“For Christina Aguilera’s Dolce & Gabbana performance in Sardinia, I gave her cheeks a glistening glow with Ortega Beauty Ethereal Glow Balm in Rose Quartz.”

“To help Kris Jenner light up the Met Gala red carpet, I prepped her skin, then used Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation and highlighted with the Ortega Beauty Glow Balm. I used cool-toned smoky shades for her eyes and Kylie’s Kylash Volume Mascara. For her glossy lip, I used the Ortega Beauty Soft Contour Lip Liner in LA Chic and applied the Agave Glow Color Stick in Nubes to the center for a radiant finish.”

”This year with Lana Del Rey has been truly magical. At Coachella, I focused on desert-proof beauty, warming her eyes with rich tones and giving her lips a hydrating touch with the Ortega Beauty Blu Nectar Lip Oil and a hint of the Liquid Icon Hyper Gloss. Her Met Gala glam featured a sultry lip using my Soft Contour Lip Liner in Cinnamon Girl and Agave Glow Color Stick in Petals. To complement her Songwriter Icon Award updo, I created a radiant look using the Ethereal Glow Balm in Ice Queen and Golden Hour.”
