10: Elle Fanning's fresh-faced beauty and cobalt liner at the Cannes Film Festival proved you could you be age-appropriate but still stunning

9: Hailee Steinfeld's wet look waves and soft neutrals may not be groundbreaking but we loved how the former child star is looking so refined and pulled together here

8: Selena Gomez has been having a stellar makeup year with her personal makeup maestro Hung Vanngo on call. Her best look? The raspberry-purple eyes at the Met Gala that seemed to wink at the Pantone shade of 2018

7: Lily Collins stepped out of her pretty-pretty shell with this 1920s inspired short bob and dramatic makeup — think pale skin and blood red lips — and we think she nailed it

6: Kristen Stewart's blonde buzz was another defining moment. We admired how the Chanel spokesperson brought her cool girl edge to all her hair and makeup looks

5: Zendaya was the princess of reinvention in 2017, but we especially dig her '60s inspired do and mint green eye makeup at the MTV Movie and Television Awards

4: Emma Stone got her little gold statue, and her strawberry red waves and cult Nars lipstick in Mona will go down in beauty history as her Oscar moment

3: Zöe Kravitz was the standout beauty of 2017 and here at the Big Little Lies premiere her blonde braids, freckled skin and imaginative eyeliner make for a spot-on beauty moment

2: Bella Hadid looked drop dead beautiful in all her red carpet appearances, but with the icy white eye makeup touches and flawless highlighting displayed here, she reached next level ethereal status at the Cannes Film Festival

1: Rihanna was the queen of makeup in 2017, with her Fenty Beauty by Rihanna line causing a mini beauty revolution. This play on purple-red at the Met Gala 2017 was her crowning moment and a look only RiRi could pull off
