Over the weekend, NYC hosted Beautycon Festival, one of the world’s largest beauty celebrations where content creators, celebrities, brands, and fans come together to celebrate the beauty of self-expression and being true to yourself. The 2-day festival was chock-full of empowering panels, Instagram-friendly brand activations, freebies (including the lipstick I’m wearing right now), and beauty inspiration galore. Trust, there was no shortage of meticulous manes and magnificent makeup. JIC you missed these magical moments, here are all of the looks that left us mesmerized.
Cardi B
If you’re begging to know where the Please Me rapper got this chic oversized hat, that makes two of us. It makes the perfect accessory for sleek strands.
Hennerssy Carolina
We know Hennessy is from the Bronx, but her ethereal makeup and whimsical attire look as if she came out of a dream.
Regina Hall
The Little actress looked pretty in pink.
Yara Shahidi
The Grownish actress’s bangs were the perfect frame for her monochrome eyeshadow.
Issa Rae
We’re bookmarking this cool eyeliner look seen on Issa Rae for festival season. The green hue paired perfectly with the actress’s chestnut colored hair.
Marsai Martin
The Little actress coordinated her negative space eyeshadow with her neon green ensemble, and it was magical.
Tokyo Stylez
Hairstylist extraordinaire, Tokyo Stylez channeled golden girl vibes on the pink carpet.
Raisia Flowers
File this under cool girl haircuts. The celebrity makeup artist’s bowl cut conjured up ‘90s nostalgia, and now we want to chop our strands too.
Elaine Welteroth
The Project Runway star knows a thing or two about winning combinations, so it was no surprise when she arrived on the pink carpet rocking a bold red lip and fresh skin—the ultimate dynamic duo.
Kheris Rogers
Her beautiful complexion wasn’t the only thing Kehris was flexin’. She also flexed in these adorable afro puff ponytails. To get the look, divide your hair into two ponytails and section them off into four sections with rubber bands. For volume, tease each section out with your fingers.
Lala Milan
The Boomerang actress brought unicorn hair back and we hope it’s here to stay.
Tiff McFierce
DJ, Tiff McFierce, looked fierce in her blinged out durag and glittery green eyeshadow.
Alicia Quarles
The TV host, Alicia Quarels, rocked the pink carpet in a pretty face-framing pixie cut.
Kahlana Barfield
We can always count on the beauty maven for hair and makeup inspiration. Kahlana arrived on the pink carpet rocking a half up half down ponytail and her signature red lip.
Blair Imani
We love how powerful this pink eyeshadow looks on activist, Blair Imani.
