No matter how mean your cut crease may be, when Naomi teaches you how to put on your makeup, you listen. I have to admit that I don't know much about doing makeup, I'm still trying to get contouring down, but Naomi Campbell just dropped a quick makeup tutorial that will have you looking like a supermodel in no time. Using an array of NARS products, the 49-year-old showed us how she gets her face all the way together for a natural, every day look that anybody could pull off.
These are the 7 products Naomi Campbell uses for an on-the-go glow:
NARS Soft Matte Concealer Amande

She starts by applying NARS Soft Matte Concealer in Amande to her T-zone, upper lip, and cheekbones using a wedge-shaped sponge while leaving the outer areas untouched. Naomi suggested only applying concealer to specified parts of the face to create a more natural look.
"You always have to get a good balance and make sure it's even right under the nose, above the mouth."
NARS Soft Velvet Pressed Powder - Mountain

She uses a medium-sized brush to apply NARS Mountain Pressed Powder to the oiliest parts of her face to remove shine, again, leaving her forehead untouched and focusing on her T-zone and cheekbones.
"I don't want my base to ever look like a mask. I want to just look like I don't have anything on."
NARS Contour Blush in Gienah

Using another brush, Naomi used this Contour Blush palette to define on her cheeks, under her neck, and above her eyelids.

For the next step, the supermodel applied a bright-colored blush to her upper cheekbones. Naomi said that while on vacation, she'll apply a little more blush on top of the eyes. She never applies it to her lower cheekbones because it takes away from her bone structure.
NARS The Veil Cheek Palette

Naomi shared that she prefers powder highlighters and that her favorite of them all comes from a NARS Cheek Pallete. She mixes a neutral gold and a rose gold from this palette to give her just the right glow.
"This one's one of my favorites: I like powder highlighters. I think they're easier. It's also nice to just put a little highlighter down the nose."
NARS Lip Gloss in "Outrage" + "Sexual Content"

After retaching for her coveted contour palette to finish shading her nose and neck, Naomi uses a large spooley to groom her brows and gets her lip gloss poppin'. It pretty much seems like Naomi created pink lip color with this vibrant mix of Outrage and Sexual Content.
NARS Quad-Eyeshadow in Tropical Express

According to Naomi, your day can never be too casual to rock a vibrant, purple eyeshadow. Naomi pulled her amazing 10-minute look together by applying a bold amount of purple eyeshadow and a gold highlighter from the NARS Tropical express palette to her eyelids and lower brow.

Here are some of my favorite takeaways from three standout panels featuring Jordan Chiles, Marsai Martin, and Kandi Burruss.
Leveling Up Your A-Game with Jordan Chiles, Morgan Shaw Parker, Chelsea Fishman, Laura Correnti, and Tabitha Turner-Wilkins

Olympic gymnast Jordan may have medals and magazine covers to her name, but her mindset is refreshingly grounded. “The day I finally feel pressure,” she said, “will be the day I know there’s still more for me to learn.” For her, joy—not pressure—is the fuel. Her confidence isn’t performative; it’s rooted in family, self-worth, and authenticity.
“Everything I’ve done in my career—tattoos, long nails, rocking my crew at the Olympics—that’s all me. It’s not because someone told me to do it. It’s because I felt confident doing it. And that’s where my ambition comes from: being my authentic self.”
For Morgan Shaw Parker, President & COO of the Atlanta Dream, the conversation around pressure went even deeper. “Legacy work” is how she described her mission—navigating male-dominated spaces, sometimes pregnant and pumping on NFL team planes. “After COVID and George Floyd,” she shared, “it became clear to me: vulnerability is power. You don’t have to show up perfect to lead.”
Chelsea Fishman, founder of Atlanta's first bar dedicated to women’s sports, Jolene Jolene, shared how the haters (especially the Reddit kind) were her confirmation: “All those comments saying it would fail—those were the signs that I was doing something right.” She’s hosted 25+ watch parties already and is building the very community they said would never come.
This panel also touched on ambition, authenticity, and owning your power—both in sneakers and in suits. One of the best mic-drop moments came when the moderator flipped the question: “What if we stopped making ‘power’ a bad word for women?” A nod-worthy reminder that we’re not here to play small.
Making Your Voice Heard with Marsai Martin, Carol Martin, Miss Milan, and Heather McMahan

This panel was a masterclass in staying grounded while growing up—or glamming up—on the global stage. Actress and producer Marsai talked about what it’s like to show up in high-pressure moments when your confidence is low but the world is still watching. From red carpets to long shoot days, she reminded us that even when you’re not at 100%, you still find a way to push through.
“There have been days where I wasn’t feeling the best, but I still had to show up on this carpet. Or it was that time of the month, but I still had to go on set. I just didn’t feel as confident—but it’s about how you take care of yourself in those moments and still keep pushing.”
Her mom and business partner Carol Martin dropped gems about motherhood and mentorship: “It’s like teaching your kid to ride a bike over and over again. Now the bike is a movie or a brand.” That balance between guiding and letting go? Not easy—but essential when you’re raising a mogul and running a company.
“There have been days where I wasn’t feeling the best, but I still had to show up on this carpet. Or it was that time of the month, but I still had to go on set. I just didn’t feel as confident—but it’s about how you take care of yourself in those moments and still keep pushing.”
Miss Milan, Grammy Award-winning DJ and Doechii’s right-hand woman, lit the crowd up with her no-nonsense energy. “I built my own table,” she said. “When you build it, they can’t tell you you can’t sit.” From journaling her dreams to manifesting Grammys, her story is one of resilience and intention—and a whole lot of faith in her own vision.
This panel didn’t shy away from hard truths either: the sadness that can come with success, the fear of fading relevance, the criticism that hits differently when it’s personal. But Marsai said it best: know your why. And let it evolve with you.
The Cost of Starting Your Own Business with Kandi Burruss and Nikki Ogunnaike

Carol Lee Rose/ Getty Images for Marie ClaireKandi doesn’t sugarcoat the grind. From chart-topping songwriter to multi-business entrepreneur, she’s built her empire one risk—and one reinvention—at a time.
“Fear equals failure. If you don’t even try, you’ve failed automatically —and you did it to yourself. I’d rather take a risk and lose money than play it safe and never know what could’ve happened.”
She broke down the real costs of entrepreneurship: money, time, and emotional bandwidth. “You think you’re going to work less when you work for yourself?” she laughed. “You’re going to work more.” For Kandi, mommy guilt and financial setbacks are part of the package—but so is the satisfaction of seeing an idea through.
She opened up about scaling back on her clothing store and temporarily closing the original Old Lady Gang location. “It felt like failure,” she admitted, “but sometimes you have to step back to make things better.” Still, she’s not one to quit. She just pivots—with precision.
One of her most memorable reflections? How her music career hiccup led her to songwriting—ultimately writing the mega-hit “No Scrubs.” That song became the key to a new lane and legacy. “You may think you’re working on one dream,” she said, “but it could open the door to another.”
Also? Kandi wants you to stop emailing her from a Gmail. “You’re doing million-dollar business on a bootleg budget,” she joked. “Invest in yourself. Start with a domain name!”
The Marie Claire Power Play Summit was a powerful reminder that ambition, authenticity, and vulnerability aren’t separate traits—they work in tandem. Whether you’re building a bar, a brand, or a business from scratch, the key is to stay rooted in your voice, your story, and your why.
