the past month. Hopefully, it'll get your creative juices flowing for the next. Ahead, check out 31 looks to try this July.
If you weren't already convinced that the purple eyeshadow trend is worth trying, Kehlani's lilac look should seal the deal.

When it's too hot for foundation, skip the concealer and stick to a matte red lip and clear eye gloss.
Emphasise your sun-kissed skin with a creamy gold shadow smudged all over your lid. Even without highlighter, you'll be glowing.
When in doubt, match your eyeshadow to your hair colour. Top off the look with a wash of blush in the hollows of your cheeks and a lacquered lip for a glossy finish.
Summer makeup hack: Use the same colour for your eyes, lips, and cheeks. For Zoey Deutch, that includes peach, peach, and more peach.
Want your eyes to pop? After creating a halo effect with your shadow, fill in the centre of your lid with a satin powder that matches your eye colour.
Instead of living in fear of your makeup melting off for the next month, keep things minimal, like with a smudged pink shadow that extends all the way to your brow bone and a tinted lip balm to finish it off.
If you stick to one makeup product this season, make it your liquid highlighter. A coconut oil-based cream or translucent face gloss will do just the trick.
Keep your party makeup in place through hours of sweat with a waterproof eyeliner in the brightest neon colours you can find.
The reinvented cat-eye involves zero liquid-liner mess, tons of bronze eyeshadow, and maybe some face tape for the sake of precision.

Your answer to a last-minute party look: a blotted red lip and loads of mascara.
These gold inner corners prove that rainbow strobing is the trend that keeps on giving.
'70s beauty is back — and that includes this punk-rock makeup. This extended cat-eye is intense, bold, and intimidating in the best way.
Never worry about touching up your lipstick again with this Korean beauty staple. Focus almost all the pigment on the inside of your lip, blotting out the colour close to the edges, et voila — a lazy lip look that lasts through margs and 2-for-1 tacos.
Pink lip gloss will be your best friend this summer, no doubt.
Getting bored of your Naked palette? Substitute the earthy browns for a punchy spectrum of orange.
When you've got hours to spend poolside, why waste another minute on precise Instagram brows? Keep your clear gel close and your arches feathered and messy.

Who would've guessed sunset eyes and white liner would look so damn good together?
Goodbye, millennial pink; hello, sweet baby blue.
Lupita Nyong'o just redefined embellished eyes with these rhinestone details. The best part: Copying it as a easy as paying a visit to the craft store.
Skip the foundation altogether and focus contouring nudes on the cheekbones, lash line, and lips for a cool copy of Zoë Kravtiz's look.
Upside-down liner is cool, but a graphic floating crease is even better. Use a damp tapered brush to drag a neon colour across your lid before ending just below your brow.
The maximalist trend we're always willing to test: blue eyeshadow — and tons of it.
