Emily Ratajkowski

We're honestly still not over this arresting forest green smoky eye Emily Ratajkowski debuted on the Emmys red carpet back in 2016. To recapture this high-impact, mesmerizing deep green makeup look, try a creamy, highly pigmented shadow, like J. Cat Beauty Pris-Metal Chrome Eye Mousse in Forest Night, $5.99.

Lily Collins

No one recreates modern versions of glamorous midcentury beauty looks quite like Lily Collins and this French New Wave-esque deployment of pastel blue eyeshadow is truly one for the books. Make Up For Ever Artist Color Eye Shadow in I-210, $17, has a similar icy blue finish if you're looking to go for the Anna Karina look yourself.

Lupita Nyong'o

Is there a color Lupita Nyong'o isn't wearing in this colorful eyeshadow look from the Met Gala? You're going to need pretty much every color of the rainbow to recreate this and the BH Cosmetics Aurora Lights - 18 Color Baked Eyeshadow Palette, $18, is a good place to start.

Who knew a solid swatch of bright yellow eyeshadow could look so simple and mod? To copy this look yourself, look for a true yellow with a matte, full-coverage finish, such as L'Oreal Infallible Paints Eyeshadow in Jet Set Blond, $4.49.
