Lisa Rihanna, Kiara Advani, Met Gala

The 2025 Met Gala brought out glam in every form—bold liner, glassy lips, soft nudes, and radiant skin. Here’s how to channel three stunning celeb looks at home, using affordable, clean, and high-performance picks from M2U NYC.

🔥 Lisa: Winged Liner & Glossy Lips

Lisa (BlackPink) Met Gala

Lisa stunned with dramatic winged eyeliner, flushed cheeks, and a juicy pout.

Get the look with M2U NYC:  

• Eyeliner: Define and flick with the our Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner ($12) for that sharp, lifted eye.

• Blush: Tap on Hydrating Liquid Blush ($12) in “Big Apple” for that natural flush on cheeks and nose.

• Lips: Finish with Lip Gloss ($10) in “Unicorn Blood”—a glassy sparkling red that mimics Lisa’s high-shine pout.

🌹 Rihanna: Rose-Toned Radiance

Rihanna balanced elegance and edge with radiant skin, rosy tones, and soft definition.

Get the look with M2U NYC:

• Glow: Highlight high points with Luminizer ($10) in “Futurity” for that candlelit sheen.

• Blush: Try Cream Blush ($10) in “Hot” for a rich, romantic flush.

• Lips: Dab on Moisturizing Lipstick ($10) in “Dumbo” for a soft, satin finish with depth and dimension.

💫 Kiara: Nude Glam with a Soft Touch

• Lashes: Swipe on our award-winning Tubing Mascara ($12) for natural, fluttery definition—no clumps, no smudge.

• Lips: Blend Matte Lipstick ($10) in “Crème Brûlée” and top with Lip Gloss ($10) in “Clear” for that your-lips-but-better glow.
