Extra doesn't quite cover it...
Rio De Janeiro is currently holding their yearly awe-inspiring event: Carnival! And while Brazilians and lots of tourists party for a full week in the sun, we watch on via Instagram (wishing that instead, we were there, tanning in Copacabana or drinking coconut water in Ipanema).
As you'd expect, weeks and weeks of preparation goes into curating the incredible costumes, and women spend hours in hair and makeup to make their skin glow, their makeup pop and their hair hold in the most elaborate styles.
Inspired by jaw-dropping feathery and glittery looks, we've decided to compile an edit of the best beauty snaps we've seen so far (which we'll keep updated - watch this space), as well as some of the very best from over the years.
So next time you head to a festival, or impulsively buy tickets to Rio's Carnival after seeing these images, you have enough inspo to put together an Insta-worthy look.
