Met Gala 2022 Best Makeup: See All the Best Makeup Looks From the Night—Photos

The Met Gala 2022’s fashion is the main draw, but it’s the makeup looks that will be the main—and most accessible—takeaway. The theme of this year’s gala is gilded glamour, and the attendees did not disappoint, going for full-on period drama and romantic aesthetics. That means bright blush, bold lips, dewy skin, and plenty of highlighter. 

But not all looks are created equal, so we picked the best—and boldest—looks that we’ll be talking about for some time, and that you can easily replicate yourself. From Kaia Gerber’s shimmering shadow to Maude Apatow’s vampy lips, these are the best makeup looks from the Met Gala 2022. 

Blake Lively

The secret to Blake Lively’s red carpet glow? A brand-new Charlotte Tilbury bronzer, which launches May 19. The rest of her look, created by makeup artist Kristofer Buckle, was created with Charlotte Tilbury products that are currently available, like the Collagen Superfusion Facial Oil, Luxury Palette of Pops in Pillow Talk, and Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Medium.

Kaia Gerber 

Obviously, the emphasis here is on the hair. But Kaia’s shimmering shadow—the blend of peach and violet is so unexpected—and gorgeous full brows also deserve some major recognition. 

Normani

Absolutely here for the bold eyes, bold blush combo.
