Weekends are reserved for low maintenance everything. We spend five entire days on the go, so we need these precious breaks in our schedule to take things easy. That includes simplifying our makeup routine. When it comes down to effortless beauty, Shot Clock singer, Ella Mai doesn’t miss. We caught up with the Billboard winner’s makeup artist, Emily Chen to learn how to get the singer’s signature look just in time for the weekend. Check it out.

Prep

Start by applying Revlon’s PhotoReady Rose Glow Primer ($14) all over but avoiding the t- zone.

Correct and Cover

Ella’s got incredible skin so using Revlon’s PhotoReady Candid Foundation ($6) sheered out, is great for areas that need a bit of extra coverage. The product builds really nicely without ever looking heavy.

Color

For a flush of color, tap on a minimal amount of Revlon Cheek Flushing Tint in Starstruck ($9) onto the apples of the cheek and buff out with a blush brush.

Eyes

Lips

Finally, apply Revlon Ultra HD Hyper Matte Lip Mousse in Red Hot ($8). Buff it in and around the edges with the wand fully wiped off so that there is not excess product that could smudge your sculpted lipline.
