16 Times Beyonce Gave Us Makeup Goals

“Okay ladies, now let’s get in formation.”

1. Drunk In Love’s lived-in smokey eye

Cause nothing says “I am a sea salt tousled sex goddess” like smudged mascara.

2. Formation’s red glossy eye

No one could rock red eye gloss and cornrows like Queen Bey. If we tried to sport red eyeshadow of any kind, we’d probably look like we needed to make a doctor’s appointment.

3. Blow’s high shimmer style

Shimmery lips, shimmery eyes, basically a whole load of 80’s inspired gorgeousness.

4. Telephone’s yellow eyeshadow

Again with the unusual eyeshadow shades. Beyonce’s skin tone complements the bumblebee yellow pigment beautifully, making the makeup look just right for the poisoner role that she plays in the video.

5. Why Don’t You Love Me’s cried out mascara

We only wish we still managed to look this fierce whilst crying down the phone.

6. 7/11’s bare faced beautifulness

Do you need any more motivation to kick start a proper skincare regime? Thought not. Bey is naturally #FLAWLESS.

7. Run the World’s bleached brows

That nude lip, paired with a matte brown eye and badass bleached brows? Slay, queen – you definitely do run the world.

8. Haunted’s high impact, no shit, #girlboss look

This dramatic eye and lip look certainly isn’t for the faint hearted, and makes Beyonce look like the kind of woman you definitely wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of. Also, can we just take a moment to appreciate that nose contouring?

 9. Mine’s duo-chrome eyeshadow awesomeness

This blue/purple hybrid works as a bright contrast against the muted tones of this music video. Pairing the shadow with brushed brows and a nude lip makes for one hell of a statement. What we wouldn’t do to get our paws on that shadow for a swatch.

10. Feeling Myself’s modern take on old Hollywood

The extreme cat eye has been swapped for a subtle black eyeshadow flick, and the cliche scarlet red lip has been replaced by a gorgeous berry tone. This look is simple without scrimping on sophistication.

11. Flawless’s grunge glam

If any of us tried to rock spider lashes, we’d look like we had come out the loser in a fight with a mascara wand, but Bey? She makes it look so freaking cool. Paired with that messy bob and dark lip, we’re definitely bowing down.

12. Best Thing I Never Had’s bridal perfection

Brides to be listen up, this is how to do bridal makeup well. A true ‘less is more’ look, with defined lashes and just a bit of somethin’ somethin’ on the lips. Jay-Z is one lucky guy.

13. Blow’s neon lip

blooow

One of the most unique looks she’s ever sported, this glow in the dark lip certainly isn’t something you’d wear to visit your grandparents. However, if you’re in a neon rollerblading rink, and you’re Beyonce Knowles, there really isn’t a more suitable lip shade to sport.

14. Bootylicious’s pretty in pink look

yonceee

A combination of pink eyeshadow, pink blush and pink lipgloss makes for the sexiest ‘girl next door’ look we’ve ever seen. On a side note, that poker straight hair just screams 2001.

15. Say My Name’s golden glow

Cornrows and one hell of a lot of bronzer? You can tell we’re in the Destiny’s Child era. This golden look complements Bey’s skin tone perfectly, and that contour could kill a man.

16. Countdown’s 60’s inspired liner

The Countdown video is full of seriously stunning makeup looks, but this intricate 60’s liner is definitely the best. That cut crease, double flick and carefully traced lower lash line certainly isn’t something for the shaky handed.
