Marie Antionette

Sofia Coppola's 2006 film about the life of the iconic queen of France, Marie Antoinette, is a must-watch for anyone who loves pastel color palettes, period pieces, and makeup: lots and lots of makeup. The extravagant costumes worn, with equally over-the-top beauty looks — think powered complexions, stained lips, and pinched cheeks — will take you back in time instantly.

02
Vidal Sassoon: The Movie

Vidal Sassoon: The Movie

Vidal Sassoon is one the most iconic hairdressers of all time, so why not watch a movie about the industry pro? If you watch this film, you will be transported through the fascinating world that Sassooon created in the 1960s and beyond, and be inspired by cuts, colors, and beautiful styles that have survived generations of fashion and cultures.

03
Drop Dead Gorgeous
Everett Collection

Drop Dead Gorgeous

This '90s movie is a parody of real-life beauty pageants, from small towns in middle America, and every contestant's style perfectly suits them. From Kirsten Dunst wearing a United States of America map as a hat topper to Brittany Murphy's Barbie hat — and dark hair color to offset it — each star outdid the other in this movie, and their dramatic eye looks and big hair moments are not to be missed!

04
Breakfast at Tiffany's

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Aubrey Hepburn is a beauty icon on her own, but in Breakfast at Tiffany's she takes it up a notch. Her feminine style and grace is paired with the dream liquid eyeliner look and bold lashes that every girl wishes they had. Plus, her hair is so classic and elegant, and we want to recreate each and every look on a regular basis — especially while dining at Tiffany's.

05
Chasing Beauty
Everett Collection

Chasing Beauty

This documentary shows a real glimpse into the world of modeling. It will take you through what it's like to be on set and pose for Vogue and Glamour and what it really takes to make it in this cutthroat industry. Of course, there are some glamorous elements to being a model and being on the cover of magazines — like the fancy clothes and fabulous beauty looks — but this film goes beyond that.

PS: It takes you through the modeling world as a whole, meaning makeup artists are also a big part of the film, so yay.

06
Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
Everett Collection

Romy and Michele's High School Reunion

What's not to love about two best friends who make their own clothes, and do their own makeup and stay true to their wild, fun selves? Both Romy and Michele have such unique style in this '90s film, and we can't get enough of their banter, shimmer-inspired ensembles, and bright colored makeup choices.

Side note: They invented Post-Its and rocked a power suit without becoming boring, so yes, you should take notes.

07
Burlesque
Everett Collection

Burlesque

Burlesque is Broadway meets drag queen makeup at its finest, and we're big fans of both. As you watch Christina Aguilera's Ali try to become a burlesque dancer, you'll be taken on a musical journey that features shiny costumes, big hair, and bold makeup looks, some of which are inspired by Cher. It's a match made in movie heaven.

08
Miss Congeniality
Everett Collection

Miss Congeniality

When you first think about Miss Congeniality you probably think about Sandra Bullock as a badass cop who goes undercover at the Miss United States pageant and gets the bad guy . . . and you'd be right. The side we often forget about, however, is the amazing makeover scene that happens when Gracie Hart becomes Gracie Lou Freebush, in addition to all of the amazing ladies who rock gorgeous costumes and beauty looks throughout the pageant. When it comes down to it we all want good makeup . . . and world peace!

09
Grease
Everett Collection

Grease

Singing along to "Beauty School Dropout" is reason enough for all you beauty gurus to watch Grease. In addition to watching this legendary musical and seeing Sandy and Danny fall in love in the '50s for the millionth time, you should re-watch this movie for its beauty and style trends that have somehow stood the test of time.

Need somewhere to start? Focus on Sandy and Frenchie's wardrobes and makeup looks, they are polar opposite, and yet, on screen they work seamlessly together.

10
Pretty in Pink
Everett Collection

Pretty in Pink

Molly Ringwald was a fashion icon in the '80s and Pretty in Pink is one of the best examples of why. Her character Andie, might not have had a lot of money, but she proved that style and beauty isn't something you can buy. Instead, she created unique looks to wear to class and of course the prom, and her signature pink color — which was also seen in her lipstick choices (note the lip liner detail) — is too pretty to ignore.

11
Clueless
Everett Collection

Clueless

Cher Horowitz was the girl to aspire to be in the '90s, especially when it came to beauty and style. Despite the fact that a lot of her fashion choices were outrageous at times, they were all super fun, and honestly haven't really gone out of style.

Plus, when she teams up with Dionne to give Tai a full makeover, complete with a makeup tutorial, it's like living in teen beauty heaven. As if having a makeover montage could ever be boring!

12
Cleopatra
Everett Collection

Cleopatra

Every scene in this movie is a makeup lover's dream. Liz Taylor nails it as Cleopatra with her famously bold black liner, and we're not worthy of so many perfectly dramatic eye looks in one place.
