TOTALLY A RAVVE
IG's Stunning, Rebellious Beauty Page
As each of us is presently becoming more and more familiar with terms such as self-quarantining and social distancing, any sign of a silver lining seems to be growing increasingly distant. While we find ourselves hunkering down into our enclosed and separate safe spaces, it is more important than ever to practice self-care in all its forms, both big and small. When the days seem to fade into one another, and pajamas are the everyday choice, even the smallest “treat yo’ self” goes a long way. Whether it be doing your makeup a little extra sparkly, putting on an outfit you wouldn’t even dare to wear out, or (a growing trend) going for a more dramatic dye job or major hair chop — we have found the ultimate space to find that beauty inspiration you’ve been needing.
A modern oracle on underground beauty, Instagram account Ravve Beauty is the page giving us all the feels and a 2020 vision for our next in-home look. Rebellious and unconventional in each and every post, Ravve expounds on all things unorthodox and inexplicably millennial, showcasing tattoos outside the realm of normality, piercings mapped across hands and bridges of noses, jewelry fit for royalty, and absolute heaps of glitter.
Across the platform, no race is unrepresented, and less-common conditions such as different colored irises, vitiligo, and albinism are highly celebrated. Celebrity icons such as Dua Lipa, FKA Twigs, Lizzo, and cast members of Euphoria are often featured on the page. Another long-standing favorite of the Instagram account is Tibetin artist and model, Tsunaina. Her distinguished features are the lovechild of Pocohantes meets Mulan meet the Na’vi — the blue divinities from Avatar. Her broad nose and prominent freckles embody the quintessence of the page’s nature: the glorification of the uncommon beauty.
Although at times, slightly unsettling and verging on the edge of creepy, Ravve’s images highlight the beauty in versatile and the non-conforming beauty looks. All the styles we wish we were pulling off can be found on the Insta page, however, err on the side of caution — all it will take is one glance and you might find yourself yearning to shave your head, apply eyeliner to everywhere but the lids of your eyes, and glitter the entire surface of your body.
