This guide is for the skincare lovers and makeup enthusiasts ready to capture that superstar energy.
The Canvas: Prepping for a Camera-Ready Look
Achieving a flawless complexion, whether for the stage or a selfie, starts with a perfectly prepped base. Bad Bunny’s smooth skin is the ideal canvas for any look. The key to this is a primer that not only holds makeup but also benefits the skin. For an unshakeable hold that lasts all day, the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer is your go-to. If you want to enhance your skin's texture while prepping, the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide evens out skin tone for a truly polished start.
With your skin prepped, the next step is a foundation that perfects without masking. The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundation provides a weightless, full-coverage matte finish, creating a smooth, poreless look worthy of any red carpet.
The Detail Work: Conceal, Set, and Protect
An artist's life involves long hours and demanding schedules. To look fresh and awake, a great concealer is non-negotiable. The Hourglass® Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer is a lightweight, crease-proof formula that brightens the under-eye area effortlessly. For a luminous finish that catches the light, the community-favorite NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is perfect for correcting imperfections and adding a touch of brightness.
To lock in your look, a finely milled powder is essential. The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder blurs imperfections and sets makeup for a soft-focus finish. Another excellent choice is the Hourglass® Vanish Airbrush Pressed Powder, which provides a sheer, skin-perfecting veil.
True skincare, however, is a daily commitment. Protecting your skin from sun damage is the ultimate secret to maintaining a youthful glow. The La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 offers powerful, broad-spectrum protection in a non-greasy formula that works beautifully under makeup.
Power up your routine with targeted serums. For intense hydration, the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum – Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin B5 plumps and repairs the skin. To achieve a brighter, more even complexion, the La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum – Pure Vitamin C + Salicylic Acid is your antioxidant hero. For those managing breakouts, the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Acne Serum helps to clear pores and refine skin texture.
The Artist's Palette: Color and Glow
Bad Bunny never shies away from color, and a touch of blush adds life and dimension to any look. For a dewy, natural-looking flush, the NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush is perfect. The creamy rhode Pocket Blush offers a buildable, sun-kissed glow that is easy to apply on the go.
If you love innovative formulas, the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint provides a sheer, long-lasting stain for both lips and cheeks. For a hydrating stick formula, the Pixi On-the-Glow Blush delivers a fresh, dewy finish. And for a truly ethereal wash of color, the Hourglass® Unreal Liquid Blush melts into the skin beautifully.
The Signature Finish: Lips and Lashes
A Benito-inspired look isn't complete without hydrated lips and defined lashes. For deep overnight conditioning, the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask EX – Berry works wonders, leaving lips incredibly soft.
During the day, maintain that hydration with a nourishing lip product. The Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil uses Mirsalehi honey to moisturize, while the Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil adds a gorgeous, high-shine tint. The beloved Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is another perfect choice for all-day comfort.
For shaping and color, use the rhode Peptide Lip Shape to define your lips, followed by the rhode Peptide Lip Tint for a wash of color. The YSL Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss offers a fuller look with a glossy finish. For a simple, nourishing option, the Pixi +Hydra Lip Treat is an excellent everyday staple.
Finally, amplify your lashes with the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High® Mascara. It delivers incredible length and volume, making your eyes the center of attention.
