@haileybieber [1] Grwm for my birthday in Tokyo 🤍
♬ Rich Flex - Drake & 21 Savage [2]
Hailey Bieber [3] recently turned 26, and before spending the night celebrating in Tokyo, Japan, she gifted the whole world a TikTok video showcasing exactly how she achieved her flawless birthday makeup. I'm a big Bieber fan (maybe the biggest), and if you know me IRL, you know I love recreating everything from her outfits to her hairstyles [4]. A few months ago, I learned how to do her signature makeup look [5] (thanks to a tutorial from Hailey herself). So when I saw her final birthday look, I immediately knew I needed to try it out for myself.
First, I turned on "Rich Flex" by Drake and 21 Savage to truly immerse myself in Hailey's experience. Then, to prep my skin, I followed in Bieber's footsteps and started out by using the Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid [6] and following up with the Rhode Barrier Restore Cream [7]. Bieber is a big fan of mixing the Peptide Glazing Fluid with makeup products, so when I saw her add a small amount to the Chanel Ultra Le Teint Ultrawear All-Day Comfort Flawless Finish Foundation [8] (£45) before applying it to her face and neck with her hands, I didn't hesitate to follow suit. After blending everything out with a foundation brush, I used the Kosas Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer [9] (£26) under my eyes and on the centre of my chin. Next, I blended everything out with the Hourglass Veil Powder Brush [10] (£63) and a beauty blender, and then I went in with a spoolie to brush up my eyebrows.

Bieber then used the Kylie Cosmetics Lip & Cheek Glow Balm in Pink Me Up [11] (£16) on her cheeks and nose, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to get my hands on the same product, so I used a similar pink shade from the Makeup Forever Ultra HD Face Essentials Palette [12] (£61). After blending everything out with a blush brush, I used the Haus Labs Bio-Blurring Talc-Free Loose Setting Powder [13] to set the area between my eyebrows and the centre of my chin. Next, Bieber used the Make Beauty Heat Stroke Dewy Gel Cheek Tint in Toasted [14] (£30) to add a bit of colour to her lids, but the closest product I had at home was the Merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer [15], which in my opinion gave me essentially the same look.

Bieber then grabbed the Pat McGrath Labs Mothership VII Eyeshadow Palette [16] (£118) and used a chestnut brown shade again over her lids before layering a sparkly champagne shade on top, which I mimicked at home. Next, it was time for eyelash curling and mascara — Bieber used the Milk Makeup Kush High Volumizing Mascara [17] (£13), but I went with one of my tried and true favourites, the Tower28 MakeWaves Mascara [18] instead. After applying the Haus Labs Bio-Radiant Gel-Powder Highlighter with Fermented Arnica [19] to the high points of my cheeks, both Bieber and I finished everything off by lining our lips with the Tower 28 OneLiner Multi-Liner in Draw Me [20] (£15) and then filling everything in with the Pat McGrath Labs Matte Trance Lipstick in Christy [21] (£36).
After putting her hair up in an effortless '90s-style updo and going over the front pieces of her hair with the Dyson Corrale [22] (£400) — which I totally copied as well — Bieber put the finishing touch on her makeup look by adding a layer of the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment [23]. I'm a big fan of the product [24], so layering it on top of my lips was a no-brainer.

The final look was a glossy, glazed, sparkly masterpiece, if I do say so myself. While I don't see myself wearing this look every day, it's an easy way to look glam without going overboard, and I fully plan on wearing it on future nights out.
