Miley Cyrus’s Luminous Complexion Is Thanks to This Taylor Swift-Used Concealer

Miley Cyrus, a newly minted Grammy winner as of last night’s awards, also sported my favorite red carpet beauty look of the night. Specifically, her complexion looked almost impossibly ethereal, and I’m eager to recreate the look. After a bit of sleuthing, I’ve discovered the exact products responsible for the singer’s fresh-faced glow — and both are available to shop in a few clicks at Nordstrom.

Cyrus donned two complexion products from Pat McGrath — the makeup mogul behind Taylor Swift’s dazzling Bejeweled beauty look, among countless other iconic beauty moments. Specifically, the brand’s Skin Fetish Concealer — one of Cyrus’s makeup must-haves. (Just last year, she shared that she has a “lifetime supply” of the product.) To complete the look, Cyrus wore the corresponding Skin Fetish Foundation — a red-carpet go-to for Kaia Gerber, Emily Ratajkowski, and Tracee Ellis Ross in the past, per the brand.

The Pat McGrath Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection Concealer is a lightweight, buildable liquid coverup that melts into skin for a brightening, traceless finish. Housed in a tube and applied via a doe-foot applicator, it swipes seamlessly under eyes, where it brightens shadows. The formula also camouflages redness, blemishes, and other imperfections. Despite its lightweight skin feel, the layerable formula can be built up to provide opaque coverage; plus, it remains intact, sans creasing or caking, throughout the day.

The corresponding Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection Foundation offers similarly seamless, budge-proof wear, and a breathable feel on the skin. As Cyrus evidenced, the formula creates an almost filter-like veil that perfects without appearing makeup-y or masklike.

Makeup artist James Kaliardos, who has worked with stars like Charlize Theron, and created Cyrus’s Grammys look, wanted her to “glow like a golden goddess,” per a press release. “Miley and I collaborated on her skin,” he shared, and aimed for a “fresh faced look.” (Incidentally, celebrity tanning artist and founder of Dolce Glow, Isabel Alysa Vita, created Cyrus’s full-body faux glow; shop the brand’s tanning foam for a similar effect.)

In creating Cyrus’s radiant complexion, Kaliardos first applied the Skin Fetish Concealer in the shade Light 4, sweeping it beneath the eyes for a brightening effect, and “high on the cheek bones” for a lifted look. Next, Kaliardos employed foundation, in the same shade, with a light-handed touch, “to reveal her naturally gorgeous skin.”
