Blake Lively Reveals Gen Z Makeup Trick Behind CFDA Look

As a fellow beauty enthusiast who has gone through the agonizing phase of using chili peppers to plump my lips (and regrettably still occasionally find myself reaching for that bottle of cayenne pepper lip gloss), I wholeheartedly empathize with Blake Lively‘s millennial struggle. The fact that she, a certified beauty icon, has not only embraced but championed new trends and encouraged others to experiment with confidence, makes her all the more admirable in my eyes.


If there’s one secret Blake Lively will always tell, it’s a go-to makeup hack.

The actress who starred in “It Ends With Us” graced the CFDA Fashion Awards again after a decade, appearing on October 28th. She wore a stunning white Michael Kors gown adorned with diamonds and a matching coat. During the event, she couldn’t help but express her admiration for Carolina Gonzalez‘s outstanding makeup artistry. In addition, she shared some insights about the less effective techniques she had tried in the past to create a similar effect.

Blake, aged 37, went on to say, “After removing my makeup, I acknowledge that I’m a millennial who, back in high school, would apply an excessive amount of lip gloss containing chili peppers for a fuller look. We were truly dedicated to the wrong ideas.

Rather than relying on hot peppers for fuller lips, which was popular among millennials, Gen Z has discovered a new method: they use eyeshadow instead of lip liner to highlight their lip contour.

Blake, who is the mother of James (age 9), Betty (7), Inez (4), and 19-month-old Olin with husband Ryan Reynolds, expressed her gratitude for having moved past the stage in her life characterized by chili lips.

As it turns out, eyeshadow is significantly less uncomfortable compared to Carolina Reapers. I’m grateful to @cgonzalezbeauty for avoiding a Hot Ones-like experience on my face.

In a role model capacity, Blake, being an accredited beauty trendsetter, seldom hesitates to embrace novel fads. Instead, he inspires others to experiment boldly and confidently with these fresh ideas.

In the December 2013 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she stated that whether it concerns fashion or beauty, if you don’t feel at ease wearing something, your confidence will falter, making the entire look less effective. However, when you wear an item confidently, you exude a sense of style and self-expression.
