All eyes were on SZA as she took home the award for Best R&B Song for her song “Saturn.” Charlotte Tilbury teamed up with Celebrity MUA Deanna Paley (@deelishdeanna) for the 2025 Grammy Awards. Deanna describes how she was able to capture SZA’s features and fashion, saying “ I wanted to create a look to compliment her beautiful dress & gorgeous burgundy locks. I used Charlotte Tilbury Skin and Makeup to get the look.” Detailed in her Instagram post, Deanna dropped the products used to make SZA shine.
In her post, Deanna says “Her look was all about a glowing, perfectly primed base and flawless airbrushed skin. We opted for shades that complement her beautiful burgundy locks for a look that is timeless and chic with some sparkle to match her energy and dress.
