A basic smoky eye or red lip doesn’t cut it on the Met Gala pink carpet, especially when the theme is Camp. This year, the best makeup looks at the Met Gala 2019 took drama to the next level with glitter, lashes, cut creases, and colours of artifice. Undoubtedly, the emphasis was on the eyes. Gaga and Gigi fluttered with tinsel foil lashes; Billy Porter, Lupita Nyong’o and Pom Lekmentieff flashed sequinned, glitter lids; and Ezra Miller debuted a seven-eye optical illusion. We saw royalty with Lili Reinhart and Priyanka Chopra’s Marie Antoinette and Queen of hearts looks, while Kacey Musgraves and Hailee Steinfeld appeared doll-like. Paloma Elsesser threw back to the ‘20s with ultra-thin brows, as Laverne Cox, Lily Collins, Sophie Turner, and Violet Chachki electrified with blue and lilac lids.
