While Sydney Sweeney certainly had her own fan base during Season 1 of "Euphoria," she's taken center stage in Season 2. Fans have loved her explosive scenes and incredible acting performances just as much as her makeup looks. Makeup artist Doniella Davy shared an inspiration binder with TikToker Kirbie Johnson, which helped give insight into her vision for Cassie. Davy — who has long been open about her makeup process — also took to Instagram to share the story behind Cassie's memorable look in the first episode of Season 2. 

"When we first see Cassie, she's already drunk and eating powdered donuts (the best) on the curb, so we loved keeping her skin dewy with super flushy cheeks and lips for this episode," Davy wrote. "We were always bringing her lip color out beyond her lips to sort of look like "make-out/cry" lips or like she had been nervously biting her lip." The caption accompanied a carousel of images of Cassie rocking rhinestone encrusted eyes, red lips, and extra-pink cheeks. However, it was the rhinestones that got everyone talking, and Davy explained how that look was core to the episode's plotline. "As the night goes on, [Cassie's] anxiety-terrified-totally-freaked-out eyes are framed by this delicate, like innocent, twinkle. She wasn't really trying to do what she did...right?? I love how Cassie's look contrasted so much with Maddy's liner."
