As usual, Zendaya continues to captivate everyone through her signature method dressing. During the countdown to the official release of The Odyssey, Zendaya has captured the spotlight in a series of spectacular dresses that nod to her character, the Greek goddess Athena. And while makeup is always an essential part of a look, it rarely takes center stage in a celebrity’s red carpet style like it did during the film’s premiere in New York.
On this occasion, the internet has done justice to the work of her go-to makeup artist, Ernesto Casillas, who created a “sunkissed makeup” look that has already gone viral on Instagram, TikTok, and even Substack.
“The look is very minimal; it’s almost no-makeup makeup, but the emphasis was on the sun-kissed look. [It’s a] very blushy look across the cheek, the nose, the temples—a lot of glow, a lot of hydration,” Casillas said in an Instagram tutorial.
Casillas also spoke with Vogue Mexico and Latin America, revealing the keys to achieving a sun-kissed makeup effect this summer.

Steps to achieve a sun-kissed makeup look:
- The first step is to start with skincare and hydration to achieve a radiant glow. Use the moisturizer that works best for your skin type and allow time for it to absorb and set. (Ernesto Casillas used Prada Beauty skincare products.)
- Mix your foundation with the serum for a less matte finish and apply it to your face with a makeup sponge. Apply it only where you feel you need more coverage, but keep it very natural.
