For some celebrities, the red carpet is about more than looking stunningly gorgeous — it's an opportunity to debut some serious face art. These select stars never shy away from bold hairstyles, eyeshadow colors and other accoutrements and their big risks almost always pay off. So, from noted rainbow eye makeup enthusiast Lupita Nyong'o to hair chameleon Cara Delevingne, let's take a look at some of the most daring celebrity makeup mavens — and some of their top red carpet moments.

Kristen Stewart
Is there an avant-garde makeup look Kristen Stewart hasn't taken out for a spin yet? From the brightest neons to the most dramatic, sootiest kohls, she's done it all. We're especially loving this teal/pink eye lip combo and bobby pin madness from Cannes.

Can you think of anyone — anyone — else out there who would shave their head, paint it silvery chrome and cover it in sequins for the Met Gala?
