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!
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
