While you've no doubt already checked out the best dressed and craziest dressed celebs on the red carpet, these are the celebs who slayed the hair and makeup game.

From Kim Kardashian's super strobed and glowy skin to Hailey Baldwin's tousled waves and Camila Cabello's divine smokey purple eye makeup, there is so much celeb beauty inspo going on that you might wanna grab a notebook to take notes as gahd knows these are sure to be the trends we're all rocking this autumn.
