Ariana Grande Did Her Own Makeup for the "Boy Is Mine" Music Video

We have the full breakdown.

Ariana Grande is having a year—she attended the Met Gala in May, her Wicked movie comes out in November, and she dropped her newest album, Eternal Sunshine this spring. In the midst of it all, she remains a beauty and style icon—you'd recognize her signature winged liner anywhere. Speaking of, the singer transformed her blonde hair into a dark bob for the music video for her latest single "The Boy Is Mine," leaving us to wonder if it was a permanent change. In a YouTube video released by r.e.m. beauty on June 11, Grande revealed two things: Her extreme hair change was, in fact, a wig, and she shared every product she used for her music video glam.

Having the confidence (and prowess) to do your own makeup for your music video is a flex, and Grande just flexed us on all. There are two looks she created for the video. One she coined "Cozy At-Home Peaches," (and in case you weren't familiar, Peaches is her album's alter-ego), and "Peaches Cat Women," who wears a dark cat-suit and traps Penn Badgley's character in the video. "When your alter ego has an alter ego, it's time to see a therapist," she joked.

The base layer is the same for both looks. The r.e.m. beauty founder starts with the brand's Sweetener Foundation and Sweetener Concealer, blending the foundation across her complexion and highlighting and spot-concealing with the concealer. Next, she contoured her cheeks with the Hypernova Satin Matte Bronzer in the shade Cocoa-Nut. She finished off her base by adding the Interstellar Highlighter Topper in Miss Mecury to the tip of her nose.

For eyes, she used the Midnight Shadows eyeshadow palette in Midnight Snack, which has shimmery blue and cool shades, and Babydoll, which has warm tan and brown shades. First, she swiped the white eyeshadow shade from Babydoll all over her lid. She deepened the look by applying the two reddish tan shades from the same palette and blending them into her crease. The finishing touch was her winged eyeliner, which she created with the black shimmery shade from Midnight Snack.

She applied the Flourishing Lengthening Mascara to her lashes, added the Eternally Meowing faux lashes, and darkened her eyeliner with At The Borderline Eyeliner to complete her eye look.

To get her custom lip look, she mixed three lip glosses. To start, she lined and filled in her lips with the Practically Permanent Lipstain Marker in Booked and Busy, a berry wine shade. Next, she applied three On Your Collar plumping lip glosses, layering Pink Razor, Jelly Sandals and Skinny Dripped to create a frosty pink lip look. She melted all the makeup together with a layer of Mist Thing Setting Spray for a hydrated finish.

For the second look, she simply darkened up her crease with the same reddish brown shades and exaggerated her eyeliner with more black liquid liner. She added a pop of sparkle to the liner, topping it with mini black rhinestones. Last but not least, she swiped on a pink Glossy Balm in the shade Strawberry Soda. After that, she transformed into her alter-ego's alter-ego with a flippy brown wig that stopped just before her shoulders.
