Some moments in life feel like they’ve been stitched together with love, family, and a little touch of glamour. Hosting the Dolce & Gabbana Beauty makeup masterclass with my sister, Dylana, and our mom, Mama Suarez, was one of those unforgettable experiences. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect—just ahead of Mother’s Day, it became not only a celebration of beauty but also of family, creativity, and the bonds that inspire us.
The event, held in partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue, brought together some of our favorite creatives and friends for a truly special afternoon. Imagine a room filled with excitement, artistry, and the kind of energy that only comes when people gather to celebrate something new. It wasn’t just another launch—it was an introduction to Dolce & Gabbana’s very first makeup line, a milestone for the brand and a dream project for us to be part of as ambassadors.
A Family Affair
What made the day so meaningful was sharing it with my sister and our mom. We’ve always bonded over fashion and beauty, and this project gave us a chance to step into that world together in a new way. Standing side by side at the masterclass—talking about the products, trying new looks, and seeing the excitement in the room—was a reminder of how much beauty connects us, not just to ourselves, but to the people we love.
Mama Suarez especially brought her own magic to the event. There’s something powerful about celebrating a brand that embraces boldness and confidence while sharing the stage with the women who’ve inspired those very qualities in me. It felt full-circle, like a tribute to the strength, love, and style she’s always embodied.
The Collection
Of course, the true stars of the afternoon were the products themselves. Dolce & Gabbana’s debut makeup line embodies everything the brand is known for—glamour, drama, and that distinctly Italian flair. Each item feels like a little luxury, but also like a tool for self-expression.
For the event, I wore:
- Everkiss Liquid Lip in Respect, a bold, matte finish that gives off instant confidence.
- Cheeks&Eyes Match blush in Joyful Peach, for that warm, just-flushed glow.
- A hint of black eyeshadow from the Eye Dare You! Palette, brushed lightly for depth and definition.
The look struck the perfect balance of strength and softness: a strong matte lip and eye paired with a natural, radiant cheek. It’s the kind of combination that feels effortlessly modern yet timeless, exactly what you’d expect from Dolce & Gabbana Beauty.
And let’s not forget the styling—I paired the makeup with big hair and a power-shoulder blazer dress. Iconically D&G. It’s a look that says you’re ready to take on the world but still enjoy every sparkling, glamorous moment along the way.
Behind the Scenes
Before the final event, Dylana and I had the chance to visit the D&G headquarters for fittings, a behind-the-scenes experience that felt like stepping into the heartbeat of Italian fashion. There’s a certain electricity in seeing the vision come together—from the clothing to the makeup to the atmosphere that will eventually unfold at the event. Every detail is intentional, every piece designed to create a world that feels immersive and unforgettable.
When the day of the masterclass arrived, everything felt aligned. The space glowed with anticipation, the makeup artists were ready to share their artistry, and our guests were eager to explore the new collection. Watching everyone try the products—seeing the way a lip color could transform a mood or how a single swipe of blush could light up a face—was a reminder of why beauty is so powerful. It’s not about perfection; it’s about transformation, confidence, and play.
A Dream Come True
For me, this project was more than an event or a campaign—it was a dream realized. To represent a brand as iconic as Dolce & Gabbana, to help celebrate the launch of their first-ever makeup line, and to do it all with my sister and mom by my side was something I’ll always hold close.
Beauty has always been a form of storytelling, and on that day, our story was about family, empowerment, and joy. It was about honoring the women who shape us and about celebrating the artistry that allows us to express who we are.
As we wrapped up the evening, I couldn’t help but feel grateful. Grateful for the opportunity, for the artistry of the D&G team, and most of all, for the chance to share it with the people who mean the most to me.
This is just the beginning for Dolce & Gabbana Beauty, and I can already see how these products will weave themselves into my own story—whether it’s a bold matte lip for a night out, a soft peach flush for a daytime glow, or a dramatic eye that makes the city feel like mine.
So here’s to glamour, family, and the magic that happens when the two come together. Truly, a dream come true.
