It comes as no surprise when Zendaya shows up on a red carpet in a jaw-dropping look—and her look at the London premiere of The Odyssey was no exception. While her fresh-off-the-runway sculptural white Schiaparelli gown immediately captured attention, her bronzed, radiant makeup perfectly complemented—and completed—the Greek goddess-inspired look.
Created by celebrity makeup artist Ernesto Casillas using all Charlotte Tilbury products, the look took inspiration from the film’s roots in Greek mythology. “I wanted to give Zendaya a bronzed, sun-kissed and radiant complexion worthy of a glowing Greek goddess,” Casillas said in a statement.
And that he did. The hero product behind her luminous skin was Charlotte Tilbury’s new Unreal Highlighter Fresh, Healthy Glow Stick ($44) in the universal Glazed Goddess shade. It’s designed to create a soft-focus, dewy glow and comes in a balm-like stick format. The highlighter glides easily onto skin for a blurred, lit-from-within finish that’s just as wearable for everyday makeup as it is for a Hollywood red carpet.
Casillas broke down the rest of the look, too. “For the eyes, I created light, mesmerizing eyes to echo the ethereal elegance of the dress.” That bright, frosty inner-eye makeup immediately draws you in—beyond a red carpet look, it’s a must-have summer makeup moment that’s surprisingly easy to recreate at home.
Want to DIY Zendaya’s makeup and get the same look yourself? Simply follow these steps—it’s easier than you might think. First, to build Zendaya’s glowing complexion, Casillas layered Charlotte’s Magic Cream ($69) and Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir ($85) as skin prep. Then, for the base, she wore Beautiful Skin Foundation ($52), Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer ($36) and Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder ($50).
Her sculpted cheeks came courtesy of Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer ($59), Beauty Light Wand in Pillow Talk ($44), Cheek to Chic in Pillow Talk Deep ($43) and the new Unreal Highlighter Fresh, Healthy Glow Stick ($44) in Glazed Goddess.
For the eyes, Casillas reached for the Exagger-Eyes Easy Eyeshadow Sticks ($32), using shades Nude Sculpt, Mink Sculpt and Satin Diamonds to create that goddess-like glow, and finished the eye makeup with Exagger-Eyes Volume Mascara ($29).
On her lips, she wore Lip Cheat Contour Duo ($28) in Tan/Medium, Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm ($37) and Collagen Lip Bath in Refresh Rose ($37), and Casillas finished off the whole look with the cult-favorite Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray ($39).
Plus, some extra good news: Several of the products you need to recreate Zendaya’s makeup look at home are currently on sale for Charlotte Tilbury’s annual Summer Sale, including Beauty Light Wand, Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray and Magic Cream.
