Alicia Vikander
Vikander chose to leave her cat-eyes open instead of filling them in for this silhouette beat from May.
Amber Heard
Heard altered the classic black-eyeliner-and-red-lip look when she added small diamonds under her eyes in May.
Andra Day
Who says you can't match your clothes to your makeup? Day pulls off purple eye shadow and a red lip in January.
Ashley Graham
We're all about the smoky eye taking on different colors like Graham did with green back in March.
Cynthia Erivo
Though technically not makeup, Erivo's bejeweled eyebrows from May couldn't be left off the list.
Emily Ratajkowski
In January, Ratajkowski nailed this red eye shadow look, and we love that it's mainly only one pigment.
Hailey Baldwin
Baldwin stepped out in February with this powerful almost-black lip.
Joan Smalls
A simple face paired with the neon blue eyeliner is a major mood from Smalls' May look.
Issa Rae
The pink shadow is killer on Rae's skin, but it's the inner-eye eyeliner that has us cheering on this look from January.
Jasmine Sanders
Sanders's gray eyes were piercing in June with this electric blue surrounding them.
Kristen Stewart
Stewart shows how to rock a bold lip and eyes in this green eye shadow paired with coral lips from May.
Katherine Langford
The actor showstopped with a daring blue eyeliner in April.
Lady Gaga
Gaga let her eyes do the talking with dark colors paired with glitter in January.
Leomie Anderson
In May, Anderson went blue for this dramatic cat-eye.
Lily Collins
Aside from the red teardrop, Collins' silver glitter makeup from May has us swooning.
Madeline Brewer
A mix of pastel and neon green graced Brewer's eyelids in April.
Martha Hunt
Hunt proved the saying, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend," true in June.
Morena Baccarin
We're loving the bold green color against Baccarin's brown eyes from this May look.
Rihanna
It's hard to go all one color, but the singer committed to the eggplant theme in this June beat.
Ruth Negga
A gold eye shadow may seem commonplace, but we can't get past how Negga used it only on the inner half of her eye in May.
Scarlett Johansson
This bold eye look was made even bolder when Johansson chose purple and pink pigments in April.
Tessa Thompson
In May, Thompson went all white everything with a bold under-eye white liner.
Frances McDormand
In March, McDormand showed us all no makeup is just as good as any glam.
Saoirse Ronan
Sometimes, a bold lip can look shocking on an otherwise clean face; however, Ronan pulled it off in January.
Tracee Ellis Ross
Usually, people opt for thick eyeliner on top or bottom, but Ellis Ross went with both in this daring look from January.
Amandla Stenberg
In June, a quick swipe of vibrant yellow across Stenberg’s eyelid was enough to make us run out and get a yellow pencil.
Janelle Monáe
We’re all about Monáe’s metallic green under-eye eyeliner with a subdued face from January.
