We all have our favorite Met Gala beauty looks. But we wanted to let those who are in the room—the beauty professionals—weigh in on what makes a truly magical Met Gala beauty look. “It feels like the Olympics of hair, makeup, and styling,” says makeup artist Ash K Holm, who did Jennifer Lopez’s sexy cat eye for “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.”
Below, eleven celebrity makeup and hairstylists share their absolute favorite beauty look—while we wait to see what comes next week.

“My all-time favorite Met Gala beauty look was last year’s makeup for Jennifer Lopez. She wore a stunning, fitted gown by Ralph Lauren in light pink and black. With her hair pulled back, we needed her face to truly stand out. The makeup featured a sultry feline cat eye paired with Jennifer’s signature glow. Understanding Jennifer’s preference for options, I prepared multiple mood boards for all three potential dresses. Once we finalized the dress, we were able to narrow down the makeup look. Preparing for this event involves countless hours of meticulous planning and execution by the entire team.” —Ash K Holm
