That exciting but totally bittersweet day—graduation—is right around the corner. You’ve just spent weeks conquering your last finals, and definitely have the under-eye bags to show for it. Don’t let it stay that way! We’ve found some major inspo from the Met Gala red carpet, so channel some of your favorite celebs as you walk at graduation!
Beyoncé
Those long locks will work just fine under a graduation cap—and that smoky eye is full-on #goals.
Elle Fanning
We love how timeless and fresh Elle’s makeup is! When you’re looking at your graduation photos years down the line, you’re going to want to think of the memories—and not what makeup trends were in at the time, so keeping it neutral isn’t a bad idea.
Kendall Jenner
Let’s be real—you’re probably going to be weeping during the graduation festivities, so make sure you keep some waterproof mascara on hand. Want the feathered look all ceremony long? Try lash extensions to get the length Kendall has here!
Poppy Delevingne
Chances are, your parents aren’t going to be sitting right up close to the stage when you pick up your diploma. Make sure they can see your beaming smile by rocking a bold lip color!
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
If you’ve spent the week leading up to graduation partying, opt for a low-maintenance look like the Olsen twins are wearing here. A little bit of smudged eyeliner and strategically tousled hair does the trick!
HAIM
Overall, this trio is wearing a pretty neutral look, from makeup to hair. But where they really stand out is the brows—and who doesn’t want to be remembered for having the best brows on graduation day?
Kate Bosworth
Your soon-to-be employer might be scrolling through your social media profiles, and it doesn’t hurt to look office-ready in your graduation pics. Letting them see you with these matte red lips will make you appear both elegant and professional!
