You’ve probably heard, seen, and been charmed by Queen B’s unexpected return to the spotlight by now. While we all want to be in Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’ lineup, we also want to be friends with Sir John, the captain of her Glam Squad and the brain behind all of her beauty looks in the (soon to be) famous video. We’re still swooning over those glossy pink eyes, gray lips, and perfectly manicured nails!

We may be the only ones attempting to figure out what’s causing this strange reality, but we have come to the conclusion that it’s all part of her legendary Beyoncé persona. The royal aspect is the ultimate of beauty and grace, capable of making a man fall in love with a single smile. Maybe it’s all in her learned gaping fashion, or maybe it’s simply her coming-of-age cosmetics looks.

When she’s without wearing makeup, her radiant skin and hand features make a powerful statement. Still, my burgeoning Instagram library of some of her most debilitating makeup moments proves that it’s all about the meticulous makeup art that makes the Beyoncé peer the statement that it is. From delicate touches to shockingly strong aesthetics that would make me say yes to dealing with my soul if she asked – these cosmetic moments are terrifying, brutal, and merciless. The queen will live forever.

Let’s have a peek at the best makeup looks of Beyonce.
