"Anyone who named this is really something else": Cardi B on the Skin Tint that Editors Rave About for All-Day Glamour.
This week, Cardi B has plenty of thrilling news to share: her first tour in six years, the arrival of her fourth child (her first with NFL receiver Stefon Diggs), and her admiration for a skin tint adored by editors. In case you missed it, the Grammy-winning rapper announced the highly-anticipated tour during Tuesday's episode of Today With Jenna & Friends, just days before the release of her new album, Am I the Drama?, dropping this Friday. She also shared a cover on Instagram detailing all 30 cities included in the tour. On this cover, Cardi’s look features over-the-top lashes, platinum hair, and a long-lasting base she claims "matches perfectly with [her] skin."
After watching an exclusive GRWM (Get Ready With Me) video from Cardi B, I can confirm she is referring to Milk Makeup's Hydro Grip Gel Skin Tint. Every editor I know raves about the desirably long-wearing and lightweight nature of this formula, so it’s no surprise that Cardi is a big fan. However, she does raise an eyebrow at its name. "It sounds like my… Whoever named this is very freaky," she jokes. While she isn’t wrong, this skin tint is certainly one to have in your makeup collection.
The weightless gel features a light, whipped texture (probably due to the generous amount of hyaluronic acid in the formula), making it feel virtually nonexistent on the skin. In fact, the last time I wore it, I completely forgot I had makeup on. Yet, it builds beautifully, achieving a lovely medium coverage that lasts impeccably for over 12 hours—ideal for long days on set if you’re Cardi or a busy workday for someone like me. “[It's a] dewy one too... very lightweight,” the rapper notes (she wears shade number 9). If you're already acquainted with Milk Makeup's oil- and silicone-free Hydro Grip Primer (a favorite among editors!), you know how well it absorbs into the skin, sets, and provides a silky finish for foundation—without any creases. This skin tint shares those same qualities, meaning you could potentially use it without primer and still achieve a flawless look. However, using both products together enhances their benefits, as evidenced by Cardi, whose smooth skin practically glows from the screen.
