Ariana Grande Relies On These 15 Makeup Products For Her Signature ’60s Cat Eye (2024)

Foundation

Ariana starts her makeup routine with the Sweetener Foundation in shade Light 8 NW, which is a light to medium color with neutral warm undertones. Available in 60 shades and offering a natural matte finish, the liquid foundation utilizes r.e.m. beauty’s hydrasmooth essence with raspberry leaf extract and hyaluronic acid spheres. In addition to these skin-loving ingredients, niacinamide brightens the complexion.

Concealer

The singer brightens her under-eyes with the help of the Sweetener Concealer in the shade, Light 4 G. It offers buildable, medium-to-full coverage and a soft, matte finish. Whether you need to contour, carve, brighten, highlight, or conceal, this multifunctional formula has you covered.

Setting Powder

“I like to set pretty quickly after I apply. I just try to make sure that nothing could possibly move,” Ari explains in the video. You can see her bake her under eyes with this super-fine, lightweight, mattifying setting powder in the shade, Vanilla.

Brow Pencil

Ariana explains in the YouTube GRWM video, “I like to make the ends really short and kind of shave them and ruin them and then draw the shape I like, which is more of a like kind of straight and lifted Audrey Hepburn-ish shaped brow.” If you’ve been wondering how to get your brows to stay put, this MAC pencil wears for up to 12 hours and is humidity- and sweat-resistant, as well as smudge-proof and water-resistant.

Contour

Ari’s face never fails to look super sculpted. What’s her secret weapon for contouring? Just this blendable, buildable Danessa Myricks balm. She applies the product onto the usual places, like the forehead, cheeks, and jawline. Most importantly, her trick to a button-nose look is dabbing the balm onto the bottom of the bridge of her nose and underneath the tip to create shadows.

Highlighter

To complete her button-nose look, Ariana adds a dot of this absolutely stunning powder highlighter from r.e.m. beauty. She opts for the warm champagne Miss Mercury shade.

Eyeshadow

The singer’s beat always manages to appear bright and fresh, which makes sense because she swipes a light pink shade from a Bobbi Brown eyeshadow palette all over her lid. She then goes in with two dark shades to create a shadowy version of a cat eye (instead of a liquid liner cat eye). While the Rosey Nudes version of this palette isn’t the exact one she uses in the video, it’s the closest option available and still includes pretty pink and dark shades.

To finish her cat eye look, Ari draws onto her lid with the r.e.m. beauty Multi-Use Eye Stick. “One of my favorite things to do is to create like a ’60s-looking cat eye and I’m going to use our Multi-Use Eye Stick in Intergalactic,” she says in the video.

Blush

Ariana is no stranger to viral makeup products, and one such example is this Dior powder blush in 001 Pink. It turns out Hailey Bieber is also a fan of this luxe product that gives your cheeks a light, rosy, glowy flush. And interestingly enough, the singer not only swipes this product onto her cheeks but also over her eyebrows.

Mascara

Do your makeup routine a favor and cop a mascara that can volumize and lift your eyelashes and coat every lash hair with a flake-free formula.

Lip Products

On top of dusting blush to her brows, Ari has another unique makeup application hack. First, she coats her entire pout with r.e.m. beauty’s lip stain marker. Next, she glides Lancôme’s Juicy Tubes Lip Gloss over top and then wipes it all off and uses r.e.m. beauty’s On Your Collar Plumping Lip Gloss in Pink Razor.

Hailey Bieber gave her stamp of approval to one of r.e.m. beauty’s liquid eyeshadows in a different GRWM video, so to return the favor, Ariana shouted out rhode’s Peptide Lip Treatment in her Vogue Beauty Secrets video. She raves, “I love this lip mask, it’s so good. This is the Watermelon, but I think the Birthday Cake is my favorite.”

Eyeliner

Although Ari intentionally created a cat eye with shadow instead of liner, she decided in the video to emphasize the flick even more. She does this with the help of Charlotte Tilbury’s Rock ‘N’ Kohl Eyeliner Pencil, which is waterproof and stays in place for up to 14 hours.
