When something is 'for the gods,' it's done so well it transcends ordinary human standard — you look like a deity, not a person. 'Beat for the gods' is the makeup version: a face painted so flawlessly it's beyond reproach. ('Beat' = makeup applied.) The phrase comes from the older ballroom expression 'fit for the gods.' You can stretch it to anything — hair, lashes, a whole look — done to perfection.
“Her face was beat for the gods — not a single edge out of place all night.”
