'Euphoria'-Inspired Makeup, Manicures, and Hair

May 2024 ยท 3 minute read

The Euphoria effect will still be going strong long after season 2 finale airs this month. On the New York Fashion Week Fall 2022 runways, designers were clearly inspired by the hit HBO show's epic makeup, hair, and manicure moments when creating the beauty looks to compliment their latest collections.

While the models walked down runways, they wouldn't look out of place in the halls of Euphoria high. The zig zag part, hot pink blush, winged liner, and baby pink stiletto nails at Christian Cowan could easily be a look worn by Maddy, while the allover glitter at Eckhaus Latta is reminiscent of Rue's glitter tears from the show's first season.

So if you've never been into the typical dark, vampy lip colors that always trend for fall, you'll dig the whimsical shimmery eyeshadow, bedazzled nails, dramatic winged eyeliner, and Y2K-inspired hairstyles that'll be everywhere this year.

Ahead, a complete rundown of all of the Euphoria-inspired beauty looks seen on the NYFW fall 2022 runways.

Glam, but edgy was the MO of KISS brand ambassador Gina Edwards, who created these over-the-top black nails with rhinestone accents for Alice + Olivia. The manicurist used KISS' Fantasy Nails in A Whole New World filed into an almond shape as the base, then added the brand's Nail Art Rhinestones to each nail.

How much glitter is too much glitter? For Eckhaus Latta, the limit does not exist. While MAC makeup artist Fara Homidi added hints of the brand's Glitter to the models' smudgy eyeliner, some wore chunky sparkles all over their faces.

Christian Siriano's hair and makeup look is what Y2K teens' dreams were made of. The makeup consisted of double sky blue and black winged eyeliner and nude lipgloss created by Sofia Tilbury using Charlotte Tilbury products. As for hair, Jon Reyman used the Dyson Corrale to straighten strands, crimped the mid-lengths, and added a bedazzled center part.
