Eurovision 2024 has begun in Malmö: the first semi-final of edition n.68 unfolds before our eyes between fireworks, glitter and pop colours. There are 15 singers and bands competing. 10 places up for grabs for the final on Saturday 12 May. Furthermore, the novelty this year is that for the first time the Big Five will perform during both semi-finals and on the first evening the artists from Sweden, Germany and Great Britain will give a show.
The event will be presented by Petra Mede and Malin Åkerman who, to underline their energy, enter the scene with a vitaminic look. Perfect on a chromatic level: blonde and brunette, the first with long hair Seventies vibes, the second 80s with quiff and side parting.

JESSICA GOW/TT/Getty ImagesAs usual, the watchword, even when it comes to the beauty look, is too much. Exaggerate, exaggerate, bring to excess, hair, nails, make-up. Some people do it (definitely), some people don't. However, there are still many European pop stars who literally stick out their claws: For nails, size matters at Eurovision. And so we see sharp nail art, from the darkest to those sparkling.

The hair, of course, is no exception: if the current trend requires long hair, at Eurovision 2024 it will be made very long. And the make-up? Euphoria still reigns. At least in Malmö. Below are the beauty looks of the artists of the first semi-final.

Rapunzel style raven hair, compact bangs, eyeliner as sharp as nails. Half elf, half Cher.

For every hedgehog, a whim? Who knows, in the meantime curly heads have always been popular, at least since the days of Justin Timberlake and 'NSync. The Lithuanian singer pairs it with a strange silver patch piercing on his nose.

Ollie Alexander (Great Britain)

Very short cut, clean face. Nothing else to declare.
