We. Are. Obsessed. Jasmine Sanders (AKA @golden_barbie) killed it with a lil help from Cloud Nine at the MET Gala at the beginning of this month. Her hairstylist Renda Attia shared this incred video of her hair and we had to share it with you guys. Obvs it was a good move, as you guys loved it just as much as we did.

We’ve all used Vita Liberata to get that glow on the go (Vita Liberata Body Blur is a must-have for last min plans), and we found ourselves reaching for the tube again when we saw Hailey Baldwin’s glo up at the BBMAs. We know she used the Vita Liberata Beauty Blur Skin Tone Optimizer in Latte on the night, but click through to see the other products her MUA swore by and what the other stars were rockin’.

You know when you see a beauty tutorial on YouTube and think “why haven’t I tried this before”? Well, CC Clarke showed us how to fake abs and up our contour game with a lil help from Bondi Sands.

She applied the Bondi Sands 1 Hour Express Self Tanning Foam with a stippling brush along the contours of her stomach to create the appearance of abs. She also added it along the natural contours of her face for a more permanent contour (bye, bronzer).

Wait a while, then apply fake tan to the rest of your body and face to get an overall glow. Once your tan’s developed, wash off for a toned glow.
