In a conversation with PEOPLE, Earle expressed her excitement about her look for the evening, highlighting her “very golden” body glow. She described her finished appearance as reminiscent of an Oscar statue, stating, “I’ve got a crazy spray tan on and a lot of body glow. So I was saying I do kind of feel like an Oscar right now. I’m very, very golden. But I’m loving it.” Her metallic Roberto Cavalli gown beautifully complemented her bronzed aesthetic.
Earle’s makeup for the occasion was crafted with a minimalistic approach in mind, a reflection of her personal style. As the newly appointed face of MACzine, the digital platform from MAC Cosmetics that celebrates beauty and artistry, she shared details of the products that helped her achieve her glamorous look. “My glam inspo was definitely very much no-makeup makeup,” she remarked. “We used the Stone MAC lip liner, which is one of my faves. It’s just this grayish, cool lip colour that I’m obsessed with. I just wanted to keep it really minimal and gorgeous and showcase good skin and good vibes.”
In September, Earle was officially announced as MACzine’s newest ambassador, joining a talented lineup of rising stars including Jayden James, Olandria Carthen, and Chappell Roan. Reflecting on her collaboration with MAC, Earle stated, “It’s really insane that I get to work with MAC and all these amazing people. To be one of them, it’s a dream come true. I’m so grateful and it’s just so exciting.”
Her beauty journey is nuanced, influenced significantly by her sister, Alix Earle. She spoke candidly about her beauty regimen, stating that while she admires a variety of styles, she is particularly drawn to darker, cooler tones. “One thing in makeup I don’t like on myself is anything really pink,” Ashtin admitted. “Every time I try to put a pink lip on, I feel like I look like a clown, but it looks so good on other people.”
Earle also shared her unconventional approach to eye makeup, revealing that she often chooses to forgo mascara. “This might be controversial. I know most people always say no look is complete without mascara, but honestly when I’m doing my normal glam, I feel like I don’t need it, but that’s just a ‘me’ thing,” she explained, showcasing her confidence in her choices.
The best piece of advice she received on beauty came from her sister, who encouraged her to rethink her eyebrow shape. “The best beauty advice anyone has ever given me was when my sister told me to thin out my eyebrows,” Ashtin recalled. She described the transformation as life-changing, exclaiming that she felt more attractive after adjusting her brow shape.
Ashtin Earle’s emergence as a beauty influencer highlights the changing landscape of the beauty industry, where personal authenticity and unique styles are increasingly celebrated. Her commitment to embracing her individuality, coupled with her growing profile in the cosmetics world, positions her as a notable figure in contemporary beauty discourse.
The 2026 CFDA Fashion Awards not only showcased Earle’s style but also marked a significant milestone in her burgeoning career. As she continues to rise in prominence, her innovative approach to beauty and self-expression is resonating with audiences across the globe, paving the way for her to inspire others in their personal beauty journeys.
