Episode four opens up with a handful of pop culture references used to depict the apparent love between Rule and Jules. The Brokeback Mountain scene absolutely needs to become a full-length remake, but it was this recreation of Frida Kahlo’s “Self Portrait as a Tehuana” that stayed with us the most. The deep hues of Kahlo’s signature thick eyebrows and bold red lip work surprisingly well of Schafer, and bounce off her skin like one of Kahlo’s own paitings.

It looks like even Jules caught the Maddy liner bug, though, of course she had to put her own, subtle spin on it.

“When I spoke to Sam [Levinson] about his vision for Sydney, he wanted a lot of her looks to feel really anxious. That was a word he used,” Davy told W in a recent interview. “That meant wet-looking, dewy skin; flushed cheeks, and pinky blush tones on the eye.”

Davy and Levinson’s vision for Cassie is never more clear than in episode four, when she truly hits rock bottom. “You see her anxiety, her sweat coming through the makeup looks,” Davy said. While Cassie tries to hard to always be sweet and pretty, sometimes, her emotions just get the better of her.

While Kat’s makeup looks were a major part of season one, this time around we have seen less of what she has to offer. Davy did make up for it, though, with the character’s look for Maddy’s birthday party. Though Kat is feeling low about her relationship, her makeup is still extremely bright and exciting, with the bold red lip and glittering blue liner. It’s clear through the way she is presenting herself that she’s not yet ready to face what is really wrong.

In a recent Instagram post, Davy expressed her love for working with Hunter Schafer because they “get to make quick and intuitive decisions together” that end up surprising her in “the best way.” This look was most likely a result of one of those decisions. There isn’t really anything scientific to it like Maddy’s makeup, which is, in contrast, always so precise. Jules’ look, on the other hand, is made up of splotches of green that play off of the hue of her pants. The result is a cool girl style that fits Schafer’s character perfectly.

This season, Jules’ makeup has been filled with abstract subtlety, and this is the second time we have seen her with this white whisker liner, though last time, it sprung from her lower lashes. Well, according to Davy, the new look doesn’t mean she’s trying to blend in, she’s just “protecting herself a little bit.” And apparently, we will see these whiskers once more this season.

Finally, little Lexie enters the makeup game. It’s clear this season is going to be a big one for Cassie’s little sis, so it’s fitting that she would take this time to start experimenting with makeup a little more. It shows she is getting more confident in herself, strong enough to rock a bold red lip to school. The subtle wing is also noteworthy considering in the world of Euphoria, Maddy is the queen of wings. It’s possible, that by trying out this look, Lexie is imitating one of the most confident people she knows in her sister’s best friend.

A good chunk of the third episode is dedicated to Cassie trying out different looks in order to impress Nate. The first few are classic Cassie—girl next door with a twist—but day three brings a little something different. The pink has a little edge to it, but the subtlety and color still makes it decidedly Cassie. It’s also interesting how the shape of the eye makeup mimics that of her look from New Year’s Eve, the first time she got together with Nate.

It’s not long until Cassie realizes the way to get Nate’s attention is…to look like Maddy. Now, Cassie is just like every other girl on TikTok, trying to recreate Maddy’s sparkling wing and perfectly placed baby hairs.

If there’s one beauty look we were waiting for this season, it’s this one and it did not disappoint. Everyone mistaking Cassie’s Nate-catching look as an Oklahoma! costume only to leave Cassie’s pale blue-dusted eyes filled with tears as she screams that she’s never been happier…iconic.

Episode three was fairly light on the Maddy content, but it did include this incredible double liner moment. In an episode when it seemed like multiple characters were trying to emulate Maddy’s look, she proved in just one scene that nothing beats the original.
