Bowen Yang’s movie star moment is here. The “Wicked For Good” actor hit the New York City premiere with radiant, glowing skin courtesy of celebrity makeup artist Evy Drew.
The secret to his flawless skin wasn’t co-star Ariana Grande’s r.e.m. beauty, either. It was all thanks to Paula’s Choice. Drew created a fresh, glowing and completely Oz-ready look using a lineup of the brand’s most iconic products, including the cult-favorite 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner Pads, Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Moisturizer, Pro-Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm, new Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum, and finally, Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA.
Drew tells The Tease, “As I prepared to work with Bowen Yang for [the] Wicked: For Good premiere, I found myself reaching for Paula’s Choice Skincare. Inspired by the luminous aesthetic of Paula’s Choice, I wanted Bowen to look every bit as magical as the world of Wicked itself.” Read on for a breakdown on how Drew prepped Yang for the green carpet.
Get the look: Skin Prep
- “I began by sweeping Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner Pads gently across Bowen’s T-zone. They’re my go-to for creating a clean, smooth canvas. Perfect for a high-definition red carpet moment.
- Next, I massaged in the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Moisturizer. It gives the skin that subtle, buoyant texture that catches the light the right way. Bowen’s complexion instantly looks refreshed and hydrated.
- To keep his eyes looking fresh in the city that never sleeps, I tapped on Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum, this step was nonnegotiable and the difference was noticeable.
- In this cold, dry weather I’m reaching for Pro-Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm Treatment. The moisture is incredible, and the soft natural pink tint felt like the perfect nod to Glinda’s signature shimmer.
- Finally, I smoothed Paula’s Choice Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA onto Bowen’s arms and hands. It leaves the skin silky without heaviness.”
