Sure, it may be near impossible for just anyone to get their hands on the gorgeous designer gowns gracing the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet Sept. 22. However, the best 2019 Emmys beauty looks are much more achievable — giving you yet another reason to pay close attention to this year's award show. Especially when you consider the beauty products that found their way onto the red carpet at last year's Emmys; while certainly not all drugstore scores (Pat McGrath Labs' Mothership V: Bronze Seduction palette made an appearance more than once), 2018's event showcased an impressively wide and accessible range, from Chanel to COVERGIRL to Morphe.

That said, you may want to consider the Emmys beauty looks simply as a starting point. Undoubtedly it's the place where trends are born — or fuel is poured onto the fire. After all, how could you not be inspired, when the actors from Pose, Game of Thrones, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel are all in one place?

So, it comes as no surprise that this year's show brought the heat in the beauty department. For starters, This Is Us' Eris Baker nearly stole the show with her shimmering makeup (that channeled that of the Giorgio Armani Spring/Summer 2020 runway in Milan) and jeweled headpiece. Also a favorite of the evening was Dascha Polanco who paired her pink off-the-shoulder gown with a retro high pony and chic cat eye.

So, regardless if you use the Emmys beauty looks to find your new favorite products or scout out colors and trends for the upcoming season, continue scrolling down. Some of the most memorable makeup looks from the 2019 award show are below.
