When HBO's popular teen drama Euphoria premiered last summer, it depicted the dark underbelly of suburban teen lives dominated by drugs, booze, and sex. Like Skins, but with more sexting. Now, just before two new December episodes of the series this December, Euphoria has come to represent everything 2020 wasn’t. There’s no spontaneous romance, lively nightclub scene, or reason to put a sequined crop top on.

This year’s not offering many rhinestones, but there’s never been a better time to make an eye makeup statement. Just as Euphoria’s impossibly dramatic makeup looks mirror the intensity of being a teen, ours should follow suit. 2020 is the moment where we’re all tapping into our angry adolescence and the above-mask aesthetic can communicate that.

Here's a makeup look inspired by the characters of EUPHORIA's first season

Cassie Howard is a main character in the first and second seasons of Euphoria.

”She fell in love with every guy she ever dated. Whether they were smart or stupid or sweet or cruel, it didn't matter. She didn't like to be alone.“

Maddy Perez

Madeleine "Maddy" Perez is a main character in the first and second seasons of Euphoria.

Confident, combative Maddy is Nate's on-and-off girlfriend and finds herself bearing the weight of Nate's emotions.

“I feel like my entire life, I've been trying to conquer femininity, and somewhere along the way, I feel like femininity conquered me.”

Rue Bennett is a non-binary lesbian character from Euphoria
