“Pose” dives deep into New York’s black and Latinx LGBTQ+ ballroom culture scene in the ’80s, and the dazzling beauty looks are some of the best you’ll see on TV.

Helping create the FX hit’s Emmy-nominated makeup moments is Deja Smith, who in addition to her work on the series happens to be Laverne Cox’s longtime glam guru.

“The one thing I absolutely loved about working on ‘Pose’ was the fact that I got to be amongst so much of the LGBTQIA community of color,” Smith told Page Six Style. “As a black trans woman, it meant the world to me to be able to give back in that way.”

Below, the beauty whiz breaks down her five favorite looks from Season 2 of the show — including one she created for Billy Porter, who’s up for Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series on Sunday for his performance as Pray Tell.

To create this “incredible, show-stopping performance look” for Angelica Ross’ Candy Ferocity in Episode 4, Smith used Pat McGrath Labs’ Mothership V Eyeshadow Palette ($125) on the star’s eyes, lips and cheeks for some “stage-worthy” sparkle. As for those oversized lashes? They’re from BatMe! Cosmetics, whose founder Jayla Roxx is the first trans woman of color to run her own beauty brand.

In Episode 6, Billy Porter’s character Pray Tell is in the hospital with AZT poisoning. Smith wanted to create a “stark contrast” between his hospitalized appearance and that during his fantastical musical number, so she applied Make Up For Ever’s Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation ($43) to give the award-winning actor’s face a flawless finish. The result? “His skin was a dream,” she told us.

To craft a “period look” for Bianca Castro’s Veronica Ferocity, Smith used one of the ultra-pigmented eyeshadow palettes from black-owned beauty brand Juvia’s Place for a “bold pop.”

“I am an artsy-craftsy girl, so the chance to play with silver leaf? Perfect,” Smith said of this ethereal effect she whipped up for Brielle Rheames’ Silhouette Wintour for Episode 2’s Eros Ball.

To prep the walkers for the Black and White Old Hollywood category, Smith reached for MAC Chromacake ($29) — which is highly pigmented and entirely opaque — solely in black and white. “The effect was insane,” she said.
