These 15 Beauty Products Were Pivotal in Turning Halle Bailey Into Ariel
As a beauty editor, I've got blushes and foundations aplenty. I've got eye shadows and moisturizers galore. You want lip liners? I've got 20! But when Halle Bailey's makeup artist spills the exact products she used on the Little Mermaid set, I'm buying more.
Yes, that's right—Bailey's makeup artist, Kat Ali, took to Instagram to share every single makeup product that she used on set to transform Bailey into Ariel. In a soon-to-go-viral post, Ali said that some people have been so desperate for the product breakdown that they've even been offering their limbs (though in the spirit of the movie, their voices might be a better trade) to find out exactly what Ali put on Bailey's face.
Don't worry—Ali is no gatekeeper. She shared all 15 products that were on heavy rotation throughout filming. Keep reading to find every product you need to be part of Bailey's world. (Okay, I'm done now.)
If they were shooting outside, Ali protected Bailey's skin with this invisible sunscreen.
Weleda Skin Food will always be a makeup-artist staple, and Ali used it on Bailey's body for that ethereal mermaid glow.
This setting spray protected Bailey's skin from the sun while it froze her makeup in place.
This foundation can be used all over for even, glowing skin.
The Tom Ford cream shadow that Ali used as a base might be out of stock, but this limited-edition palette is still available. Ali used a mixture of the top right and bottom left all over Bailey's eyelid, then used the top left color as a spotlight color in the middle of the lid and finished with the bottom right color to define the outer corners.
Ali reached for this blendable berry shade to add color to Bailey's cheeks.
This lipstick gave Bailey the perfect nude lip.
