The brainchild of best friends Jules and Gebs, @RavveBeauty is the Instagram account dedicated to showcasing and celebrating all that is disturbing, disarming and alluring when it comes to underground beauty. Doubled up contact lenses, iridescent face shimmer, obscure facial piercings, heads shaved to look like flowers in full bloom,unibrows, no brows, wiggly brows. Lending us their well-honed eye, here they pick their top beauty Instagrams of the month.

Over the past few years, the beauty industry has been increasingly distancing itself from the animal kingdom, with many brands going vegan and cruelty-free. But the rejection of animal byproducts in beauty does not mean the end of our appetite for fierce animal-inspired looks.

We’ve hunted far and wide around Instagram to bring you the most stunning expressions of animals and humans becoming one. We’re not talking amateur hour of kitty cat headbands or a Playboy bunny tail. It’s not Halloween yet. We mean a true embrace of the animal spirit in beauty, at the crossroads of make-up artistry, special effects, visual arts, jewellery and tattoos.

So here to help satisfy your primal instincts, the best in animal beauty.
