![]() ![]() Davy sprayed some of the shades with water to help amp up the pigment. The red and orange came from a ColourPop palette. ![]() For the latter - which Davy calls her “favorite Jules look” - Davy coated Schafer’s eyes in Suva Beauty’s neon green Hydra Liner, which is activated with a brush dipped in water, then used a Viseart palette for the bright pink shade. For the former, Davy used the Kryolan Neon palette, which she says “functions like watercolors,” plus liquid liner from NYX to draw the starbursts freehand. They’re very much about her having the confidence and freedom to express herself.”Īppropriately, I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to recreate Jules’s roller-skating starbursts or her tie-dye-neon eyeshadow explosion from episode 2, so I combined them without any sort of permission whatsoever from Davy. “She has the confidence to be bold and brave and to just do whatever she feels like doing - whatever her mood is or whatever her outfit is, her makeup looks are never supposed to feel too planned out. “Jules’s looks are not supposed to be overthought,” says Davy. Davy created what she calls a “galaxy effect” by covering Schafer’s face in shimmer foundation, followed by several types of loose glitter for Rue’s tears, she mixed water and “a lot of gold glitter” and let the mixture slowly run down Zendaya’s face. Davy calls the scene “the most inspiring to shoot”: Jules’s face is coated in gold glitter (see above), while Rue cries languid, silvery glitter tears. In an early, deeply trippy scene, Rue and Jules pop pills and stare at each other, awestruck, inside a blanket fort. Rue’s a tomboy and a drug addict, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t express herself through makeup.” I want to present makeup in nuanced, interesting ways, and I wanted to not have each character just be an archetype or a stereotype. “But then I realized, in thinking that, I was doing the opposite of what I want to do for the show. “Rue is a drug addict, and my early thought with her was, ‘Wait, is she really wearing makeup? Would Rue really do that? Does she even know how to put on smudgy black eyeliner and shadow, and draw gold triangles? Would she even care to do that?’” says Davy. Keeping track of all of that was the ultimate brain scramble.” ![]() We shot multiple episodes at once, all out of order, never chronologically. “It was a lot of pressure, staying creatively inspired. There were conversations about every single look.”ĭavy says the biggest challenge was creating an entirely fresh makeup look for every single outfit change. “I’d be like, ‘Text me with ideas anytime - the weekend, the middle of the night.’ I wanted them to feel like the decisions being made were authentic and had reasoning behind them. “It was really important to me that the actors were involved in this, because they’re so invested in these characters - and it’s their faces,” she says. ![]() Maddy (Alexa Demi), head cheerleader and long-suffering girlfriend of the local closeted jock (Jacob Elordi), attaches gigantic crystals to her eyelids before heading to school.ĭavy tells me that Euphoria’s writer-director, Sam Levinson, is “obsessed with makeup,” and has watched so many makeup tutorials on YouTube that he “knows the terminology and the makeup lingo.” When he hired Davy, he made it clear that he wanted makeup to be “used in an emotionally evocative, expressive way, to help show the journey of the teens on the show,” she says.ĭavy found much of her early inspiration by scrolling through Instagram and YouTube, creating mood boards for each of the actors, then asking for their input. In another, Rue’s best friend and love interest, Jules (played by incredible newcomer Hunter Schafer), doodles gigantic starbursts on the corners of her eyes and goes roller-skating. In one scene, Zendaya’s protagonist, Rue, paints glittery golden triangles underneath her eyes and heads to a local carnival. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I think about it eight times per day. Like the show itself, the eye makeup on Euphoria is unhinged and gorgeous. I love it! But I often have a hard time trying to figure out whether the show is meant to be a genuine reflection of the Gen Z experience, or a sort of elevated, Hunter S. The primary function of Euphoria - HBO’s new drama starring Zendaya as a drug addict with incredible skin - seems to be to make adults pause and ask, “Wait … are the teens … okay?” It’s the sort of show that begs to be described as “gritty,” painting a rather stark portrait of Gen Z as a bunch of nudes-crazed, molly-popping depressives who mount each other in pools and have public orgasms atop carousels. ![]()
