It's been nearly two years since Doniella Davy, makeup designer and department head for Euphoria, created the looks we now know and love from the HBO show's first season. Since the filming schedule for the series's second season was put on hold amid the coronavirus pandemic, Davy has had a lot of time to sit and brainstorm new covetable and avant-garde styles we're severely eager to copy. With that came the creation of her very-own makeup sticker collection inspired by one of the show's protagonists, Jules (played by Hunter Schafer). But these aren't just any stickers; these stickers were made in partnership with Phyllis Cohen, Face Lace creator. Sound familiar? It should — Cohen is behind a handful of recognisable stick-on details featured in the show (check out episode eight; those spiky stickers were dangerously cool). Now, Cohen and Davy are ready to introduce our newest obsession, one we're very much ready to play with. Meet Head in the Clouds.
Head in the Clouds is a limited-edition launch inspired by Davy's hand-drawn cloud design that first appeared in Euphoria's first season when Jules gushes to Rue (played by Zendaya) about her new online love, Tyler. Of course, that was just the beginning of that plot line and that now-beloved makeup look. Since then, many people have copied the fluffy shape (a fact Davy chocks up to the look's minimalist design), but now doing so will be a whole lot easier.
Not only does the collection utilise Cohen's unique stick-on approach, but it's also available in two new finishes: an iridescent holographic and sparkling silver glitter. You can layer it, mix and match each finish, wear it with or without makeup, you get the picture; the options seem endless and will definitely make you feel like you fit right in with the Euphoria crew (we can dream, right?). To get the full scoop on the launch, we spoke with Davy about collaborating with Cohen for the first time, teasing the new design in the most recent bridge episode about Jules, and why including Trans Lifeline was a no-brainer.
On Using Face Lace in "F*ck Anyone Who's Not a Sea Blob"
The two bridge episodes of Euphoria weren't just a surprise to the fans, but to Davy, too. Up until March of last year, Davy and the rest of the crew were on track to start filming season two in early 2020. Unfortunately, that was put on hold — along with Davy's many looks prepared for Jules. For over a year, Davy and Cohen had built a relationship and were preparing to collaborate on new looks for the second season. "I was starting to gather [looks], like I have a whole drawer of all these little designs," said Davy, noting that by that time, Cohen already created a new version of Jules's cloud makeup from season one. Then, she read the script for "F*ck Anyone Who's Not a Sea Blob" and realised it would be a perfect fit for the bridge episode and the continuation of Jules's season one storyline.
In the bridge episode, there are a lot of flashbacks to the first season. You can catch a glimpse of Davy and Cohen's updated cloud design when Jules's is sitting on her kitchen counter, doing homework, and discussing her mother's recovery. Almost immediately, fans would notice the fluffy shape they first saw over a year ago, only this time it was slightly holographic.
On Creating New Looks For Euphoria Season Two
Although Davy isn't spilling any details about season two, you can assume there is a lot more to come. Davy shared in a recent Instagram video that she tries to draw as many parallels as possible between different looks for the characters, so the odds of us seeing another take on the cloud makeup are, we're guessing, very high. Even so, Davy told POPSUGAR that even if she had nailed down any full looks for the follow-up season there's a big possibility of them changing before filming officially begins.
The looks, Davy noted, depend heavily on the scripts as well as Sam Levinson, the showrunner. "Sam is super savvy about makeup," said Davy, adding that he'll even sometimes add notes into the script specifically referencing the kind of makeup the scene may call for. In addition to Levinson, Davy will share her ideas with the actors, too, which inspired her to create a brainstorming beauty binder. Yep, you heard that right. "I got this portrait made of Hunter and then I printed like a million copies," Davy explained. "I basically ended up designing 50 looks that could potentially work for season two, but they could also potentially not work." In other words, we'll just have to wait and see. Until then, we'll be rewatching the series approximately six more times while gluing makeup stickers to our eyelids as we pretend we are Jules.
