7 Beauty Looks Only Beyoncé Can Pull Off

The beginning of September marks many occassions, including the most important: Queen Bey’s birthday. Besides giving us major #relationshipgoals and girl power anthems to rock out to while we’re out with the girls, Bey is pretty damn stylish.

The average collegiette wouldn’t be able to pull off many of the looks she rocks with such class, and so we’ve picked a few of our favorites that take Bey Yourself to the next level.

1. Intentional Wet Hair


Although the wet hair look has been a popular beauty trend for the past few years, we’ve never seen it look as good as it does on Beyoncé in the September issue of Vogue.

2. Fountain Ponytail


Many collegiettes have left their fountain ponytail days behind with cheer practices or formals, but Bey recently pumped up the volume with a crazy high ponytail and slayed.

3. Statement Eyeliner and Bold Lipstick 


Normally, we would pick one or the other, but Beyoncé combines both of these statement-making looks and totally rocks it.

4. Chic Game Day Makeup 


Dang, if we could pull off game day makeup this well, we’d probably be extra hyped about homecoming games.

5. Highlighted Bangs


In this look, the majority of Bey’s hair features her natural dark hue and her bangs are the only part of her hair that are lighter in color. Rather than looking mismatched and out of place, she pulls it off so well we actually might consider trying it ourselves.

6. Bright Blue Eyeshadow


Rather than looking like a clown, Beyoncé kills it once again in this bold and bright blue eyeshadow. 

7. Black Lipstick


We couldn’t take our eyes off of Bey’s intense black lip in the “Video Phone” music video she stars in alongside Lady Gaga. We’re pretty sure that we’d get some very strange looks if we showed up to our morning lecture with lipstick this dark!


Happy Birthday, Queen Bey! Keep on slaying.
