This “Euphoria” look was too good to stay on the cutting room floor.
Doni Davey, lead makeup artist for the HBO drama, gave fans a look at Kathy Howard, which wasn’t shown on Monday.
The two-time Emmy winner is celebrating her fourth nomination for her makeup work on the series, this time by sharing her look from the season 3 episode “Kitty Loves to Dance.”
“I cried a lot of tears not seeing this Cassie on screen,” she captioned the video, calling the glittery glamor her “favorite” of the season.
The scene called for icy milky eyelids, razor-sharp wings, black liner lined perfectly along Sidney Sweeney’s upper and lower lash lines, and clear crystals encrusted around the eyes.
Davey completed her design with shimmering skin and a matte lip traced with brownish-nude liner.
Sweeney, 28, modeled the make-up in a rhinestoned mesh halter-neck catsuit with bronze sequin paste, accessorized with chandelier earrings and wore her hair in big curls. The actress ended the clip with a wink.
Commenters mourned the loss of Sheen. “This has to be one of the best looks of the season. So beautiful,” one person wrote.
Another follower credited the show with inspiring a new technique, saying: “I started doing tight lining this season.”
Davey couldn’t resist replying. “It’s so well lined!!” she wrote, teasing that her brand Half Magic will be releasing a waterline pencil aimed at staying power.
The flashy glam suit that Cassie landed in the show’s adult finale. Davey told Allure that the character’s make-up in Season 3 was “very performative,” calling it “kind of desperate and unapologetic” and designed to get attention.
She’s been documenting Cassie’s entire journey this season on social media, detailing the inspiration and techniques behind everything from her wedding party look to her “dreamy vulgar” transformation in episode four.
The scrapped scene won’t win any trophies, but it did provide a close-up of Kathy’s appearance, which Davie loved most anyway.
