Never mind the best picture snafu: The Oscars 2017 was a total home run when it came to beauty looks (the headbands on Ruth Negga and Janelle Monae gave us life). Turns out, a few of our favorite A-listers, including Chrissy Teigen and Taraji P. Henson, actually had the same secret weapon in their makeup bags: Glossier’s new lighter-than-air blush.
Glossier has made a name in the flashy world of beauty by simply making damn good products. After developing a cult following with their OG line of skin products, they’ve recently gotten into the makeup game with a line of lipstick and now Cloud Paint—a gel-cream blush in four skin-tone-flattering shades that the brand teased right on the red carpet last night.
According to a report from WWD, in addition to Chrissy and Taraji, Allison Williams and Rashida Jones also showed off the new shades—Puff, a cotton-candy pink; Haze, a rich berry; Beam, a sunny peach; and Dusk, a dark nude—all inspired by New York City sunsets.

“We have never launched two products the same way, but we always launch them thinking of our community first, and different cohorts of our community,” Emily Weiss, founder and chief executive officer of Glossier, told WWD.
For Henson’s old-Hollywood look, makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff used Glossier’s Priming moisturizer to prep skin before applying Cloud Paint in Dusk to get a soft, romantic look. Teigen’s makeup artist Mary Phillips wanted to play up the star's natural golden tones, so she mixed Dusk and Beam for a custom look. “They’re supercreamy but liquid at the same time, and can dry like a tint or a stain. They’re honestly one of the most amazing cream blushes I’ve felt in a long time,” said Phillips, who also used Glossier’s Boy Brow and Generation G lipstick on Teigen.
Newly blonde Allison Williams lightened things up with Cloud Paint in Puff. “The sheer texture melts onto the skin to achieve a fresh look yet punched with gorgeous colors," Williams’s makeup artist Melanie Inglessis said. And finally, Jamie Greenberg went all out for Rashida Jones’ Oscars afterparty look, dabbing on Glossier’s Priming Moisturizer,
, Haloscope highlighter, Boy Brow, Generation G lip color, and finally a blend of Puff and Haze to top off the look. Phew.
Like all of Glossier’s products, Cloud Paint is made to be thrown in your can’t-live-without-it bag of essentials and applied with total ease. According to Weiss, fingers are your tool of choice for the buildable, dewy formulation.
Cloud Paint doesn’t officially drop for us mere mortals until March 6, but you can line up to be the first to get your own red-carpet-ready glow at glossier.com now. We'll also update you as soon as we find out the price.
