If you haven’t been keeping up with Marsai Martin’s meteoric career, let us be the first to tell you: she is a certified powerhouse. From growing up on our TV screens as Diane Johnson in the hit show “Black-ish” to producing her own movies and walking in runways, Martin has been dominating Hollywood for years. As she’s grown up, Martin has also managed to put another notch in her belt as a premiere source of beauty inspiration.
“I knew that I was only going to get some moisturizer, brow-gel, and probably some chapstick,” Martin previously told POPSUGAR, as she looked back on the earlier years of glam that she had as a child-star. “I would always have my hand-dandy [lip balm] with me.” Now, Martin has been working with more beauty brands like Clinique, and her love for makeup comes from years of studying what works for her. “I really looked at the things that I liked about my face and what I wanted to do for my skin, as well as my own makeup techniques that I wanted the artists I worked with to try on me,” she said.
These days, Martin can move between wearing full glam with her signature ’90s supermodel lip, or rocking a fresh face with ease. “I really had to learn more about my identity and who I am,” she said. “I had to know myself from the inside.” This journey has led to Martin churning out some incredible beauty moments over the last few years, all of which deserve to take up real estate on your mood board. So, if you’ve been looking for some beauty inspiration, we rounded up some of Martin’s most iconic beauty moments so far (get ready to put on some graphic eyeliner).
