All the Mesmerizing, Colorful Beauty in Lemonade
There are 12 songs in Beyoncé’s Lemonade, but the number of hair and makeup changes soar well past 20. In the hour-long visual album, it’s easy to spot a few familiar looks fans have come to expect, like microbraids, cornrows, and golden curls. But Beyoncé never shies from pushing the beauty envelope, and her latest video was no different. There’s an underwater Beyoncé whose mascara magically fails to run; a sunbathing Beyoncé, with loose tendrils stretched beneath her; and a glow-in-the-dark Beyoncé who’s slightly eerie, but mostly cool. Click the slideshow below for a ranking of Lemonade’s best beauty looks.
