These beauty must-haves are perfect for quick and easy touch-ups between all of the homecoming parties, games, and concerts, so don’t forget to pick up these beauty essentials on your next Target run. Plus, both of the brands featured below were founded by beauty industry powerhouse and proud FAMU alum Melissa Butler making them the perfect products for the occasion.
Joirdyn’s Pick: Thread Blend It Blush Multistick
Joirdyn stays ready for a touch-up anytime, anyplace with the Thread Blend It Blush Multistick. Whether the Clark Atlanta University freshman is on her way to class or repping her school on the basketball court, the Thread Blush Multistick is Joirdyn’s secret to an instant glow. This easy-to-use blush stick is available in four shades to match any mood, whether you’re feeling a laid-back neutral or want a bold pop of color. “With one swipe, I’m all done — no brushes, no hassle. Perfect for when I’m in a rush to get to a game,” says the student-athlete and stylist.
Marissa’s Pick: The Lip Bar Botanical Lip Oil
Marissa preps for homecoming with her makeup bag must-have: The Lip Bar Botanical Lip Oil. The Howard University senior and women’s basketball star loves the bestselling product’s lightweight formula. It’s packed with soothing botanicals that keep her lips hydrated and glossy, giving an effortless shine on and off the court. The Lip Bar Botanical Lip Oil comes in four versatile shades that moisturize and enhance the lips. Marissa knows all too well that a swipe of her Lip Bar Botanical Lip Oil goes a long way because when you look good, you feel good. “I’m ready to rep Howard University with confidence.”
