Behind Kim Petras' Fire Red Glam at the 2023 Grammys On Sunday, Kim Petras made history as the first openly transgender woman to win a Grammy in the Best Pop/Duo category. For the major moment, Petras worked with her go-to makeup artist Gilbert Soliz and MAC Cosmetics to create a hellish, fire red look. Related | Kim Petras Is the First Trans Woman to Win Best Pop/Duo GrammyTo get the low down on the ensemble, which Petras wore on the red carpet with collaborator Sam Smith, we spoke to Soliz about how he was inspired by the pair's winning song "Unholy." See on Instagram "What I love about art, whether performance or makeup itself, is that it is up to the audience to interpret the meaning for themselves," Soliz told PAPER. "I think the bold, red and fiery stage perfectly captured the sinful theme of 'Unholy.'"Products used for the look included MAC's gel pencil eyeliner, ruby lip pencil and stack mascara. Speaking on the makeup specifically, Soliz says he wanted to capture the fierceness of a caged but fiery dragon. "Kim’s makeup look emphasizes and embodies a fierce dragon trapped inside a cage — our inspiration was to have her look like she was emerging from all the fiery pyrotechnics unscathed," Soliz explains, "She looks like perfection while everything around her is burning with glassy and glowy skin! Playing off 'Unholy' this is her chance to set fire!" See on Instagram Photo via Getty https://www.papermag.com/kim-petras-grammys-makeup-2659375634.html

Ever wish you had a glam squad made up of all of the best beauty experts in the business over your shoulder before a holiday party? Read on, friend.
PREP SKIN “Make sure your skin is freshly cleansed before you apply makeup. Start with a brightening mask, like the Vinoperfect Radiance Mask, to immediately boost brightness. Leave it on for 10 minutes and wash. As a final step to your look, spray a final spritz of a toning spray, like our Beauty Elixir, to set the look and minimize pores.” – Mathilde Thomas, Caudalie
FAKE A TAN “In just two to four hours, Somerville 360 Body Self Tanning Towelettes will give you a sun-kissed, streak-free glow that looks absolutely stunning against any little black party dress.” – Kate Somerville
GET LUMINOUS “For that ‘I swallowed a lightbulb’ look, use my Tinted Beauty Balm. Powerful skincare ingredients keep your face aglow while power-peptide pigments cover imperfection and flaws.” – Jerrod Blandino, Too Faced
WEAR WINGED LINER "For super chic winged liner try SEPHORA COLLECTION’s Long-Lasting 12HR Wear Eye Liner in black. This ultra-pigmented liner helps you create strong, beautiful lines." – Gilbert Soliz, Sephora PRO
LASH IT UP “For an evening out, add an extra coat of mascara.” – Carol Shaw, LORAC
GO FOR BOLD “A quick swipe of Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick. For festive style, I recommend a high-impact shade like Icon, a classic red, and Riviera, a vibrant tangerine. I wore Riviera to a party recently and a man I didn't know told me excitedly: ‘More women should wear that!’ After bringing his wife over, she decided to buy it at Sephora the following day.” – Carisa Janes, Hourglass
DEFINE BROWS “Clear brow gel instantly defines your brows and is easy to throw into any clutch or bag.” – Anastasia
TRY A PONY “A high ponytail can look sleek and together but not fussy and overdone. And it doesn’t fall apart: it looks the same at the end of the night as it did at the beginning!” – Jimmy Paul, Bumble & bumble
