Overview

The creator humorously introduces the Chicago humidity as the 'unannounced headliner' at Lollapalooza and presents the Ulta Beauty brand activation as the solution. She tours the 'Beat Suite,' gets her makeup and hair touched up using specific products from About-Face and Cécred, and applies a perfume from NOYZ. She concludes by framing the Ulta Beauty experience as a 'VIP pass' for her makeup and points out a related brand mural in the city.

Transcript

You guys hear about the unannounced headliner at Lollapalooza this year? Yeah. It's the humidity. Thankfully, Ulta Beauty is the one stop to refreshing any festival look at Lollapalooza. So let's refresh. The Best Suite by Ulta Beauty had everything you would need, a little freshen up for your face, your body. When I sat down with the activation, we decided to do the Fractal Glitter Better Paint from About Face to just give me that little festival glow. And with the heat and humidity being so insane right now in Chicago, the Sacred Flexible Hold Hairspray is the only thing that will help it. For the final touch up, the Only Human Milk Dip Perfume from Noise is my go to scent. It has such a long lasting scent and leaves a sheen that is gorgeous. So even if the Chicago humidity was the unannounced headliner, Ulta Beauty was the VIP pass that my makeup needed. Also, if you're in Chicago and maybe you're not even going to the festival, definitely stop by the Ulta Beauty mural.
