On one of Hollywood’s most watched nights, grooming is as essential as tailoring. For the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, rising star Connor Storrie, currently commanding attention for his role in Heated Rivalry, stepped onto the red carpet with a look that felt polished, effortless, and camera-ready. Behind that quietly confident glow was celebrity groomer Candice Birns, who crafted the look using Milk Makeup, including an exclusive first use of an unreleased complexion product launching February 3.
“When it comes to red carpet, complexion is everything,” Birns explains. The goal was not heavy coverage, but refined skin that looks natural under intense lighting and high-definition lenses. She began by applying a small amount of Milk Makeup’s unreleased complexion product around the eye area, subtly brightening and evening the skin while maintaining a fresh, undetectable finish.

From there, Birns layered Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grip Hydrating Gel Skin Tint across the rest of the face. Known for its lightweight feel and skin-like payoff, the tint delivered sheer coverage while keeping the complexion hydrated and luminous throughout the evening. The result was skin that looked healthy, smooth, and completely believable on camera.
To add dimension without distraction, Birns lightly swept Milk Makeup’s Matte Bronzer onto the cheeks, blending softly into the temples, forehead, and down the bridge of the nose for warmth and definition. A touch of Balmade Electrolyte Tinted Lip Balm added natural color, while KUSH Brow Lamination Gel kept brows groomed yet relaxed. The look was finished with a mist of Hydro Grip Hydrating Setting Spray to lock everything in place without compromising movement or glow.
The final result was a masterclass in modern red carpet grooming. Clean, confident, and unfussy, the look complemented Storrie’s presence rather than competing with it, proving that today’s most compelling beauty moments are rooted in restraint and thoughtful product choices.
As awards season continues, Milk Makeup’s approach to complexion-forward beauty and Birns’ refined artistry underscore a larger shift in red carpet grooming. It’s no longer about transformation. It’s about enhancement, intention, and skin that looks as good in person as it does under the flash of cameras.
