We know summer officially starts on June 21, but for us, it began on Olandria Carthen\u2019s birthday. The Love Island<\/em> star marked the occasion on May 29, during the hottest week of the year (and we\u2019re not talking temperatures). Miami Swim Week brings some of the biggest (and sexiest) names to South Beach, and towards the end of the week-long festivities, Carthen gathered friends at Miami Beach hot-spot, Papi Steak, to celebrate another year of being hot\u2014as she should.<\/p>\n \u200bWhile the birthday girl is usually the one getting all the presents, the now 28-year-old partnered with Anastasia Beverly Hills to gift her fans with a sultry, golden glam\u2014complete with her signature Barbie-pink blush. Makeup artist Kimora Mulan created the bold look featuring dark lip liner, fluttery lashes, and gold shimmer that stretched from her lids to her d\u00e9colletage.<\/p>\n Mulan and Carthen speak in code when planning their glam, and when asked what vibe she wanted for her birthday, Carthen said, \u201cLet\u2019s give Barbie tonight.\u201d \u201cThat means real dolly, cutesy glam with extra blush and sultry lashes,\u201d Mulan explains. The pair tapped into some of summer 2026\u2019s biggest makeup trends for her birthday look\u2014namely, body glitter, reflective lids, and matte skin.<\/p>\n You may cringe when you hear the words matte makeup\u2014we get it, we have horrific flashbacks of our crackly 2016 base, too\u2014but in 2026, a matte complexion has a soft, blurred effect that gives more natural-looking Instagram filter and less dry, thirsty skin with foundation slathered on top.<\/p>\n Dior<\/p>\n Anastasia Beverly Hills<\/p>\nForever Skin Wear Blurring Natural Matte Foundation<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
