Here’s How Rita Ora Does Her Day-to-Night Bombshell Beauty Look

“When the sun comes down, that’s when the animal comes out,” teases Rita Ora. Inside her whitewashed room at The Bowery Hotel, the 26-year-old songstress transforms her daytime beauty look—toffee-smoked eyes, bare lips, and tousled curls—for a night out in New York City.

The “Your Song” singer begins by giving her skin a quick scan. “You have to, like, evaluate what’s happened to your face during the day,” she says. To refresh her glow, she sprays on a hydrating mist, then bounces a Beautyblender along the planes of her face to ensure her foundation is deftly blended. Further exaggerating her cheekbones, she gives the apples a quick dusting with contour powder, then uses Tom Ford’s Illuminating Powder Duo to strobe all over, including the Cupid’s bow of her mouth.

Opening up her gaze, Ora traces on flicks of liquid liner and swipes mascara on the upper and lower lashes, using a brush to smooth out unwanted clumps. And then it’s time for her signature bright red lip, which she maps out with Rimmel’s Exaggerate Full Color Lip Liner in Red Diva and fills in with Stay Matte Liquid Lip Color in Fire Starter. Finally, she fluffs out her ringlets, then flips her head and blasts the roots of her hair with dry shampoo for extra volume.

And then? “You feel like a whole other woman,” says Ora as she serves face before blowing herself a kiss goodbye. “Give yourself a little look, tell yourself you’re fantastic, and then you’re ready to roll.”
