Revlon proved that a red carpet moment does not have to come with a luxury price tag. Partnering with celebrity makeup artist Afton Williams, the brand delivered a full face, eye, lip, and body look for three-time nominee and fan-favorite country star Lainey Wilson with every single product ringing in under $20.
The focus was clear from the start: skin that looks fresh, even, and photo-ready without appearing overdone. Williams began by prepping Lainey’s complexion with Revlon’s new PhotoReady Lift + Fill Skin Tint in Shade 120, creating a smooth, softly radiant base that evened out the skin while still letting it breathe. To add dimension where the light naturally hits, ColorStay Face + Body Glow Lotion in Glow Through It was buffed onto the tops of the cheeks and high points of the face, giving the skin a subtle sheen that translated beautifully on camera.
For the cheeks, Williams mixed Glimmer Blush Drops in Pink It Over with the Glow Lotion, creating a sheer wash of colour with a hint of shimmer. A light dusting of Powder Blush in Oh Baby! Pink set everything in place while keeping the finish natural.
The eyes stayed classic and defined. Brows were shaped with the ColorStay Micro Brow Pencil in Ash Blonde and held with the new PhotoReady Lifting Brow Gel in Soft Taupe. The lids were primed with ColorStay Crème Eyeshadow in Praline, before ColorStay Eyeliner in Black was worked along the lash line and smudged upward into a soft wing. Extra depth came from tight-lining with the ColorStay Liquid Eyeliner Pen, while the lower lash line was softly smoked for balance. A generous coat of ColorStay Full Time Mascara in Blackest Black finished the eyes.
After prepping the lips with the Glimmer Lip Treat Balm + Mask in Hazelnut Latte, Williams sculpted the shape using ColorStay Multi-Liner Dynamic Doer, deepened with As Is, then softened everything with PhotoReady Instant Blur Liner in Murky. The final touch was PhotoReady Instant Plump Serum in Fill Her Up, adding shine while letting Lainey’s natural lip colour come through.
To tie it all together, ColorStay Face + Body Glow Lotion was applied to the collarbones and shoulders, extending that healthy glow beyond the face. The result was a cohesive, confident beauty look that proves red carpet makeup does not need a luxury price tag to deliver.
