Cardi B turned heads at the 2024 MET Gala when she closed the green carpet with the most opulent black look. It wasn’t just her bold gown that caught our attention—it was her luminous skin. Celebrity makeup artist Erika La Pearl’s secret to that radiant glow? A drugstore body oil that gives skin a gorgeous, red-carpet ready radiance.
To achieve Cardi’s stunning sheen, La Pearl applied Vaseline Radiant X Replenishing Hydrating Body Oil ($12). “With such an extravagant gown, we had to make sure her body was just as radiant and glowing to match” she shared with us. “I used the Vaseline Radiant X Replenishing Hydrating Body Oil all over her chest and arms to get that glamorous shimmer. It really melts into the skin and leaves such a nice glow without feeling sticky. What I love even more is that the product includes 1% lipids to help soften and revive dull skin, leaving your skin silky smooth with such a gorgeous glow.”
The result gave the rapper a smooth texture and beautiful radiance underneath her voluminous tulle gown. At just $12, we love an affordable way to add some MET Gala-worthy glam to our routine.
