Reality TV Glam: Bachelorette Makeup Secrets from Celebrity Artist Lyndsay Zavitz
Alright, reality TV fans, trending makeup looks and practical glam tips are practically a love language among stars, and nobody knows that better than celebrity makeup artist Lyndsay Zavitz. With a clientele that reads like the who’s who of the “Bachelor” franchise—Hannah Brown, Kaitlyn Bristowe, Dorit Kemsley, you name it—Zavitz is spilling her beauty secrets, teaching us how to look camera-ready like we just stepped off the most dramatic rose ceremony.
In an exclusive chat with Us Weekly, Zavitz emphasized that the ultimate goal is creating that flawless look that feels effortlessly stunning. A huge part of her magic begins with a killer base. She advises using “medium to full-coverage foundation” that doesn’t feel heavy under the glare of studio lights. Her go-to products? La Mer’s Soft Fluid Long Wear Foundation and NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, which she claims work wonders for long shoots that require the stars looking their very best for hours on end.
But here’s where it gets interesting: instead of the typical strip lashes that might scream “fake,” Zavitz swears by individual false lashes. “The detail goes a long way,” she said. She loves Sweed Lashes for that perfect fluttery, yet subtle effect. Faux lashes might seem small, but when they’re expertly placed, they make a world of difference on screen.
When it comes to color, Zavitz doesn’t skimp on the bronzer. She combines cream and powder blushes to create a natural sun-kissed glow, using the Patrick Ta Major Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo. For the lips, she’s all about keeping it flirty and enduring. A bit of prep with Image Skincare and outlining with Make Up For Ever’s Artist Color Pencil sets the stage for Patrick Ta’s Silky Lip Crème. She promises it’s smudge-proof, perfect for those intimate Bachelor moments.
The final touch? A strategic glow, of course! Zavitz uses Iconic London’s Illuminator Liquid Highlight to make sure her clients shine bright under all those production lights. However, she has one major beauty secret up her sleeve: she doesn’t believe in setting sprays. Instead, she relies on proper preparation to keep that makeup intact. It’s all about hydration and the right translucent powder to keep the look fresh, even when the cameras are rolling.
So, if you’re dreaming of that red-carpet-worthy glow or aiming for a softer “I just woke up like this” vibe, you might want to take notes from Zavitz. Because let’s be real, looking like a star is always in style—whether you’re headed to a date or just binging your favorite reality show.
