On July 6, Zendaya attended the movie premiere for The Odyssey at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London. In the film, Zendaya plays Athena, a literal Greek goddess who guides Odysseus with her wisdom—and she stayed in character for her red carpet appearance with a look that felt ethereal from head to toe.
It’s clear that Zendaya’s makeup team understood the assignment with the look she was going for. Her makeup artist Ernesto Casillas did an excellent job playing up her natural features, and her skin looked so glowy and radiant that I deemed it one of my favorite makeup looks on the actress.
Luckily, Casillas doesn’t gatekeep, and he shared all the details on Zendaya’s look in an Instagram post. The one item that stood out: Charlotte Tilbury’s Unreal Highlighter, and it definitely explains the glow. We love the easy application—it comes as a stick you can glide on your skin. It comes in one universal shade called Glazed Goddess (coincidence much?).
And it happens to be on sale today at 15% off.
Here at Good Housekeeping, our pros at the Beauty & Personal Care Lab are fans of Charlotte Tilbury products. In fact, we’ve named the brand in various makeup roundups and even gave its Beautiful Skin Foundation a Beauty Award in 2022. Plus, Contributing Writer Chloé Valentine included the Unreal Healthy Glow Blush Stick in a list of her personal favorite accessible beauty products, and it botots nearly identical packaging and application as the Unreal Highlighter.
As someone who’s guilty of smothering her face with glazing milk and shimmery facial mists, I’m going to take Casillas’ tip and check out this highlighter. I can already imagine it being a lifesaver on days when my skin feels extra dull and I don’t feel like wearing makeup. Just two swipes, and done!
