The 10 Best Emmys 2022 Makeup Looks

Before the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony officially kicked off on Monday, Sept. 12, the celebs strutted the red carpet. Obvi, beauty buffs (and Bustle editors) had their eye on the beats — here, a recap of the best 2022 Emmys makeup looks from the big evening.

Elle Fanning’s Winged Eyeliner

The actor stunned in bold and retro-style winged eyeliner look, which she paired with a romantic flush and natural pink pout.

Laverne Cox’s Glam Smoky Eye

The actor and E! red carpet host brought the beauty drama to the 2022 Emmys with her sculpted cheekbones, lined lips, and shimmery smoky eye with hints of green and gold glitter.

Sheryl Lee Ralph’s Face Gems

The Abbott Elementary star turned up the sparkle by way of rhinestones in both her hair and her eye makeup.

Lily James’ Bronze Glam

The Pam & Tommy star brought the gilded glamour with a bronze gown and matching makeup look, complete with dark gold on her lids. Fun fact: She’s wearing Charlotte Tilbury’s new Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer.

Julia Garner’s Golden Eye Makeup

The Ozark and Inventing Anna star also rocked shimmering bronze eye makeup that was so very regal. Makeup artist Hung Vanngo used the CHANEL Les 4 Ombres Tweed Limited-Edition Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow in Tweed Cuivré for the look.

Rhea Seehorn’s Crimson Eyeshadow

To match her gorgeous gown, the Better Call Saul actor rocked a crimson-colored monochromatic glam that seriously stunned.

Issa Rae’s Winged Eyeliner

The multi-hyphenate creator of HBO’s Rap Sh!t showcased her signature — and always flawlessly done — winged eyeliner and soft glam at the 74th Primetime Emmys. Makeup artist Joanna Simkin did Rae’s entire look using e.l.f. products, including the just-launched C- Bright Putty Primer along with the Bite-Size Eyeshadows, SRSLY Satin Lipstick, and TikTok-famous Halo Glow Liquid Filter.

Alexandra Daddario’s Matte Red Lip

Few looks are as classic as a matte red lip, and this one on The White Lotus star is pretty much textbook.

Sydney Sweeney’s Cat Eye

The Euphoria actor debuted a subtly sweet cat eye on the 2022 Emmys red carpet. Armani Beauty’s Eye Tint Liquid Eyeshadows in shades 23 and 24 were used by Melissa Hernandez for Sweeney’s gilded glam.

Rachel Brosnahan’s Purple Eyeliner

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star strutted the carpet in an otherwise soft and classic makeup look — save for the pop of purple around her eyes, which was achieved using MAKE Beauty’s Violet Abyss Continuum Waterproof Gel Eyeliner.
