9 Alt Fashion And Beauty Bloggers To Inspire You To Up Your Creativity

If you like your hair in all shades of rainbow, a spinkling of glitter with extra kickass vibes, inked-up tattoos for days and prefer a vampy purple lipstick over a soft nude any day of the week, then we have the beauty bloggers for you.

These are the girls who break the rules, redefine the standards, apply the products that others shy away from and step outside the box of the beauty blogging world.

Think bright blue hair that's still super shiny and shampoo advert worthy. Think top to toe tattoos that any Instagrammer would be proud of. Think ghostly pale skin with a perfectly blended smokey eye.

Edge, grunge, punk and goth are just as beautiful as the average, so look no further than our round up of 9 alt beauty bloggers who’ll inspire you to up your creativity with makeup and fashion.
