Dallas-based content creator Marvella reveals her secret to a flawless makeup look — featuring her signature blush and a few favourite beauty products.
If there’s one thing Marvella knows, it’s serving face. The Dallas-based digital creator and founder of Marviano Cosmetics recently shared the hacks in her flawless makeup routine, and the effortless glam class is in session.
From her glowing base to signature blush, she takes every step with an intentional technique. Her beauty hack embodies confidence, expression, and the joy of experimenting—inspired by her mum, who encouraged her to play and explore from a young age.
Ready to unlock Marvella’s secrets? Here’s a step-by-step look at her beauty hack for achieving a flawless, blush-forward look.
Step 1: No beauty hack without the perfect skin base
Although she already did her brows, foundation and contour off-screen, Marvella reminds us there’s no good makeup without good skin. Her first beauty hack is that the right skincare and sunscreen are non-negotiable. She swears by the Naked Sunday sunscreen, and for extra glow, she turns to Danessa Myricks’ glowing skin serum and the Anua Niacinamide toner. These are her holy grail trio.
Step 2: Knowledge begets flawless glam
Marvella shares another foundational beauty hack—understanding your facial structure. Familial knowledge of your face is the key to mastering flawless makeup. Even though she’s doing her everyday routine here, that knowledge allows her to easily add a little razzle-dazzle for an elevated look. She’s sure the outcome will be the perfect gala-ready look, and she’s right.
Step 3: Concealer is your best friend
There are so many beauty hacks on concealers out there, and Marvella’s go-to product is the Born This Way concealer in the shade Honey. It’s a good balance of warm and sharp—just the perfect tone for her skin. This gives her a well-matched conceal—an essential beauty hack for brightening without looking harsh. It also easily blends and yet stands out.
Step 4: Blushed and fearless.
Marvella’s favourite beauty hack is the blush. “Everyone knows me for my blush,” she says. She believes the right blush application changes the game. Her go-to product is the Huda Beauty Blush Filter, and she applies it just above her cheeks, sculpting her cheekbones to perfection. In Marvella’s style, don’t be afraid to go bold with your blush.
Step 5: Blushed and balanced
She did say everyone knows her for her blush, so what’s better than one blush? Two! Marvella uses the Huda Beauty Blush Filter again, but in a lighter shade of pink this time. She jokes about her “blush blindness” and how she always wants more. But here’s her expert tip—“A little goes a long way.” This beauty hack is about building gradually and blending intentionally.
Step 6: The beauty hack for detail and depth with concealer
For another layer of brightness and definition, Marvella returns to the Born This Way concealer for her under-eyes, chin, forehead and contour line. “Makeup isn’t one-size-fits-all,” she reminds us. Her application technique pushes the product into the skin with a brush so it melts naturally.
She uses a smaller brush to dab the concealer gently in place—pressing, not dragging, gives a smooth and flawless finish. This beauty hack is about patience; the right tools and blending technique are everything.
Step 7: The blush queen strikes again
After getting the product quantity and their placements correctly, our blush queen uses a soft beauty blender to press it all in. Marvella’s beauty hack is a perfect mix of consistency and technique. Blush is her signature, and she knows exactly how to make it pop.
Step 9: Set and slay
To set her concealer and keep everything in place, Marvella dabs the True Match pressed powder under her eyes. There are no creases allowed in this beauty look, and this simple but essential hack ensures her glam lasts all night.
Step 10: Marvella’s final beauty hack
With the rest of her makeup done off-screen, Marvella signs off with her final beauty hack: “Take care of your skin.” Great makeup starts and ends with skincare, and her glow says it all.
Marvella’s approach to makeup is equal parts technique, equal parts artistry, and all personality. Her beauty hack isn’t about perfection, it’s about knowing what works for you, having fun, and never underestimating the power of a good blush. Heading to a gala or just feeling like dressing up, Marvella’s routine is your new beauty bible.
