It’s nearly impossible to talk about Christina Aguilera’s makeup without resorting to a song-title pun of some sort. C’mon—“Beautiful”? “Reflection”? It’s almost too easy. But we’ll spare you the word play and instead tell you about something that may be a little less obvious: How celebrity makeup artist Etienne Ortega kept Christina's stunning matte-meets-glowy look from melting off during her powerhouse set at the Lovers + Friends Festival in Las Vegas. From there, he used four different sticks: Sculpt Stickin Stoked for cool-toned contour to add depth and dimension, Matte Bronzerin Baked for natural-looking, no-sparkle warmth, Lip + Cheekin Werk—a dusty rose—for a monochromatic look, and Highlighterin Turnt for the kind of glow you can practically feel even from the back row of the venue. |

And, of course, he topped off Christina’s look with Hydro Grip Set + Refresh Spray to ensure hydrating hold. “Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grip Primer and Setting Spray were essential in creating a look that would last all through the night,” he says. It was essentially a Hydro Grip sandwich.
But those weren’t the only products with serious holding power that Etienne used for Christina’s unfaltering Lovers + Friends Festival makeup. He got early access to Milk Makeup’s new RISE Waterproof Mascara, which holds curl like nobody’s business. In addition to lifting, lengthening, and adding just the right amount of subtle volume, the clump- and flake-free formula refuses to smudge and simply cannot be bothered by tears, sweat—all things wet.
“I got to test and use the upcoming launch for Milk Makeup… the RISE Waterproof Mascara, launching on May 12 on milkmakeup.com,” Etienne shared with his Instagram followers. “Just as good as the OG RISE Mascara, but even more long-wearing and perfect for stage.” Needless to say, it’s ideal offstage, too, thanks to all-day definition—not to mention monoi oil and marigold extract that help condition and strengthen your lashes each time you wear it.
If these products can ensure Christina’s look lasts through singing her heart out while wearing leather in Las Vegas, they can definitely keep your makeup looking fresh all day, too.
