Welcome to VOIR ICONS — our new editorial series spotlighting the visionaries reshaping fashion and beauty from the inside out. First up? Rokael Lizama, the celebrity makeup artist trusted by Beyoncé, the Kardashians, and the biggest names in pop culture to deliver jaw-dropping, era-defining beauty looks.

From the divine drama of Renaissance to the rebellious glam of Cowboy Carter, Rokael is the man behind Beyoncé’s every era—and now, he’s defining his own.

The Cowboy Carter Era: Glam With Grit
As Beyoncé gallops into her Cowboy Carter chapter, her look is as bold and unapologetic as her sound. And Rokael is at the center of it all.

From sultry, sunset-toned eyes to the now-iconic “juicy nude lip” (crafted using Rokael Beauty’s ‘Alignment’ Lip Shader, ‘Lucero’ Lip Oil, and ‘Refined’ Velvet Crème Lipstick), his latest creations are a lesson in modern Americana meets high-fashion editorial. It’s raw, refined, and entirely Beyoncé.

At Voir, we’re obsessed.

From Durango to Destiny’s Child and Beyond
Rokael’s story begins in Durango, Mexico, and unfolds in the heart of Hollywood. He started out grooming stars like Drake and Kanye West but quickly transitioned to makeup, working his way into the trusted inner circle of celebrity glam.

Today, his client list is a who’s who of modern icons: Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Normani, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, Mariah Carey, and UK radio darling Yasmin Evans and many more.

Whether he’s perfecting a Kardashian smokey eye or giving Normani runway-ready skin, Rokael brings editorial precision to every red carpet, music video, and arena tour.

Rokael Beauty: Where Artistry Becomes Ritual
Launched in 2017, Rokael Beauty is an extension of his artistry. It began with lashes (his “Sun, Moon, and Stars” collection is still a pro favourite) and has evolved into a full beauty line, now worn by Beyoncé herself.

The brand’s hero lip trio went viral thanks to Cowboy Carter, proving that Rokael doesn’t just follow the culture—he creates it.

Working with Icons, Building His Own Legacy
In addition to his own brand, Rokael was tapped as a Complexion Consultant by Haus Labs by Lady Gaga, helping to create their groundbreaking 51-shade Triclone SkinTech Foundation—a role that reinforced his reputation as one of the most technically skilled artists in the business.

Yet despite the star power, Rokael remains deeply grounded in his mission: to elevate, empower, and evolve what beauty means.

The 2025 Met Gala may have delivered sharply tailored silhouettes and boundary-pushing couture, but it was the beauty looks that truly stole the show. From power brows to glass skin, stars turned the iconic carpet into a runway of sculptural glam, retro accents, and defiant individuality. Here’s our exclusive breakdown of the standout beauty moments from this year’s Met Gala.

Rihanna: Classic Drama with a Twist
Rihanna redefined statement beauty in a supersized hat and two-tone polka dot bow. Her makeup was as intentional as her styling: rich blush swept across her cheeks, a glossy berry lip, and winged eyeliner framed her face with vintage elegance. A subtle highlight across the high points of her face gave her that signature “Fenty glow.” It was classic Rihanna—playful, powerful, and poised.

Doechii: Afro-Futurist Dandy
Doechii brought swagger to the carpet with a Louis Vuitton–coded checkerboard ensemble and a perfectly fluffed afro that evoked ‘70s soul. Her glowing skin and glossy lips were punctuated by a singular drawn-on beauty mark, while her eyes shimmered with metallic bronze. With a deep burgundy satin bowtie and cigar in hand, the look radiated fearless individuality.

Priyanka Chopra: Polished and Poised
Priyanka embraced tailored femininity in polka dots, but it was her glam that pulled it all together. A sharply contoured cheek, nude lip, and subtle smokey eye created a timeless look. Her center-parted hair, tucked under a sweeping wide-brim hat, gave a nod to classic noir styling. The emerald necklace wasn’t just jewelry—it was the anchor of a look built on balance and power.

Dua Lipa: Kiss Curls and Couture Edge
Dua Lipa leaned into the night’s tailoring theme with a twist of sensuality. Her diamond-lined eyes and kiss curl detailing elevated her Chanel look from elegant to editorial. She paired the intricate hairstyle with a smoky cut-crease eye and layered diamond necklaces. Her look was both high fashion and unmistakably modern.

Lupita Nyong’o: Sculptural Grace
Lupita never misses, and this year was no exception. In a powder-blue ensemble topped with a flat-brim hat, her look nodded to church hats and Sunday best. But it was her brows—bejeweled with crystals—that made a statement. Paired with pearlescent shadow and natural lips, her glowing skin was the canvas for an artistic, architectural beauty moment.

Lisa: Doll-Like Perfection
BLACKPINK’s Lisa stepped out in a daring lace two-piece with LV monogrammed tights, but her beauty look channeled doll-like delicacy. Glass skin, softly winged eyeliner, and a petal pink lip gave her a youthful radiance. Her tousled updo with tendrils at the temples felt effortless, yet perfectly styled for the occasion.

Sydney Sweeney: Glamour Meets Edge
Sydney brought her signature siren beauty with a twist. A bold black wing and sultry nude lips gave her that old Hollywood allure, but the standout was the singular kiss curl sweeping her forehead—a small, retro touch that elevated the overall drama of her shimmering black gown.

Gigi Hadid: Golden Hour Muse
Gigi’s golden ensemble was complemented by soft waves styled into retro rolls, framing her face like a mid-century pin-up. Her makeup was all golden hues and soft shadowing, a monochromatic palette that let her sculptural dress shine without competing.

Sabrina Carpenter: Barbiecore Meets Business
Sabrina’s rich wine-toned pinstripe suit may have screamed “business,” but her beauty read pure glamour. Her voluminous platinum waves, doll-like lashes, and peachy blush made her look like a modern-day Marilyn with a power twist.

Megan Thee Stallion: Showgirl Sparkle
Megan delivered unapologetic glamour in a silver embellished corset dress and towering ponytail. Her sculpted body glow, glossy lip, and razor-sharp cat eye served classic “hot girl” energy with Met-level execution. Icy perfection.

Final Thoughts
This year’s Met Gala beauty looks weren’t just about aesthetics—they were power statements. Whether through afro silhouettes, jeweled facial embellishments, or architectural hair, these artists and their glam squads showed us that makeup is more than just enhancement—it’s storytelling.
