One of the beauty looks that immediately caught my attention this week was Zendaya’s appearance at The Odyssey New York premiere. Ethereal, goddess-like, and naturally sun-kissed. The look was created by her longtime makeup artist, Ernesto Casillas, using just a few Prada Beauty products.
Rather than relying on contour, Casillas used blush to create dimension. He first applied Prada Touch Blush in Caffè, a warm mocha brown, across the cheeks, nose, forehead, temples, and chin to mimic the warmth of naturally sun-kissed skin. He then layered Prada Touch Blush in Cherry onto the apples of the cheeks, adding vibrancy over the warmth of Caffè to create that fresh, radiant complexion.
One of my favorite details is that he didn’t stop at the cheeks. Casillas also tapped both blush shades onto the lips, finishing the look with Prada Balm in Astral Pink for a hydrated, softly diffused finish that tied everything together.

I recreated this look on my Instagram using the same technique. Since I don’t own Cherry, I used Peach instead to recreate the same vibrant effect layered over the warmth of Caffè.
