Country superstar Kelsea Ballerini was giving glowy golden goddess at the 2026 Academy of Country Music Awards thanks, in part, to her go-to MUA, Kelsey Deenihan.
Deenihan says, “For Kelsea’s look, we wanted the glam to feel soft, effortless, and a little sultry with fluttery definition that still photographed beautifully from every angle.” After prepping Ballerini’s skin with Rodan + Fields skincare and applying her signature glam, Deenihan opted for FlutterHabbit lashes to complete the look.

Get the Lashes:
- “The FlutterHabit Dreamer Brown lashes ($34.99) were perfect because they added that wispy, eye opening effect without feeling too heavy or harsh on camera. I also love that they keep their lift and shape over time instead of sagging down like a lot of lashes tend to do. The brown tone keeps the lash looking softer and more natural than a traditional black lash, which worked so well with the warm, romantic makeup look.
- I focused the rest of the eye makeup around enhancing the lashes rather than overpowering them. Soft diffused shadows, subtle liner, and lots of dimension at the lash line helped everything melt together seamlessly. What I love about the Dreamer style is that it gives fullness and lift while still letting the eyes feel fresh and pretty instead of overly dramatic. They photograph beautifully and give that your lashes but better’ effect that’s always the goal for red carpet glam.”
