HBO's breakout hit series Euphoria is making waves across pop culture not only for its controversial raw and intense plot, but also for its stunning beauty looks. After receiving carte blanche from series creator Sam Levinson, Doniella Davy, the show's lead makeup artist who has prior experience working on Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk, and Under the Silver Lake, crafted a host of compelling looks. Each character has a unique identity and aesthetic, but her work blends beautifully together for a cohesive portfolio as a whole. Davy often makes evocative references through her work, ranging from Instagram inspiration to the cult classic looks of the '90s. The maximalist, artistic creations truly show how a visual element like makeup can enhance the complexities of a plot, and Davy's work so far has us excited to see what's in store for season two. Below, check out ten glamorous highlights from the hit show.
