The Best Makeup Looks From Euphoria That You Can Do From Home

In this year’s world of premier television, the HBO Gen-Z zeitgest-y series (similar to Skins UK), Euphoria garnered a large fandom; and not just for the raw, unfiltered episodes. The show has become an emblem in the beauty community for unrivaled makeup artistry characterized by whimsical and sultry experimentation, lots of color and unbridled personality.

Surprisingly, the carefully curated makeup looks are relatively easy to the comfort of your bedroom. Yup, you read that correctly. With the correct products and research, we ultimately can recreate our fan-favorites without relying on the expertise of a makeup artist. So without further ado, here’s the best makeup looks from Euphoria you can do from home, along with recommended products and brands to buy. Enjoy!

1. Rue’s Shimmering Eyes

The series’ favorite protagonist, Rue quickly becomes recognized for her signature under-eye look. The under-eye get-up basically comprises of triangles of glitter, adding subtle zest to Rue’s otherwise subdued, lowkey personal style. What’s great about this makeup is, you can dress it up or dial it down, depending on your mood and/or the situation. As someone who goes out a lot in NYC, I especially appreciate Rue’s Shimmering Eye look for whenever I have impending clubbing plans. To duplicate this look without the hassle, I recommend the following brands and products:

Glitter Gelée by Glossier
Glitter Shot All-Over Glitter Crush by SMITH & CULT
Metallic Glitter by NYX Cosmetics
Hungry Ghost Pressed Glitter by Colourpop Cosmetics
Stardust Glitter by elf Cosmetics

2. Jules’ Colorful Eyeshadows

The entire Euphoria cast dons gorgeous and elaborate eye shadow in every episode; and Jules is a prime example of the show’s insane artistic creativity. Throughout the season, Jules is hailed as an expert in the art of mixing, blending, and matching bright, vibrant hued eyeshadows — all in her pursuit to create eye-turning, memorable impressions. I am not a huge colorful eyeshadow gal, however, I do have a deep appreciation for when makeup artists push boundaries, because tbh, I am pretty basic with my routine. If you’re looking for the best eyeshadow palettes to get started on recreating the Jules look, here’s my list of recommendations:

Take Me Back To Brazil by BH Cosmetics
Marvelous Mattes Reloaded Palette by Makeup Revolution
Bright Vibes Neon Pressed Pigment Palette by VIOLET VOSS
Neon Obsessions Palette by HUDA BEAUTY
Blue Moon Shadow Palette by Colourpop Cosmetics
MAKEUP Ultimate Shadow Palette by NYX Cosmetics

3. Maddie’s Ombre Eyeshadow

I never heard nor appreciated the ombre eyeshadow, until I fell in love with Maddie, the ultimate beauty queen and makeup guru of the series. Maddie amassed a dedicated fandom with her eclectic, edgy looks that inspired many, including myself, to experiment with decorative ideas and depart from the status quo. What I love most about her eyeshadow look is, it embodies her to the core: she’s glamorous and alluring, yet confident and strong; the bold display goes to show the power of makeup, which is something that should inspire all of us. To achieve this look, you’ll need a colorful eyeshadow palette with a wide range of colors, some killer liquid top eyeliner, and of course, rhinestone jewels: the key element of the ombre eyeshadow. Here’s what you should buy ASAP:

Eyeshadow:
Lidstar Duo by Glossier
Rainbow Road Eyeshadow Palette by Colourpop Cosmetics
The James Charles Palette by Morphe
Strawberry Cream Color Palette by Morphe

4. Cassie’s Romantic Lips and Eyes

Inspired by Alabama Whitman from True Romance, Cassie dares to excite with sultry eyes and bright lips. Fans fell in love with this creative decision involving blue shadow (a major risk, IMO), lots of glitter, and an orange-pink lip color. For extra measure, she adds blue chunky heart-shaped earrings, an accessory that certainly veers from the norm in the best way possible. Personally, I think we’ll be seeing this look replicated by the masses during Halloweekend, which makes total sense since the concept of Halloween itself encourages artistic expression. Plus, it’s a euphoria makeup look that is so simple to do from home. If you want to pull of this get-up for a costume party, or even for going out, you need to have a collection of products on-hand, considering there’s a lot of elements incorporated. Here’s what I recommend:

Eyeshadows and Glitter:
Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette by HUDA BEAUTY
Atlantic Blue Eyeshadow Palette by MAC Cosmetics
Lost and Found Eyeshadow Palette by Colourpop Cosmetics

5. Kat’s Bold Lipstick

Kat underwent a personal renaissance, and her tremendous growth is best displayed through her striking lipsticks. Over the course of the first season, Kat embarks on a makeup transformation that has since been marked by sultry lips and stand-out colors for major pout and pop factor. With each new boy endeavor, her lips become more pronounced to accentuate her new identity. I am a BIG lipstick girl, so I found myself drawn to and inspired by Kat’s work, often finding myself buying lip shades she would typically wear in episodes. The only thing I would add to this particular look is a stellar-performing lip gloss. Lip gloss would definitely help to nourish and hydrate dry lips from the matte sticks. If you’re inspired by Kat and want to recreate her lips, here’s what I recommend purchasing:

Lipsticks:
Vinylic Lip in Siren Red by Glossier
Cremesheen Lipstick in Dozen Carnations by Mac Cosmetics
Satin Big & Sexy Bold Gel Lipstick in Sultry Mauve by Buxom

Velvet Matte Lipstick Pencil Duo in Cruella/ Dolce Vita – scarlet red/ dusty rose by NARS
Lip Glosses:
