Gemma Chan’s look at the Crazy Rich Asian premiere was a masterclass in elegance and restraint, with accentuated cheekbones, petal-pink lips, glowy lids and plenty of mascara

Katherine Langford puts stars in our eyes with her dreamy and ethereal makeup — think washes of purple and pink and pretty embellishments

Rowan Blanchard’s jewel-toned mermaid makeup is proof that blue-to-purple shadow with berry-red lips isn’t as tacky as it sounds

Rihanna celebrated Fenty Beauty’s first year anniversary with sultry eyeshadow, pink lips and sparkles on the brow bone. The décolletage wasn’t spared either

Gaga’s makeup artist Sarah Tanno expertly wielded soft, modern flushes and lots of highlights for a look that matches her bonafide diva Valentino gown

Lily Collins channelled the swinging sixties with a daring slash of teal on her lids, replete with spidery lashes and a neutral brown lip

Does Emily Ratajkowski ever have a bad face day? The copper-gold monochromatic look flatters her skin tone, and her duo-toned pout totally slays

Actress and singer Teyana Taylor evoked some very Grace Jones vibes with her blunt pixie cut, sculpted brows and glossy scarlet lips
