Aqueelah "Star" Bahati is a Los Angeles based celebrity makeup artist and stylist. Her work runs from wedding-day glam to red carpets and network television, including Ridiculousness and the BET Awards.
After years perfecting the light in every room she walked into, she built The Light-Up Lip, a liquid gloss with the light built right in, so anyone can find their best light. The chair made the artist. The artist made the brand.
Placeholder proof, ready to swap for Star's real client words the moment she sends them.
She made me look like the best version of myself and it lasted the entire wedding day. Every photo is perfect.
On set, Star just gets it. Camera-ready, fast, and the skin looks like skin. A total pro.
The Light-Up Lip is genuinely different. I do my lips in the car now and they are perfect every time.
