VMAs, Met Gala, and now the Emmys? September 2021 has been blessed with the best fashion and beauty moments to last us for the rest of the year. Last night, Hollywood witnessed another star-studded gala with headlining makeup moments that had us drooling all over the pap snaps. While the Emmy awards will keep you updated on the highest scorers from the movie front, we are here for a red carpet beauty round-up.
Our Favourite Red Carpet Makeup Moments
Living The Cat Eye Life
Our favourite TV show actor, Yara Shahidi made it to the top of our makeup scoreboard with her perfect cat eyeliner, long eyelashes, and green eyeshadow. With a deep red shade of blush and glossy lips, this makeup look looks neat and formal, while the colour green adds a splash of fun.
Achieve this look with:
Purple Haze For Days
We have been completely taken by purple makeup moments all month, and this makeup look on Issa Rae makes a smooth entry to the list. Paired with a dewy makeup base, slight contour, lined lips with gloss, and a dreamy purple eye makeup look, this is hand down one of our favourites.
Achieve this look with:
Classic Red, Done Right
As if Anya Taylor Joy had not stolen enough hearts with her role in Queens Gambit! A queen move for real, she showed up on the red carpet looking like royalty. With a classy hair updo, light auburn brows, nude makeup look, and a bold red lip moment, Anna knew she was the main character of the night.
Achieve this look with:
The Perfect Smokey Eye
Mindy Kaling sported a classic smokey eye for this red carpet event, and we are totally in love. Her makeup look is a combination of an elegant formal look and a splash of drama with those huge fluttery lashes.
Achieve this look with:
A Fearless Wing
We were dying to see an Insta-approved makeup trend on the red carpet. Michaela Cole delivered, and how. Her makeup look stands tall with a neon and black dual graphic liner alone, and none of us are mad about it.
Achieve this look with:
Retro Hollywood FTW
If you’ve been looking for the perfect Hollywood retro makeup look, this is most definitely the one. A complete look with a wavy short bob styled in a side part, this Olsen sibling has a brown smokey eye, deep peachy blush, and a brick nude lip. The orange-brick nude theme of this makeup look rightly matches her hair colour, and gives her eye colour a defined pop.
Achieve this look with:
The Headlining Sleek Moment
Everybody’s favourite Grey Anatomy star, Ellen Pompeo was spotted with a sleek ponytail moment (Ari, are you listening? Looks like you’ve got competition). The most interesting part? She paired her sleek hair and black outfit with a mismatched eyeshadow look. She has one pink, and one blue eyeshadow, which are the highlights of the otherwise nude makeup look. Another Insta-approved makeup trend? We love to see it.
