We were like, let’s make it longer, longer! How far can we take it? Alexa was in the makeup chair, and were looking at her from different angles. I remember while filming the first episode of season two, loving the idea of making Maddy’s wing long-and then making it longer.
She seems to have taken Maddy’s winged eyeliner to the next level this season. It was a fun and very different way to approach doing makeup for TV. She really was the creator of her looks, and it was always a collaboration-sometimes Alexa would do part of her makeup, sometimes she’d do the finishing touches, sometimes she would start the liner, sometimes she would do the liner on one eye and my team and I would match on the other side. We would go through colors together, sort through shades, and shapes of her eyeliner. She was excited and inspired by Maddy this season and had these great ideas that she was really tied to. What did she show you?Īlexa, in real life, has this relationship with makeup and a love for it-her mom’s a makeup artist. You’ve mentioned working with Alexa Demie on her looks for this season-how she came into the makeup trailer with all of these ideas for her own looks that communicated her character's backstory. That always comes first, before the look. The makeup needs to visually communicate the characters’ emotional states of mind the looks give more insight into that character in that moment.
Still, the core of the makeup is the same as season one: it’s emotional glam. It was about taking all the ingredients from season one and doing something that would live parallel to it, but with a slightly different approach. It wasn’t about more glitter or more rhinestones. For me, continuing the Euphoria makeup conversation was never about going bigger and brighter. He’s experimental and trusting of his own new ideas. That’s just how Sam Levinson is-he doesn't think prescriptively. The general feeling with all the different heads of departments on Euphoria was not to repeat ourselves from season one. What were those initial conversations about the creative evolution like? Season two of Euphoria has taken a different direction when it comes to the writing, plot structure, and of course, the visuals-which includes the makeup design. My version of minimal is still pretty heightened.”īelow, Davy details behind-the-scenes beauty secrets from Euphoria, recreating Maddy’s carnival look on Cassie, and why eyebrows are of the utmost importance-both on the show and in her real life. But even when I’m trying to be super minimal, it’s not that minimal. “It’s always a surprise, how things will look-I never know for sure until I see it on TV. The makeup looks bigger than I thought,” she tells me during a Zoom interview.

“I’m seeing it on my big TV in my living room-not on a tiny monitor on set-and I’m like, that’s funny. But once she began watching the new season at home, Davy realized the looks still felt true to the show. In Davy’s world, this was a marked departure from the shining, multicolored Face Lace that once adorned Jules’s ( Hunter Schafer) eyelids.
Davy, who lives in Los Angeles with her husband and newborn baby, has described season two as season one’s “introverted sister.” She’s more likely to wear subtle shimmer, like Cassie ( Sydney Sweeney), a sharp winged eyeliner for Maddy ( Alexa Demie,) or a “broken down” (Davy’s words), no-makeup look on Zendaya, who plays Rue.

After season one-in which glittering, colorful, experimental eye makeup and bold lips became synonymous with Euphoria’s singular approach to beauty-Davy met with her team and series creator Sam Levinson to discuss taking a different tack for the much-anticipated follow-up season. Doniella Davy, the makeup director on the hit HBO Max series Euphoria, was just as surprised to see the beauty looks from the second season of the show as you likely were.
