Ashley Graham was one of the chosen few Met Gala red carpet correspondents this year, hand-selected to interview the star-studded enclave of guests on arrival.
Although she was technically working, that didn’t stop Ashley from turning a look in Ludovic de Saint Sernin. The model paired her cinched waist and piecey baby bangs with a radiant visage crafted by makeup artist Ivan Núñez.
“The inspiration behind Ashley Graham’s makeup look was a collaborative effort between both me and Ashley,” Ivan explained via Instagram.
“We wanted ethereal glowing skin with glossy lips and lids to mimic her striking chainmail dress,” he went on to say. “We enhanced her natural features with luminescent tones while also adding hints of darkness and edge.”
The best part? Ivan managed to achieve all of the above using a full face of budget-friendly makeup products from Revlon.

The exact makeup products Ashley Graham wore to the 2024 Met Gala
To enhance Ashley’s sun-kissed complexion, Ivan used a combination of lightweight base products and glow-enhancing cheek products.
First, he buffed the Revlon Illuminance Serum Tint in ‘Hazel’ ($15.29 from Amazon Australia) into her skin to gently unify everything, then he used the Revlon ColorStay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer in ‘Light Beige 025’ ($26.95 from Priceline) to cover any shadows or blemishes.
Next, the makeup artist layered the Revlon Illuminance Gel Serum Blush in ‘Beaming Coral’ ($16.69 from Chemist Warehouse) and the Revlon Powder Blush in ‘Naughty Nude’ ($16.69 from Chemist Warehouse) onto Ashley’s cheeks for a natural flush of colour. He followed this with a healthy swathe of the Revlon SkinLights Prismatic Bronzer in ‘Sunlit Glow’ ($11.95 from Cosmetic Capital) and a light misting of the Revlon PhotoReady Rose Glow Face Mist ($24.95 from Amazon Australia) to maximise the dewy finish of the makeup.
As for the eye makeup, Ivan used a trio of coloured cosmetics to create a subtle, bronze smokey eye; Revlon’s ColorStay Multiplayer Liquid-Glide Eye Pencil in ‘Checkmate’ ($9.79 from Amazon Australia) and Revlon’s ColorStay Crème Eye Shadow in ‘Cognac’ ($8.95 from Cosmetic Capital) and ‘Vanilla’ ($9.99 from Chemist Warehouse). Then the makeup artist applied a few coats of Revlon ColorStay Xtensionnaire Mascara ($14.99 from Chemist Warehouse) and whispy, whimsical individual lashes to complete the eye look.
To finish, Ivan manicured Ashley’s brows with the Revlon ColorStay Micro Brow Pencil in ‘Medium Brown’ ($14.39 from Chemist Warehouse) and coated the model’s pout in a combination of Revlon’s Super Lustrous The Gloss in ‘Sandstorm’ ($33.97 from Amazon Australia) and ‘Snow Pink’ ($15.39 from Chemist Warehouse).

What was your favourite Met Gala look?
I use Revlon products, great value for money
Revlon have been around forever and know their stuff!
My favourite Met Gala look was JLo.
Always loved Revlon makeup, I worked on counter for them 30 years ago at Grace Bros. Wonderful products and always on trend.
Wow Grace Bros. that is a long time ago. I remember them
Yes Revlon knows it;’s stuff.
That is a long history.
Makes sense since she works with Revlon
My fave was Sarah Jessica Parker.
I’m not a fan of the dewy look: her skin looks greasy & sweaty to me.
Yes a little too dewy
Demi Moore was my favourite.
A little too dewy but good for her
Revlon is a go to for me
I am glad Revlon is having a bit of a come back.
Yes and not overpriced.
I have most of those Revlon products. I love the Illuminance Serum Tint.
She is a Revlon ambassador so no surprise there. Revlon is producing some great products though.
They have some lovely new skin foundations too
I have no idea who she is but she is really rocking that dress
I love Revlon, but in this case I think her makeup looks a little overdone.
I haven’t heard of either of them but it’s good to see less expensive brands used well
This is not a look that really appeals to me.
Does she work for Revlon, lol
I’ve jusr bout a Revlon BB cream to try.
Not a bad speller, just the site🤣
I love revlon lip and nail products.
I didnt have any favourite looks this year
