Coachella 2019: Celebrity-Inspired Hair and Makeup Ideas for Festival Season

Alert! Coachella is finally upon Us, which means stars will soon be descending on the Palm Springs desert in their best denim cutoffs, flower crowns and unicorn makeup. While Beyoncé is not scheduled to perform at the 2019 edition of the annual music festival after slaying in 2018, Ariana Grande is taking the reins as headliner, and she will be joined by Ella Mai, H.E.R. and Kacey Musgraves to name a few. With no tears left to cry, we’re gearing up for the multi-weekend event (which begins April 12!) by rounding up some of the best festival season-worthy celeb-inspired beauty looks. When it comes to makeup, it all about having fun with color and texture. From glittery lashes to sun-kissed skin, nothing is off limits. Take, for instance, Paris Jackson’s cool-girl smokey eye at the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Makeup artist Jo Baker called the sultry look “sooty smolder” on Instagram and shared that she used black and rust shades to warm up her peepers, while a nude lip and #flawless skin completed the look. On the hair front, braids are always the name of the game at music festivals, and we’re sure we’ll be seeing plenty of intricate plaits (Dutch, French, fishtail ... you name it!) at Coachella. Flower crowns are a desert essential, too, and Lily Collins provided plenty of inspo with her floral comb at the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party that celeb hairstylist Mara Roszak made out of fresh blooms. Undone ponytails (a la Judy Greer at the Golden Globes), shaggy lobs (think: Sarah Hyland’s new haircut) and groovy waves (i.e. Zendaya’s disco bends) will also hopefully abound. From Vanessa Hudgens’ amethyst eyes to Amandla Stenberg’s colorful braids, keep scrolling for all the best celebrity hair and makeup inspiration for Coachella 2019!

Sasha Lane’s Midnight Blue Wing

Forget basic black, the Hellboy actress made the case for a denim-inspired hue at the film’s premiere on Tuesday, April 9. Her makeup artist Vincent Oquendo used a combo of the Shiseido Kajal Inkartist in Gunjo Blue and Nippon Noir to line the eye, while the Microliner Ink in Navy further defined the wing.

Emma Stone’s Sunset Smokey Eye

We’ve seen sunset hair (hi, Paris Jackson), but now it’s all about the sunset makeup. At the 2019 Oscars, Rachel Goodwin dreamed up a coppery cat eye by blending the Sisley Phyto-Eye Twist in Copper and Topaze on the lid, crease and lower lash line. The Phyto-Khol Star Waterproof Eyeliner in Sparkly Brown created the smokey, wing-like effect, and a swipe of the Phyto Ombre-Glow Luminous Eyeshadow in Amber further amplified the bronzey hue.

Camilla Belle’s Mermaid Eyes

We’re calling it: mermaid makeup is the new unicorn makeup, and artist Hung Vanngo created the actress' aquatic look at the Golden Globes with Chanel beauty. He used the teal and green shades in brand’s Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow in 306 Splendeur et Audace all over the lid and added definition with the Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner in 938 Mare-Chiaro (a shimmering mint) and 88 Noir Intense (a jet black). The Inimitable Intense Mascara in 10 Noir completed the under-the-sea effect.

Lupita Nyong’o’s Electric Blue Lashes

A combination of the Lancome Drama Liqui-Pencil eyeliner in Cote d’Azur and Lashify Prismatic Gossamer falsies in Royal Blue on outer corners proved to be the perfect pair for the Us star at the 2019 Golden Globes. Her go-to makeup artist Nick Barose called the look “a lil bit ‘80s fun,” and we couldn't agree more.

Sarah Hyland’s Shaggy Lob

The Modern Family star debuted a choppy new ‘do on March 22 that her mane woman Nikki Lee described as “shagged auburn.” “Sarah’s embracing her natural texture and length,” Lee tells Us. “This look is perfect for festival season and looks best on naturally curly or wavy hair.”

Lucy Boynton’s Glittery Twiggy Lashes

David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust was the inspiration behind the Bohemian Rhapsody actress’ sparkly lash look at the Los Angeles Online Film Critics Society Awards.

Sofia Boutella’s Fierce Fishtail

The keys to the perfect music festival updo? Platinum blonde color, choppy bangs and a surprise fishtail, as mane man Adir Abergel proved with the edgy look he created for the actress at a screening in L.A. in February.

Vanessa Hudgens’ Plum Peepers

Nicole Kidman’s Half-Up ‘Do

For a boho-chic take on the classic half-up, half-down style, hairstylist Kylee Heath left a few face-framing tendrils out of the actress’ 2019 Critics’ Choice Awards ‘do. On Instagram, the pro shared that she used Harry Josh Pro Tools to create the loose waves and finished things off with Oribe styling products (you can’t go wrong with the Dry Texturizing Spray).
