Good news beauty lovers! We’re creeping closer to the new year, which means awards season is upon us. And with it comes an abundance of beauty inspiration that will inevitably keep us busy, experimenting with new hair and makeup trends and techniques for months on end. The first red carpet event that has got us itching to switch up our signature look? The Emmys. Television’s night of nights was full of super pretty and wearable beauty inspiration. We’ve rounded up the best hair and makeup looks from the 2018 Emmys red carpet.

Scarlett Johansson

Instead of opting for the classic winged eyeliner look, Scarlett paired a precise flick with a halo of shimmering yellow shadow around her eyes. Her dramatic eye look was the perfect complement to her edgy, brushed-back bob.

Mandy Moore

No matter what red carpet she’s on, Mandy Moore always nails the beauty brief. There’s just something so effortlessly stunning about her combination of glowing skin, tousled waves and a creamy nude lip.

Kristen Bell

Kristen let her eye makeup do all the talking at this year’s awards show, pairing a sophisticated smoky eye with flawless skin and a slicked-back chignon.

Emilia Clarke

If you needed further proof that your brows are vital for shaping and defining your face, Emilia Clarke’s look will persuade you. Her makeup and hair were kept simple, which allowed her bold and feathered brows to steal the show.

Poppy Delevingne

Hair accessories experienced a renaissance in 2017, and Poppy has proven the trend is still going strong. We also love how fresh and natural her base makeup is, allowing her freckles to shine through.

Jessica Biel

It was all about the romance with Jessica Biel’s look this year. Her hairstylist Adir Abergel styled her hair in loose, soft waves, and her look was finished with pared-back, natural eye makeup and berry-stained lips.
