After revealing Revlon’s Glimmer Gloss, Nogueira, 26, exclusively spilled the tea on Us Weekly about the product by sharing your true opinion about the stain. “You heard it here first, Super Lustrous Glimmer Gloss is the next It Girl lip gloss,” the makeup artist revealed. “Whether I’m keeping it natural and glowy or going full glam, these products amp up every vibe with a little sparkle and shine,” Nogueira said. “It’s not sticky or gritty like many other glosses; I’m obsessed.”
Revlon’s Glimmer Gloss, which launched on January 6, contains 10 shades that Nogueira says are “completely game-changing.” Her favorite? The bronze spark she spoke of us it’s a “chef’s kiss!”
“I’m totally hooked on the moisturizing and nourishing formula, it makes my lips feel so soft and smooth after every use,” continued Nogueira. “I keep one of these lindens in each of my bags (along with Revlon ColorStay Lip Pencil) because I just can’t leave the house without it!”
Not only was Nogueira passionate about the product, but she was also giving it us tips on how to use it in our glamor routine. “For a nighttime look, layering that sparkles and shines is key! My current lip combo is iconic Super-shine glass shine balm with rum and raisin with Super shiny glitter in glazed almond for luscious, glossy lips that last.”
On makeup-free days, Nogueira applies lip oil to her pout to keep it hydrated and shiny.
When it comes to confidence, Nogueira feels best with black hair and a little self-tanner. She recently added red highlights to her northern mane, but said us she has no plans to experiment with other colors.
“The red highlights didn’t last long,” she joked. “I bought them for the holidays to make it brighter, but I’ve been dying my hair black for almost 15 years now. I feel most confident and most like myself with black hair.’ Nogueira also noted that she “loves” the contrast between how dark her tresses are and how fair her skin is with her polarizing green eyes.
“I’m naturally blonde, which is interesting because most people only know me with black hair. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to my natural hair color,” Nogueira said during an interview with us. Although she hasn’t noticed any gray hair yet, the only way we’ll see her hair change is if it goes completely silver.
Nogueira also opened up us about what she’s “insecure about” what a red lip. “Every time I do a red lip for a video, I take it off right after,” she said usnoting that wearing it on the red carpet would be “mostly” out of her comfort zone – even though the guru admitted it would be “power”.

“I’m trying really hard to feel confident and comfortable with red lips, but I haven’t come to my senses yet. I always preferred to focus on the eyes rather than the lips,” she explained.
In everyday life, Nogueira uses a concealer that is part of the Glimmer brand collection. Brightens concealer. “It’s like a cup of coffee for the face,” she quipped. “A little bit under the eyes goes a long way, and it looks like I actually got eight hours of sleep, even though I didn’t.”
Nogueira also recommended the Glimmer Blush Drops us as “a dupe for some of the other high-end products” on the market.”
Something she’s still experimenting with is self-tanning. Joking that getting a bronzer at home isn’t her “area of expertise” because her arms always turn out “terrible”, she shared a tip she recently received from a fan.
“I saw a comment that said if you’re self-tanning, you should put the last thing on your hands, leave it on for ten minutes and wash your hands. It worked really well!” Nogueira said us. “My hands really belong with the rest!” Her favorite tanning products include Tree Hut Body Scrub, Lux Unfiltered Shower Oil, and Sol De Janeiro Body Oil.
