Without skipping a beat, Jackie added: “I trust all of Kat Von D Beauty’s products because they’re long-lasting and survive my red carpet moments always.”

Lash Lifter

When it comes to lashes, Jackie’s glam squad knows how to show off. To further exaggerate and dramatize her eyes, the celebrity MUA used a light wig technique on her lower lashes to bring them to life. If you'd rather tone it down, you can use false lashes or several coats of mascara instead, but to recreate the Twiggy-inspired authentic look you will need to paint them on with liquid liner as well. “I am so proud and excited to be the first celebrity face of Kat Von D Beauty’s Go Big or Go, Home Mascara,” said Jackie. “It’s surreal since I used to say I want to work with Kat Von D one day and I’ve always dreamt of having a makeup deal, and here I am,” added the star

To complete her sixties vibe, the Latina MUA went for a high pigment long-lasting pink nude. The vegan and cruelty-free liquid lipstick is infused with natural comfort-enhancing ingredients, including vitamin E and sunflower seed so you can flaunt a lasting matte color.
