Lizzo just wrapped the U.S. leg of her Special Tour, and now her makeup artist Alexx Mayo is sharing the iconic department store brand he used to give Lizzo her superstar glam.
Mayo used a trio of products from Clinique, the popular skincare, makeup and fragrance brand that’s celebrating its 55th anniversary this year. Now part of Estée Lauder Companies, Clinique is known for its face-flattering makeup and skincare products for all skin tones and sensitivities. (The department store brand partnered with Mayo for Lizzo’s U.S. tour alongside Ardell, which is sponsoring the four-time Grammy winner’s lash looks.)

For Lizzo, Mayo used Clinique’s Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation each night to prep her skin and create a glowing complexion. On sale for just $24 right now on Amazon (a 40 percent discount), the Clinique foundation features a semi-matte finish and an oil-free formula to create even and lightweight coverage.

Clinique Even Better Clinical Serum Liquid Foundation SPF 25 With Vitamin C, Salicylic Acid + Hyaluronic Acid For Combination to Oily Skin Types | Full Coverage + Matte Finish, Beige, 1 Fl Oz $39.00 on Amazon.com
Clinique says its Even Better Clinical Foundation uses a combination of hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C and UP302 (the brand’s famous dark spot-fighting molecule) to leave skin looking healthier, smoother and more hydrated. While Lizzo used the foundation for her concert look, Clinique’s formula has SPF 25 built-in, so it’s safe for everyday wear outdoors too.
After prepping Lizzo’s skin with the foundation, Mayo used Clinique’s Even Better All-Over Concealer Stick as a highlighter under Lizzo’s eyes, cheeks, forehead and nose. Mayo notes that the concealer stick also “doubled as a contouring tool” in a pinch.
The so-called Concealer + Eraser also works to hide blemishes, brighten dark spots and blur imperfections. Sephora and Ulta have the concealer stick on sale for $30 right now, available in more than 50 skin-matching shades.

As for Lizzo’s lipstick of choice? Mayo says the beauty icon eschews a regular lipstick in favor of getting “soft pouty lips” with Clinique’s Quickliner for Lips. Lizzo’s favorite lipliner shade: Chocolate Chip.
