For Anitta’s soft rose-colored smoky eye, he used the Major Dimensions II Rose eyeshadow palette. For her sculpted cheeks, he used a combo of She’s Blushing and She’s Baked blushes. For her nude lip, he used She’s Independent Lip Cream underneath Major Volume Plumping Lip Gloss. The singer’s nails were done by celebrity nail artist Naomi Yasuda who used a KISS Manicure Kit and the KISS Salon Dip Color System to create a champagne chrome ombré effect. “To get the look, I started out by mixing up Aquage’s Transforming Paste, Defining Gel, Silkening Oil Treatment, and a little Finishing Spray for good hold, working the mixture through the back of her hair towards the front," she said in a press release. After using a blow dryer to lock in the product and style, Laura pulled Dixie’s hair back into a loose bun. “To polish off the look, I applied a little more Defining Gel and applied low heat with the T3 Dryer to set everything into place," she added. After foundation, Melissa applied Deck of Scarlet Mistake Proof Bronzer in the shade Illicit all over Latto’s skin. She then applied Deck of Scarlet Mirror Glaze Highlighting Trio with a brush on the rapper’s cheeks and body to give her skin a sun-kissed glow. On her lashes, Melissa applied several coats of Deck of Scarlet Big Lash Energy Mascara. To create natural feathered fluffy brows, she brushed Latto’s brow hairs up with the Deck of Scarlet Over-Arching Brow Kit in Soft Brown. Coree then styled Lil Nas’s high-top fade. “We defused his hair with göt2b Glued Blasting Freeze Spray upside down until it was dry and fluffed with a pick,” he said in a press release. For his nails, celebrity nail artist Temeka Jackson applied OPI classic shades Black Onyx and Bubble Bath, paired with some fun nail art. “Tonight’s look for the 2022 VMAs was sophisticated, sultry, and sublime. A combination of Divine Skin, a crystal winged eye created with my new Mothership X: Moonlit Seduction Eye Palette, and the perfect red lip with LiquiLust Legendary Wear Lipstick in Elson 4." Her makeup artist then used Beautiful Skin Foundation and Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer to even out her skin. For her eyes, she used Treslúce Beauty’s La Flor de Mexico Shadow palette, and Treslúce Beauty’s Accomplished liner in her water line. Lastly, her bold lip was achieved using Treslúce Beauty’s Intenso Liner in Amor. The final look was chef’s kiss.
