Jules tends to be maybe the most experimental, showcasing her artistic talent, while Kat’s quest to find confidence and her true self is demonstrated through her makeup. Rue, for example, would splatter some fuchsia glitter around her eyes for special occasions in season one, but while relapsing and struggling with her mental health, Rue tends to go bare faced, but in a raw, less intentional sense- just as we have seen her so far in season two. With intricately executed eyeliner, cosmic swirls of neon and glitter eyeshadow, iridescent sticker decals, and eye crystals abound, the leading ladies of Euphoria display their emotions, growth, and transitions by expressing themselves through their makeup- or lack thereof.

But as beautiful and as trendy as the makeup renderings were, the thought process behind them has always been much deeper.

With beauty trends frenetically swirling after Euphoria’s season one debut, its singularly aestheticized visuals put the HBO hit series in a league of its own. Since the A24 hit’s triumphant return for season two, Euphoria’s Emmy-winning makeup department head Doniella Davy has taken to Instagram throughout this past week to explain her process and beauty tactics to aid in advancing the storyline and character development.
