2. The A to Z Eye Makeup Guide @mero5332

Though only focused on eye makeup techniques, this account is definitely your #HowToGetThatMakeUpRight encyclopedia. Mero’s daily feeds include a collage of the makeup tools she’s using to create that golden eye and she guides you through the process step by step. All in Japanese, but the pictures are pretty straight forward.

4. Not Your Ordinary Fashion Gal @liveglenwood

A Japanese model, TV personality, a mother of two and a down-to-earth amazingly looking woman, Jun Hasegawa’s account is just as fashion-inspiring as it is simply cool to look at for your daily fix of good vibes and natural inspiration.

5. Your Daily Outfit Coordination @saaaay_k

If there was a fairy of daily outfit coordination, she’d most probably be this lady. Daily posts of elegantly coordinated fashion items from head to toe, explained to users in brand hashtags — i.e. telling you where to head to to get that impressive look. The best thing about it? Most of those clothes can be bought at Uniqlo, Zara, GU and other reasonably-priced fashion brands — but somehow this user makes them all look haute couture.
