SZA just made her Super Bowl Halftime Show debut.
The Lana singer joined Kendrick Lamar on for his much-anticipated Super Bowl Halftime Show stage in New Orleans, Louisiana for Super Bowl LIX, and performed “Luther” and “All the Stars.” The two are frequent musical collaborators, and they’re about to go on tour together too; their Grand National Tour kicks off in Minneapolis on April 19 and includes 23 stops throughout the United States and Canada.
SZA’s go-to hairstylist Devante Turnbull was behind the Grammy winner’s long, flowing, fluffy curls, which are currently a rich shade of deep auburn red. “SZA and I collaborated on her Super Bowl look, staying true to her signature big hair while elevating it with extra length and adding a deep red hue using Redken Color Fusion 6RR,” Turnbull told Allure. “We kept the volume and texture she loves while adding a fresh, bold twist.”
To maintain her hair’s health after lifting and coloring, Turnbull treated SZA to a K18Repair Service, a salon-only treatment to help strengthen and repair hair. With the two-step process, Turnbull says he has “the confidence that I can push the look further because I know damage isn’t a concern. It is also great to help preserve the curl pattern, even after bleach or color.” Turnbull then used the GHD Curve Wand and Thin Wand curling irons to create a variety of ringlet sizes, “giving her a unique, textured look tailored just for her.”
Makeup artist Deanna Paley, who also frequently works with the star, added lots of shimmer and sparkle to SZA’s lids with a pretty pink shade, defined her eyes with thick strokes of eyeliner and lush lashes, and finished with a bright shimmery white shadow in the inner corners to catch the those bright stage lights. “We wanted a look that was bold, effortless, and a little bit dreamy,” Paley explained. “We went for radiant, lit-from-within skin, bold lashes, and a glittery pink eyeshadow for that extra glow. And of course, the perfectly pink glossy lip.” Paley used Charlotte Tilbury products on SZA, including Beauty Blush Wand in Pillow Talk Dream Pop and Beauty Light Wand in Pillow Talk Medium on her cheeks, Matte & Metallic Double Ended Eyeliner in Mesmerizing Maroon on her lids, and Hot Lips Lipstick in Liv It Up on her lips, plus Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray to keep everything in place onstage.
