This year’s hair, makeup, and costume winners at the Creative Arts Emmys represented some of the most ambitious and inventive works of beautifying.

The final night of Emmys in these categories saw a few fan favorites be recognized. HBO’s runaway hit “Euphoria” won its second Emmy of the year after winning for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. Doniella Davy, Kirsten Coleman, and Tara Lang walked away with the award for Outstanding Contemporary Makeup.

The show was also up for an Emmy for their costumes but the Contemporary Costume win went to Debra Hanson and Darci Cheyne for the final season of Pop TV’s “Schitt’s Creek.” And after winning an Emmy for its Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music, Netflix’s “Hollywood” won the award for its period hairstyling, going to Michelle Ceglia, Barry Lee Moe, George Guzman, Michele L. Arvizo, and Maria Elena Pantoja.

The usual winners are present and accounted for, including Netflix’s “The Crown,” which walked away with Outstanding Period Costumes for costume designers Amy Roberts and Sidonie Roberts, as well as costume supervisor Sarah Moore. And Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” won in the makeup category, going to Patricia Regan, Claus Lulla, Joseph A. Campayno, Margot Boccia, Michael Laudati, Tomasina Smith, Roberto Baez, and Alberto Machuca. Fun fact: “The Crown” has won every year it’s been nominated.

But it wasn’t only veterans that took home a trophy. Newcomers “Star Trek: Picard” from CBS All Access and HBO’s “Watchmen” secured wins for its prosthetic — courtesy of James MacKinnon, Vincent Van Dyke, Richard Redlefsen, Alexei Dmitiew, Neville Page, and Michael Ornelaz — and for Sharen Davis and Valerie Zielonka’s sci-fi/fantasy costumes, respectively. “RuPaul’s Drag Race” dominated the reality categories for Curtis Foreman and Ryan Randall’s contemporary hairstyling and Natasha Marcelina, David Petruschin, Jen Fregozo, and Nicole Faulkner’s makeup.
