Sistas<\/em> castmates Tunde Oyeneyin and Jordan Coleman arrived at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards with matching energy and a shared philosophy on getting red-carpet ready even when the invite comes together fast. \u201cWe didn\u2019t really know we were coming here, but here we are,\u201d Coleman laughed, referring to their last-minute plans.<\/p>\n Ahead, the castmates share the skin-care habits they swear by on set, how they prepped for the VMAs and what they do when the makeup comes off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For Coleman, staying camera-ready is a year-round commitment. \u201cI go to Skin Laundry every single month, no matter what,\u201d she shared. \u201cI have a subscription, and I\u2019ve been going for like a year.\u201d It\u2019s the habit behind her signature line of the night, one Oyeneyin quoted right back at her: \u201cIf you stay ready, you don\u2019t have to get ready. That\u2019s my motto,\u201d Coleman confirmed.<\/p>\n Oyeneyin\u2019s approach leaned more last-minute but no less deliberate. \u201cI\u2019m a big believer in a sauna,\u201d she said. \u201cI love a sauna with an infrared moment. I saunaed the last few days, and I intended to do the facial thing, but completely ran out of time. I did a mask yesterday, and I hoped for the best!\u201d<\/p>\n Both women agreed on one skin-care rule during a shoot: Stick with what you know. <\/strong>\u201cMy biggest thing is don\u2019t change anything,\u201d Coleman said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re getting ready for something, or you\u2019re about to shoot a show, do the same thing you\u2019ve been doing.\u201d Oyeneyin jumped in with the corollary: \u201cDon\u2019t try a new skin-care product!\u201d Coleman\u2019s rule of thumb: \u201cIf it works, it works. Don\u2019t go do the brand-new facial that you\u2019ve never done before. That\u2019s how you irritate your skin, and you can be working with things you don\u2019t know how to deal with.\u201d<\/p>\n For Oyeneyin, the one product she won\u2019t shoot a scene without is an eye mask. \u201cI\u2019m a big fan of Peter Thomas Roth, the under-eye heavenly moment,\u201d she said. \u201cThen Medicube makes these masks I get it off Amazon. It\u2019s four masks for $18. I\u2019ve spent hundreds of dollars on this single-use one mask. This, hands down, is my favorite mask on the planet. I do that every single morning. Especially on set, it\u2019s long, crazy hours. The skin is tired, so that helps me look and feel my best.\u201d<\/p>\n While plenty of VMAs guests were headed to after-parties, Oyeneyin had a flight to catch. \u201cI will be on a plane at 9:30, so I will probably change in the car, and then have whatever pizza they have at the airport; I\u2019ll probably be starving,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n Her in-flight skin care is as dialed in as her red-carpet prep: \u201cPerfect airplane clutch moment is 4AM Skin. They have a towel packet, and you can take off your entire face with just one face mask. On the plane, I always have my 4AM Clean Sheets ($23) and then my La Mer moisturizer.\u201d <\/p>\n Coleman knows the feeling of leaving an event and wanting the makeup off immediately. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of times where you\u2019re leaving an event and you\u2019re like, I wish I could take all of this makeup off right now!\u201d she said. Once home, she sticks to her usual routine: \u201cI use my Clinique Take the Day Off ($44). Then I go over it with my Youth to the People face wash, put on my hyaluronic acid, put on my Egyptian Magic, and call it a day. My eye mask, and I\u2019m out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe pre-show prep: Consistency over panic<\/h2>\n
On set, the rule is: Don\u2019t experiment<\/h2>\n
