The Best Beauty Looks From Coachella 2018

This year, Coachella 2018 (or Beychella, depending on who you ask) was offered a backdrop of playful pigments, light-catching sparkle, and braided texture by way of the festival s most memorable beauty looks, which transformed the arid desert landscape into a vivid display of whimsy.

Navy blue was an unexpected favorite, the inky hue coloring Rihanna s flippy coiffure—and playing off a pressing of cornflower blue eye shadow. A lightened-up, denim-inspired iteration infused Kylie Jenner s signature menu of power brows and bronzer, her nude, lined lip adding an extra bit of cool mom irreverence. For Simi Khadra, a mussed chop edged in fluorescent yellow served as a jumping off point to a matching manicure, while Elsa Hosk s rose gold lengths were matched to petal-dusted lids.

Joan Smalls turned heads during Weekend One with a mane of burgundy-tinged box braids, augmented by a contrasted swipe of aquamarine at eye level. As for Weekend Two, Gabrielle Union s beaded braids doubled as an homage to Queen Bey. And though flower crowns were nowhere to be seen, Taylor Hill made it her mission to maintain the festival s long-loved unicorn lean with a face full of iridescent jewels—best worn with a slapdash topknot. Here, nine of the best beauty looks from Coachella.
