If I could capture even a hint of Zendaya’s signature style, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second. Thanks to her beauty look at the Met Gala 2025, a piece of her red carpet radiance is accessible for all. She showcased a nude lip combination that compelled me to try it myself, and I’m thrilled to report: the contour liner and lip gloss duo provided a filler-like effect without any needles, hassle, or pain.
The Dune star graced the Met Gala in a stunning monochrome cream outfit. While her Louis Vuitton suit was breathtaking, I couldn’t take my eyes off her flawless lips. She opted for a lip duo from the Charlotte Tilbury Super Nudes collection, which kept her lips looking plump and photo-ready from every angle. I tried the lip combination myself, and spoiler alert — it streamlined my five-step routine down to just two.
A source revealed to Us that Zendaya’s makeup artist Ernesto Casillas used the Charlotte Tilbury Super Nudes Lip Cheat Contour Duo liner paired with the Big Lip Plumpgasm lip gloss. Together, these products create a 3D plumping effect that mimics the look of fuller lips without the hefty price tag.
Keep reading to discover the exact products I used to replicate Zendaya’s Met Gala lip look.
Lip Cheat Contour Duo
This lip cheat contour duo features two complementary shades designed to create an optical illusion of fuller lips. Available in four different nude tones, from fair to deep, I began by outlining my lips with the darker shade, then applied the lighter shade along the outline. The outcome? Luscious, supermodel-worthy lips — all without any fuss, tingling, or discomfort.
Big Lip Plumpgasm Lip Gloss
To achieve a glossy finish, I used the Big Lip Plumpgasm lip gloss in the shade ‘nudegasm diamonds.’ This formula includes cayenne pepper extract for a plumping effect and is infused with oils for lasting hydration. Not only did it provide an instant volumizing effect, but my lips also felt silky smooth throughout the night.
