While HBO’s hit series “Euphoria” is plenty buzzworthy for its cast and storylines, the show’s craftspeople take pride in using the artistry of makeup, costume design and hair to support the specific story being told – which ultimately allows viewers to feel seen in the various characters’ looks.
“The feedback that was really life-changing from thousands of people was that they felt seen and heard and excited to use makeup to explore who they are and express who they are,” department head of makeup Donni Davy said in the latest installment of TheWrap’s How I Did It, sponsored by HBO.
“Sam Levinson had this vision for the show to be this vessel for makeup as self-expression,” Davy added, but makeup is just one of many components working together to bring these characters to life.

Animated characters typically are dreamt up to inspire us on an emotional level. Style-wise? Not so much. So when we saw the trailer for the animated feature, Home, we were seriously surprised—the scenes gave us some very real hair envy. That's right—from a cartoon. Maybe it's just the Rihanna effect. The girl breathes style into everything she does, and the film's plucky protagonist, Tip, which is voiced by the "FourFiveSeconds" singer, is no exception. As we watch Tip's natural curls bouncing on the screen, we are overcome by the need to to get that look. Now. So we called upon the expertise of E!

Whether pulled back in a tight low pony or simply kept down and slicked away from the face, ultra-sleek hair owned the Oscars. And while it may look as if such sculptural feats require a team of stylists and a Hail Mary to achieve, the effect can easily be replicated at home. To cop the razor-sharp look for yourself, celebrity hairstylist and E! Style Collective member Kim Kimble hooked us up with the Diy lowdown. As Kimble noted, the Oscars were all about pairing ornate, textured dresses with simple, sleek hair in order to keep the overall look modern and controlled. To start with the look, Kimble obliterated any opportunity of flyaways or frizz by flat-ironing the hair in one-inch sections. Next, Kimble...

Writer-director Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love & Basketball) came up with the idea after noticing that her favorite genre, hip-hop/R&B, had lost its edgy playfulness, becoming more of a dark force that, in her opinion, objectifies women. "It’s moving into an ugly, angry place," she says. Before she could comment on the genre, she had to first create her own pop star. And she did so with help from the pros, including...

Beyonce is seeking an answer to the age-old question: do blondes really have more fun? The “Love on Top” singer trades her honey-hued locks for platinum blonde in a new promo image for her The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, channeling her inner pinup with a crimson pout and a lot of leg. For her wardrobe, Queen Bey chose a curve-hugging white sweater and ultra-short, blue boy shorts and blue, heeled booties, creating an all-American feel in line with sponsor Pepsi’s red, white and blue logo. Los Angeles hair stylist Kim Kimble did Beyonce's tresses

On "L.A. Hair" (Thu., 10 p.m. Et on We) Kim Kimble's receptionist Charity found herself on the sharp end of Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth's temper.
Charity failed to recognize the reality television star when she arrived for her her appointment with Kim and asked Omarosa, "Uh, what's your name?"
"Oh b*tch, you know my name," retorted Omarosa. "Google me or something. Tell her I'm here."
As she waited, Omarosa piled it on some more: "You should really be fired if you don’t know who's on her calendar."
In fact, Kim did fire Charity, only to wonder later on Twitter if maybe she should bring her back as a hostess.

On the Series Premiere of "La Hair" (Thu., 10 p.m. Et on We) celebrity hair stylist Kim Kimble took on the challenge of transforming nervous client Amy from frowzy to fabulous.
"I see 'cute' in your future," Kim told her. After testing Amy's severely over-processed hair, Kim decided it was healthy enough to take some extensions and color.
As Amy gasped at her new flowing blonde locks, Kim said "I knew that if I could fix her hair, this would help to change her life and help bring back that confidence she needs."

We always want what we can’t have! But Can brunettes go blonde without looking like a freak? Totally! Read on to see how it’s done.
Blondes can always go darker, but it’s so difficult for dark-haired girls to lighten up! We wish we can all look great with blonde hair, but unfortunately it’s not for everyone — or is it?
Emma Stone, 22, maybe a natural blonde, but she’s gone even lighter, rocking platinum locks this year — and we absolutely love it! But how difficult is it to maintain the ‘do if you’re not a true blonde?
Author of Fast Beauty: 1000 Fixes, Rona Berg, thinks anyone can go blonde — but she said it takes a lot of maintenance. “You’ll need to touch it up every two to six weeks, which can be damaging to the hair. Extreme color and the harsh chemicals needed to achieve...

Robert Townsend's "B.A.P.S". is a purported comedy about two best girlfriends from Decatur, Ga., who follow their dreams and end up heading for the twinkling Hills of Beverly.
While some may find the term, "B.A.P". -- an acronym for Black American Princess -- offensive, that's nothing compared with the film itself.
Awkwardly written (by co-star Troy Beyer) and directed (by Townsend), this unfunny production has all the substance and half the laughs of a five-minute sketch.
Halle Berry, determined to shake up her glamorous image, and newcomer Natalie Desselle play the title characters, Nisi and Mickey, respectively. Armed with extreme hair, milelong press-on nails and gold-capped teeth, these "Homegirls in Outer Space" cash in their life savings for two plane tickets to Los Angeles, where there's a talent search for a new Heavy D video that pays $10,000 to the winner.
Hoping to use that money to open the world's first soul-food restaurant/hair salon, Nisi and Mickey instead find themselves in a swank Beverly Hills manse as guests of the nephew (Jonathan Fried) of the kindly but terminally ill Mr. Blakemore (Martin Landau). Nisi is hired to pose as the granddaughter of the forbidden, long-lost love of the elder Blakemore's life -- Lily the housekeeper.
Of course, not everything is what it seems to be, but by the time the girls realize they were pawns in a sinister scheme to take control of the Blakemore fortune, they have become better, spiritually enriched human beings.
Missing comic opportunities by the barrelful, "B.A.P.S". actually generates a few snickers. Unfortunately, that happens once Townsend and Beyer have abruptly switched gears at the halfway mark, turning the picture into an unbelievably maudlin heap of mush. The resulting giggles are purely unintentional.
Berry is willing enough to go there, but her comic chops remain untested by the lame material. The usually effective Landau also appears out of sorts. Only Ian Richardson manages to mine the most from his role as Manley, the sullen butler. Those unfortunate enough to agree to cameos include Dennis Rodman, LL Cool J, Downtown Julie Brown and Heavy D.
On the other side of the camera, those who truly deliver are costume designer Ruth Carter ("Malcolm X") and hair consultant Kimberly Kimble, whose wild assortment of fashion fiascoes and hair-don'ts (Kimble's award-winning helicopter 'do is particularly impressive) are responsible for generating the few laughs to be found.
