A Few Incredibly Striking Celeb Beauty Looks That I'm Desperate to Try
There’s no shortage of beauty inspiration these days; whether it’s "model cheekbones” or "siren eyes,” a new TikTok trend seems to pop up daily. In other words, the swell of new looks to try can also be overwhelming. If you’re anything like me, sometimes it can be nice to head back to the relatively peaceful waters of Instagram and gather some inspiration from the original influencers, aka celebrities.
I have an Instagram folder called "must-try beauty looks” (feel free to steal this idea), in which I have hundreds of posts saved from celebs and their trusty glam squads. I’m feeling generous, so in honor of the holidays, I’m sharing some of the very best (in my humble opinion) thanks to icons such as Vanessa Hudgens, Hailey Bieber, Lizzo, and more. Ahead, find 15 of the best celebrity makeup looks and hairstyles to try in 2023, plus the products that will help you copy them.
Hailey Bieber's Bordeaux Lips
Hailey Bieber is usually the Queen of Glazed Donut Beauty, so when she changes up her look, it’s a moment. Her bordeaux lipstick isn’t just a surprising choice; it’s also completely gorgeous.
Joan Smalls's Bright Eyes
The supermodel just made me forget all about the smoky eye thanks to this technicolor eye makeup look.
Kate Hudson's Hair Ribbon
Winged eyeliner and a ribbon can lean retro, but Kate Hudson makes the pairing feel fresh again with blown-out hair and tons of earrings.
Sydney Sweeney's Silver Liner
The Euphoria star may be known for her onscreen eye makeup, but off-screen, it's just as dramatic. Case in point: this foil cat eye that perfectly complements her LaQuan Smith breastplate.
Lizzo's Gothic Lipstick
Black lipstick is daring, to be sure, but as Lizzo demonstrates, the look can be oh so striking.
HoYeon Jung's Sparkly Hair Accessory
The Squid Games breakout star accented her Emmys look with an eye-catching hair accessory, worn along her part.
Simone Ashley's Plum Shadow
Plum shadow is such a pretty alternative to neutrals but, as the Bridgerton star demonstrates, all the more striking.
Vanessa Hudgens's Sharp Cat Eye
Vanessa Hudgens captioned this photo, "She’s a vibe,” which is precisely how I feel about her dramatic cat eye.
Addison Rae's Sunburnt Blush
I’m team SPF all the way, but I can’t deny how cute the faux-sunkissed look is on Addison Rae.
Gemma Chan's Powder Blue Eyes
Thanks to Gemma Chan's pretty powder blue look here, I'm no longer afraid to go matchy-matchy with my eye shadow and my dress.
Eve Hewson's Half-Up Hair
Two-toned hair isn’t going anywhere, and I love how Eve Hewson highlighted her color with this sleek half-up style.
Lily Collins's Classic Red
Red lips are a forever classic, but every time Lily Collins wears them, they look totally new again.
Richa Moorjani's Turquoise Waterline
As if I didn’t love Richa Moorjani’s turquoise bottom liner enough, pairing it with loads of peachy blush is *chef’s kiss*.
Maude Apatow's Space Buns
All I want is to borrow Maude Apatow’s Loewe dress and copy her sleek space buns—is that such a big ask, universe?
Dua Lipa's Eye Glitter
Dua Lipa is a one-woman Y2K revival, and she's bringing back chunky glitter in a big way. But instead of slathering body glitter all over, why not try this fun sparkly eye?
