From Elizabeth Taylor at the Oscars to Zendaya at Valentino, beauty looks we consider "classic" have evolved over time. In the '70s, pretty pastels were all the rage; in the '90s, makeup was all matte browns and pinks; and in the last decade, we've seen dramatic, bold eye makeup take center stage.

Whether you have a formal event coming up or just want to evolve your "classic" go-to makeup, there's something on this list for you. Below, the most classic red carpet beauty ever.
