Since the launch of Euphoria, we have had an ongoing obsession with Alexa Demie. The makeup looks of the young American actress have taken over social media platforms, making her a source of inspiration for those who choose not to conform.
Growing up, Alexa was exposed to the beauty world by her mother who worked as a make-up artist for MAC cosmetics. Weirdly enough, years down the line, Alexa ended up being the face of the More Than Meets the Eye collection back in March 2020, when the beauty giant introduced new eye formulas through this campaign. The actress has also played a big role in the makeup looks she wore as Maddy Perez in season one of Euphoria, always doing her own signature winged liner.
While makeup is a big part of Alexa’s life and her skill and talent are what we love about her most, she has also had quite a few fashion moments we cannot ignore (both as Maddy Perez and herself). Just like with makeup, Alexa plays a lot with retro influences (mainly from the ‘90s and ‘70s) in her fashion styling. An image of this generation where flared trousers, platform shoes, and oversized suits are the new chic, she is a muse for those who want to be authentic from top to bottom, in both makeup and fashion. Below, see our favourite looks of the actress.
