Michaela Jaé Rodriguez just added another feather to her supremely glamorous cap: Charlotte Tilbury named the Pose star the brand’s newest — and first American — muse.
On Instagram, Rodriguez wrote, “I am truly honored to join the Tilbury family not only because I’ve been a huge fan of her products for years (hello desert island must haves Magic Cream, Magic Serum and Peachgasm Beauty Light Wand!!!) but because of the incredible purpose work Charlotte does, using her platform for good. She’s on a mission to not only empower and confidence-boost through her products, but also to DO GOOD in support of incredible charities and causes around the world that support the most marginalized and those whose voices need to be amplified.”
She continues, “So, today, I am pinching myself as I star in the iconic and loved-by-everyone PILLOW TALK campaign, but mostly as it means more than words can express to have the love, friendship, support and recognition of Charlotte and her brand. 7-year-old me would have never believed it!!!!”
The transgender icon fronts the campaign for the British beauty brand’s latest collection dubbed “Pillow Talk Party.” Makeup in the line includes a new cream blush formula, Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wands, and bold shimmer shadows called Pillow Talk Hypnotizing Pop Shot Eyeshadows.
Of course, this is not the LGBTQIA+ activist’s first time at the beauty rodeo. According to US Magazine, she signed her first deal with Olay Body in 2019. With Tilbury’s announcement, Rodriguez joins a roster of gorgeous celebrity brand ambassadors including Lily James, Phoebe Dynevor, Kate Moss and Jourdan Dunn.
To celebrate the announcement, as well as the new drop, Rodriguez stars in a short film where she dishes her favorite song to dance to (hint: it’s by Beyoncé) the best party she’s ever hit, what confidence means to her, her favorite party trick, her beauty mantra and more!
In the film, she stuns wearing the new Pillow Talk Party products. The Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wands contain a whisper-light liquid blush capped with a sponge for blending just the right amount whether you want a pop of color on the cheeks or to build a ‘90s-inspired contoured cheekbone. The formula, which contains refined silica spheres for a filtered finish, come in four shades.
Pillow Talk Hypnotizing Pop Shot Eyeshadows are available in two shades that sparkle plenty thanks to new, highly pigmented fantasy finishes: Diamond Dimension, a veil of color with shimmering sheen, and Multi-Dimension, which has a chrome effect. The eyeshadows drop on February 16.
