With the long-awaited return of HBO's Euphoria, we're reminded of the chokehold the bold makeup looks had on us during previous seasons.

And luckily for makeup lovers, recreating those looks is now easier than ever, thanks to Emmy Award-winning make-up artist, Donni Davy, who worked on the show creating founding Half Magic Beauty.

Focused on creative, daring looks, Half Magic Beauty offers something for everybody, whether you're looking for pressed glitter, subtle shimmers and more.

Half Magic Beauty Glitterpuck - Pressed Glitter £29.50

For those who want to really dazzle, this pressed glitter is not one to miss.

With the glide of a gel, and eight hours of wear, as well as being fall-out and crease-proof, this is ideal for applying to eyes, face and even your body.

Available in four etheral colours, you can create a range of looks, by wearing on it's own or layering on top of eyeshadow or paint.

Half Magic Beauty Magic Drip - Glitter Lip Gloss £24

Sometimes you want the lips to be the focus, and with the Magic Drip Glitter Lip Gloss, they're sure stand out.

With a rich, nourishing texture, this lip gloss is filled with multicoloured pearls providing depth, and the sheer coverage makes it easy to layer on top of lipstick or lip liner.

Available in 10 stunning colours, ranging from bright pinks, to browns to iridescent purple, your lips will look like they were made to sparkle.

Half Magic Beauty Eyeshadow Singles - One Swipe Colour £14

Available in 13 shades in four finishes - duochrome, metallic, shimmer and matte - you can create endless looks with these eyeshadow singles.

Super pigmented, creamy and blendable, you only need one-swipe of this eyeshadow to get all the product you need.

The shadow singles are help in a compostable PaperFoam compact, so when you're done, you can just recycle!

Half Magic Beauty Cheek Fluff - Soft Blur Cream Blush £23

The Cheek Fluff is the perfect option for a blush, regardless of whether you like a more subtle or bold flush.

The unique formula is blendable like a cream blush (allowing for mistake-proof application), but has the long-staying power of a powder blush, and with four shades, there’s something for every skin tone.

It also comes in the reyclable and compostable compact.

Personal Experience

I've always loved the makeup on Euphoria - but as someone who typically sticks to no or minimal makeup, I've always admired it from afar.

But when I saw that the artist behind some of the show's most iconic looks - I'm looking at you, Zendaya's glitter tears - had their own brand that newly launched at Sephora, I knew I had to try it.

I was super excited to try the Glitterpuck - the pressed glitter is super pigmented, and just one big swipe got enough glitter to cover my entire eyelid. Shade Glimmer Pop looks ultra-glittery (much more in real life), and the rose gold hue looks great by itself or layered over shadow.

I also tried one of the Eyeshadow Singles in shade Blushing Lizard, a pink that has a purple or blue iridescent hue - it’s quintessentially Euphoria.

The creamy pigmented formula is really buildable - you can make it a sheer shimmer by applying with a brush, but if you want a more intense glittery look, applying with your finger gives you the most impressive results.

Both the Glitterpuck and eyeshadows didn't crease, and I was thoroughly impressed with the very minimal fallout.

However, they were quite difficult to take off properly. Using both cleansing pads and balms still left me with specs of glitter all over my face and hands - even after a shower, and while it's not too noticeable, this does make it not an everyday makeup item (at least for me).

I also tried the Magic Drip lip gloss in shade Y2K Cherub - this I didn't love as much. It's quite nourishing, but the texture feels a little gritty from the glitter, which isn't a complete dealbreaker, but I'm unlikely to reach for this over any of my other lip glosses.

The Cheek Fluff, however, is a winner in my books. In shade Magic Brownie, it’s a bit darker than I’d usually pick for a blush, but the creamy formula effortlessly blends out to a warm, rosy pink that can be easily layered for a more dramatic look.

While most of these items aren't totally suitable for everyday wear, they'll undoubtedly be my go-tos for when I'm creating fun festival or concert looks this summer. I'll definitely be picking up more shades of the eyeshadow singles.

Half Magic Beauty Light Trap - Duochrome Highlighter

Designed to shift colours from every angle, this highlighter is a must-have for those who want a seriously shimmery glow.

Available in a shimmery beige and a bold purple, these look fabulous on every skin tone, and the buildable formula is ideal for both subtle and blindingly glowy looks.

Half Magic Beauty Glitterpill - Eye Paint & Eyeliner

If you're looking for a product that can double as both an eyeliner and eyeshadow, the Glitterpill is the product for you.

It's available in eight stunning shades, such as silver, purple, pink, green and more, and can be blended out for a more all-over sparkle, or used as a sharp liner, making it essential for creating unforgettable, creative looks.

Transfer and smudge-proof, and with minimal fallout, this insanely pigmented formula is perfect for all-day (or night) wear.

Half Magic Beauty Dew Lock - Hydrating Set + Refresh Makeup Setting Spray

When you're creating bold, bright looks like the ones in Euphoria, you'll likely want it to last a good while - that's why a good setting spray is essential.

Designed to leave a natural, dewy finish, this setting spray is infused with glycerin and niacinamide, ensuring your skin stays hydrated for up to 12 hours.

It can also be used to refresh your makeup look throughout the day, and is sure to revive dull-looking skin.

Half Magic Beauty Self-Adhesive Face Gems - Iridescent Sparkle

Apart from the glitter, face gems are undoubtedly involved in most of Euphoria's most iconic makeup looks.

These medical-grade, self-adhesive (and hypoallergenic) face gems have all-day staying power, and are the perfect way to enhance any party or festival look, whether your're applying to your eyes, cheeks or even brows.

You can also get these gems in metallic or classic iridescent pearls.

Half Magic Beauty Wing Magician - Reusable Silicone Stencil for Perfect Winged Lines

If you, like many, struggle to consistently achieve the perfect winged liner, why not make your life easier and opt for a stencil?

This silicone stencil is designed to fit the contours of every eye, giving you the perfect winged eyeliner every single time.

It's dishwasher safe, travel-friendly and can even double as an eyeshadow and mascara shield.
