The 76th Emmy Awards has returned to its usual September slot, and everything feels right again. Awards season has officially commenced, which means our eyes will be glued to screens for the foreseeable future to witness all the wins, including all the red carpet-worthy beauty looks that will infiltrate our group chats come morning.
If the 76th Emmy Awards are any indication of what’s to come, the popular “clean makeup” trend is now rivaled by experimental, moody beauty. The dramatic shift in color palettes signals a shift in season. While soft, fresh-faced makeup will always remain a classic, the stars of the red carpet were the varying shades of fall-ready lips. They say the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice—and deep, burgundy hues proved to be worth the squeeze, thanks to looks by Laverne Cox, Ella Purnell, and more. On the softer side, stars like Selena Gomez and Anna Sawai championed the “clean makeup” look, with barely-kissed flushed cheeks and nude lips.
See what looks we’re gushing about, from updated versions of the timeless deep side parts to all those berry-hued lips.
