Wyatte Grantham-Philips editorSeason 2’s makeup on “Euphoria” is “Season 1’s introverted sister,” explains the show’s lead makeup designer Doniella Davy.As “Euphoria” fans everywhere gather to watch the latest chapters of Sam Levinson’s gripping fever dream on HBO Max (leading up to the Season 2 finale on Sunday), they are mesmerized by the both glam and gritty special effects seen in the world of East Highland.

While Season 1 featured faces adorned with endless rhinestones, glitter and more, Davy notes that Season 2 stepped into a quieter (but equally-stunning) approach.“I didn’t want to continue with the exact same MO as Season 1.

Part of me wanted to, because people were loving that, but… broadly across this show, there were stylistic, aesthetic changes and shifts,” Davy told Variety. “I think the main point, in a one-liner, of Season 2 makeup is to showcase that… a bold makeup look doesn’t have to be a huge look.

You can do smaller details, and create something bold and something expressive without seeing it from a mile away.” As all of “Euphoria’s” characters evolve throughout the series, Davy stresses that the makeup department tries “not be too prescriptive” in terms of constructing signature styles for each individual.
