The matchy-matchy look \u2014 think coordinating your nail to your dress<\/a> or wearing accessories in the same shade as your ensemble \u2014 can be pretty polarizing. To some, it\u2019s classic. To others, it\u2019s fusty and predictable. But one of the newest ways to coordinate with color is taking the celebrity set by storm, and it offers enough room for variation that everyone will want to try it. Monochromatic makeup has never been trendier, in part because your favorite A-listers have proven there\u2019s no one set way to do it. From Jenna Ortega\u2019s all-maroon makeup<\/a> to Hailey Bieber\u2019s super simple \u201cplum girl\u201d <\/a>look, the biggest beauty trendsetters are putting their own spin on the harmonious makeup style to make it suitable for casual occasions and glamorous events alike. <\/p>\n

So why are you seeing monochromatic makeup on so many celebrities of late? \u201cI think they love it because generally it\u2019s a softer look,\u201d celebrity makeup artist Melanie Inglessis<\/a> (who created Ortega\u2019s maroon look) tells TZR. \u201cIt gives a sense of uniformity and softness with an overall focus on… the makeup as one, and not a single feature like a bold lip or smoky eyes.\u201d <\/p>\n

That said, bolder beauties \u2014 including the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice<\/em> star \u2014 have been known to turn it up a notch. A perfect example is Margot Robbie\u2019s orange makeup from a Once Upon a Time in Hollywood<\/em> press event in 2019. Tangerine tones aren\u2019t always thought of as the most wearable, but makeup artist Pati Dubroff<\/a> chose the shade for the actor\u2019s eyes, lips, and cheeks, creating an effect that was soft, yet statement-making.<\/p>\n

But if orange just isn\u2019t your color, don\u2019t worry. Inglessis says the most popular way to wear monochromatic makeup is a lot more subtle. \u201cMost likely, you would use earth tones,\u201d peach, or pink, she says; peachy-caramels and berries also work beautifully. And recreating it can be so simple. \u201cStart with a cream product that can be a cheek\/ lip combo, then stain the lip with a similar color,\u201d she suggests. \u201cBlend softly, and don\u2019t be scared to use your fingers to dab the same color from lips to cheeks, from cheeks to eyes!\u201d<\/p>\n

For the Rome premiere of The Drama<\/a><\/em>, makeup artist Nikki Wolf \u2014 better known as @nikki_makeup<\/a> \u2014 gave Zendaya rosy-brown cheeks, then seamlessly swept up the shade up to her lids.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Academy Awards were full of matchy-matchy makeup moments<\/a>, with many guests opting for head-to-toe drenches of color. Among them: Martin, whose \u201clatte makeup\u201d by Diana Shin<\/a> paired perfectly with her chocolate brown bob and cozy cocoa gown.<\/p>\n

In another monochrome moment from the 98th Oscars, Li, working with artist Sara Hill<\/a>, wore soft red lips and cheeks with her bright red Gaurav Gupta Couture gown.<\/p>\n

It-girl Infiniti looked peachy keen in London, where she was promoting Hulu\u2019s The Testaments<\/a><\/em>. Makeup artist Naoko Scintu<\/a> gave the actress radiant cheeks and a slightly deeper lip, both in the pinky-orange hue.<\/p>\n

@babskymakeup<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

With mauve on her lips, cheeks, and lids \u2014 and the perfect micro-winged<\/a> flick of black liner \u2014 Bridgerton<\/em> breakout Ha and MUA Alex Babsky<\/a> make a compelling case for monochrome cool tones.<\/p>\n

Kiernan Shipka<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
.s1533331626{padding-top:133.2639%}@media(min-width:768px){.s1533331626{padding-top:133.2639%}}\"Kiernan<\/div>
@laurengottmakeup<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Call it \u201cspring with an edge.\u201d Makeup artist Lauren Gott<\/a> gave Shipka peony-pink eyeshadow, blush, and lips, all with a mega-glossy finish. Heavy black eyeliner and loads of lashes keep things from looking too prim.<\/p>\n

Keke Palmer<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
.s1628902829{padding-top:124.6296%}@media(min-width:768px){.s1628902829{padding-top:124.6296%}}\"Keke<\/div>
@basedkenken<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Palmer\u2019s go-to makeup artist, Kenya Alexis<\/a>, has given the One of Them Days<\/em> star monochromatic makeup looks<\/a> a time or two, even tying her current copper hair color into the mix for the most harmonious effect. <\/p>\n

Dua Lipa<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
.s227955373{padding-top:99.9074%}@media(min-width:768px){.s227955373{padding-top:99.9074%}}\"Dua<\/div>
@dualipa<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Lipa loves wearing one color on eyes, lips, and cheeks, whether it be terracottas<\/a> or rosy tones. And the fact that one of her makeup artists, Katie Jane Hughes<\/a>, has her own brand of matte, multitasking sticks makes the singer\u2019s looks easy to recreate. <\/p>\n

Elizabeth Olsen<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
.s1343971817{padding-top:124.975%}@media(min-width:768px){.s1343971817{padding-top:124.975%}}\"Elizabeth<\/div>
@patidubroff<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Proof that all monochromatic makeup looks don\u2019t have to feel matchy, Dubroff played with shades of pink and plum when painting Olsen for the 2025 Independent Spirit Awards, to stunning effect. <\/p>\n

Jenna Ortega <\/h2>\n
\n
\n
.s227955373{padding-top:99.9074%}@media(min-width:768px){.s227955373{padding-top:99.9074%}}\"Jenna<\/div>
@melaniemakeup<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

For the SXSW screening of Death of a Unicorn<\/em>, Inglessis was inspired by Ortega\u2019s burgundy shirt and tie. As an unpredictable twist, she added a jolt of color in the form of blue mascara, helping to break up the monochromatic look. <\/p>\n

Zo\u00eb Kravitz<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
.s-727940929{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s-727940929{padding-top:125%}}\"Zo\u00eb<\/div>
@ninapark<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Choosing earth tones, like Nina Park<\/a> did on Kravitz, is one way to make matchy makeup feel so user-friendly. Here, the Blink Twice<\/em> director wore it to a movie screening as part of a glamorous head-to-toe look, but it can also be dressed down for daily wear. <\/p>\n

Hailey Bieber <\/h2>\n
\n
\n
.s-727940929{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s-727940929{padding-top:125%}}\"Hailey<\/div>
@haileybieber<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Leave it to Bieber to make putting on makeup always feel fun, easy, and approachable. Enter her Pocket Blush<\/a> shade, Plum, which she used all over for the simplest (and fastest) monochromatic look. <\/p>\n

Anya Taylor-Joy<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
.s1806695356{padding-top:150%}@media(min-width:768px){.s1806695356{padding-top:150%}}\"Anya<\/div>

The ballerina-inspired blush shade of Taylor-Joy\u2019s dress at the 2025 Golden Globe awards likely inspired the colors her makeup artist Georgie Eisdell<\/a> chose for the actor\u2019s eyelids, lips, and cheeks \u2014 creating the softest effect from head to toe. <\/p>\n

Halle Berry <\/h2>\n
\n
\n
.s-727940929{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s-727940929{padding-top:125%}}\"Halle<\/div>
@hungvanngo<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

When Berry recreated her iconic Oscars look at Elie Saab World late last year, her makeup artist Hung Vanngo<\/a> took the opportunity to tie the reddish brown tones of her dress into her glam. <\/p>\n

Margot Robbie<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
.s-727940929{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s-727940929{padding-top:125%}}\"Margot<\/div>
@patidubroff <\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Robbie\u2019s peachy-tangerine makeup (and matching mani!) was so unexpected for the star, yet hinted at her commitment to one color (ahem, Barbie pink) that was to come. <\/p>\n
