Contour
Miracle Balm is a wash of soft-focus moisture to perfect and enhance skin. Bhads used the Miracle Balm in Bronze as a veil blush to recreate a sunkissed glow.
Brows
Go bold with Strokes Brow Colorist in Golden Brown. To create Brea’s strong brows, Nadynne brushed them upwards and outwards with the tinted brow pomade using its new tapered brush applicator for more precision. Its stronghold and sweat-proof formula keep every strand in place for up to 24 hours.
Blurred Lippie
The Rouge Artist Velvet Nude lipstick is a matte that is as soft as velvet when it's on your lips. To achieve the look, Bhads smudged and blurred the product on Rio’s lips.
Matte Lipstick
BLK Airy Matte Tint is an innovative skin-blurring finish with a light yet high-performing formula. Nadynne primarily outlined Brea’s lips to create shape and then she filled it in with the Airy Matte Tint in the shade Diva giving focus on the center of the lips.
Multi-Use
Issy Hydragloss lip treatment hydrates and repairs while adding a slick of color and glassy shine. Hydragloss is used on the lids and lips of Rio.
Lip Liner
MAC Lip Liner is designed for shaping, outlining, or filling in lips. Greige Lip Liner is a brown-gray tone that will bring your 90s vibe back to life.
Douyin
Silky Souffle Eyes is a sheer matte eyeshadow that melts into the skin. This Tutu Ballerina pallette was used to achieve a douyin effect on Rio.
Smokey Eyes
The Mini Spice Eyeshadow Palette features 9 full-pigment shades that span from warm neutrals to brilliant golds. Nadynne applied the Matte Warm Umber across Brea’s eyelids.
