Behind every great celebrity is a team of talented hairstylists, nail techs, and makeup artists who help get their clients ready for red carpets, photo shoots, and even everyday outings. Sometimes, though, these celebrities are required to take matters into their own hands if their team is not around — but some are skilled enough in the beauty department that it doesn’t make much of a difference. Take Megan Thee Stallion, for instance, who has had a hand in her own makeup looks more than a few times.
In fact, the rapper did her own makeup for the “WAP” music video, in which she wore a gorgeous golden smoky eye with burgundy accents. The Houston rapper tells Allure that she only lets a small group of makeup artists touch her face. “I actually haven’t worked with a lot of makeup artists because I don’t like when people do my makeup besides myself,” she shares via a Zoom call. “But in 2020, I started getting comfortable with people doing my full face — like Priscilla [Ono] and my other makeup artist, Lauren.”
Ono did Thee Stallion’s makeup for the 2021 Grammy Awards.
