BARBIE FERREIRA: I've always
 experimented with makeup.
My makeup mirrors
how I'm feeling,
and it's always rooted
in a lot of creativity.
So for me, my makeup journey
 has started probably
 when I was like nine.
I was not that girl expressing
herself through makeup
in like middle school
and high school.
 So, it's been
 amazingly cathartic
to live vicariously
through the Euphoria characters
 and get to, like, design
 all these unrequited looks
that not many TV shows
and films call for.
A big challenge for me
was so many female characters
that wear makeup.
 The makeup was so important
 for every single character.
I think there's elements
of 1960s, 70s, 80s,
obviously 90s
in all the girls' makeups.
 To me, like Maddie's makeup
 is total, like, 1960s
 and 1990s kind of combination.
 Barbie, I definitely see
 some, like, 70s and 80s.
 Especially
 with the Halloween look
is like so 80s and then there's,
 like, grungy,
 almost like 70s glam rock.
I don't know
about everyone else,
but I miss the old Kat.
What's important about Kat
is that she has
such a big transformation.
 How we had to do it
 in, like, steps.
 It wasn't just like, you know,
overnight, Kat is, like,
this makeup goddess.
For the first three episodes,
Kat doesn't really wear
any makeup.
Yeah. Yeah, we need make up
for some lost time
during
those first three episodes.
-(CHUCKLES)
-Yeah, the first three episodes,
my little eyeliner
 that just like--
 it's kind of, like, low.
Your little flushy cheeks
and your lip gloss.
I'm like, (NERDY) "Hi, guys."
DONIELLA DAVY: In creating
 these looks for Kat's arc,
 realism was, like,
 of the utmost importance,
and I think the fact
that Barbie's makeup was done
by basically every member
of my core team,
 her makeup looks all felt
 a bit different
 and totally experimental.
The makeup helped me
get into character,
and there would be somedays
where I'm playing Kat
pre-transformation
 and Kat, like, episode seven.
 I went from like long hair
 with braces
 to short hair
 with, like, glasses
 to, like, the full latex look,
so it was a chaotic good
in the best way. (LAUGHS)
DAVY: It was important for me
to make sure that all the makeup
 connected with exactly
 what these characters
 are going through emotionally,
 and so I think through things
 like color and texture
 and placement and shape,
 I was able to convey
different moods. For example,
 Sam wanted early on
 for Zendaya's makeup
 to sort of be placed
 under her eyes,
 sort of like a tearful pooling
 of tears effect,
which she was really, I think,
effective on camera,
especially when we started
using glitter,
which really reflected the light
 and sort of looked like tears.
Another example is
after the carnival,
Jules and Rue are sitting
in the cafeteria,
 and Jules has a sort of like
 upsetting looking,
 like red eyeliner that
 I just thought
looked kind of, like,
eerie and irritated.
So just sort of paying attention
to how the makeup could help
with the story line was my goal.
Rue, this isn't a joke.
DAVY: And then, the fantasy
 ice skating moment for Cassie
 occurs during this really
 intense emotional buildup
 in the finale episode
 and it cuts back and forth
 between Cassie undergoing
 an abortion procedure,
 bare-faced and eyes welling up
 with tears,
and then it cuts to this,
like, fantastical moment
of her in this sort of like
childhood fantasy,
 ice skating and with a face
 covered with gems.
The reason to go all out
with the gems in that moment
is I wanted that look
to contrast so highly
with what her current reality
was to sort of signify
the dreams of, like,
adulthood and teenagerhood
we have when we're little.
 And then,
 the often harsh reality
 that we are served.
Just walk in...
and hold your head up high,
baby.
DAVY:
 It's important to me to know
what all the cast members think
 for their characters.
 You know, they know
 their characters the most,
so I really am interested to see
what they think.
That's what was so amazing
was that we could just, like,
talk about makeup
and I love talking about makeup.
 I also love to make
 a vision board
and save a lot of pictures.
I remember the finale look,
I was, like, seeking the perfect
eyeliner shape for my eye.
I'm glad you brought up
the winter formal look,
that's the perfect example.
I remember you brought in
a photo
of that very feline eyeliner
that, like, starts in here
and goes like that.
So we added the pop of neon,
 which was directly connected
 to the lighting on the show.
 So it was a way to give a l--
 a little bit something extra
 and make it pop and be
 a little more visible.
You think this makes me
look stupid?
No. Not in the least.
FERREIRA: I think my favorite
 is either the finale look
 or the Halloween look.
 I think the Halloween look
 was so amazing,
and I think it's, like,
so iconic just, like,
didn't follow any makeup rules
whatsoever.
It was, even for like, you know,
 a sexy Halloween costume,
it was just like black eyeliner
 on the lip, and then red.
And I think that was so Kat, and
just so of what she was feeling.
I know how-- how hard it was
to do it every single day
for a month,
so... (CHUCKLES)
so worth it.
The lip liner staying on.
Oh my god, especially
for the makeout scenes.
-(LAUGHS)
-DAVY: I was like, I know
 this is gonna screw me
 and I'm gonna regret doing
 the black lip liner
'cause I know Kat has
a kissing scene,
but I'm, like,
I have to do it anyway.
It's gonna look so cool.
Yeah, then Ethan has, like,
a little, like, gray...
Yeah. I was like, this is gonna
be a nightmare,
but like we're doing it.
And glittery upside down crosses
just slapped into my mind
immediately and it might be
my favorite look
in the whole season as well.
-Wow, you look fucking cool.
-Wow.
KAT HERNANDEZ:
It's like whatever.
I can't wait for next season.
It's gonna be very fun.
I have a ton of ideas. (LAUGHS)
Well, I remember.
We were already talking
about some stuff and we shared
a photo album
and you had amazing ideas,
which were like
weirdly a bit similar to ideas
that I had.
FERREIRA: Season two, we can
 explore even more of, like,
Kat's life
and what's her next evolution.
DAVY:
I think your makeup next season
is definitely gonna have
the same sensibility
as Jules
with regard to, like,
complete non-conformity.
You look beautiful.
FERREIRA: I'm still blown away
 at the reaction.
There is something so real
about Euphoria,
 and even with
 the fantasy makeup,
 it, like, speaks to people
and especially, like, teenagers
 and young people.
 When I first read the script,
I was like this is gonna change
 the game.
I'm mostly just excited to keep
on being a part of a show
 that is telling a real story
 of our young generation
and for people to watch it
and feel represented.
