The Beauty Trend Kesha Was Doing Well Before Euphoria Repopularized It

Season 2 of "Euphoria" gave us more makeup inspiration and the looks got edgier and bolder with exaggerated lines and colors; the show never disappoints by giving us enough glam while serving us enough teenage drama. Speaking of graphic eyeliner, we often saw Maddy rocking all-out graphic eyeliner, whether it was a reverse cat eye or sharp double wing, per Seventeen.

If you thought "Euphoria" was the modern-day inspiration for over-the-top graphic eyeliner with glitter and colors, Kesha had been rocking the look since the late 2000s. In 2009, Kesha attended an event with her signature graphic eyeliner in blue-black with glitter tears under one eye (via Seventeen). Could this be the inspiration behind Rue's glitter tears? A year later, in 2010, she attended the MTV Movie Awards with an exaggerated cat eye in black eyeliner with an extra wing on one side. Another striking look came in 2011 when Kesha used black eyeliner to accentuate the inner corner of her eyes and draw larger-than-life wings with gold glitter makeup.

It seems the "Blah Blah Blah" singer was the pioneer who challenged makeup norms and redefined the beauty trends that we see Maddy, Jules, and Rue wearing on the show. Kesha was way ahead of her time and loved to shock the world with her never-before-seen makeup that people are copying all over TikTok, which was also the name of her first hit single, as Biography reported.
