The 2026 Golden Globes are well underway, and the red carpet is filled with stars. Today, January 11, marks the unofficial start of awards season, and practically all of Hollywood got the memo.
First up? The Bama Barbie herself, Olandria Carthen. Dressed in a stunning Christian Siriano gown, Carthen was a vision in green and dripping in diamonds—as fitting as it should be, given that she is America’s Sweetheart.
That being said, my eyes are drawn to her glam, which, as per usual, is perfect. A brown-toned supermodel lip was the star of the show, and the TV personality added a gloss on top for a glassy shine. She paired the lip with blushing pink cheeks, long half lashes, and the most sultry body glow I’ve seen on the carpet so far. In addition to this, she wore a gold, abstract, French tip-inspired nail design.
In short? She has yet another 10/10 look under her belt—and 2026 has only just begun.
While exact details about her look have yet to be revealed by her team, if you’ve been a fan of the Love Islander since last season, you might already know what it is. In August 2025, Carthen launched a lip kit with NYX Cosmetics, aptly named the Nicolandria collection. The set includes three products: the brand’s Slim Lip Pencil in Espresso and two butter glosses in the shades Spiked Toffee and Lava Cake. All items are still available as of right now, so I’ve saved you the hassle and linked them below, as well as a few other products that you can use to achieve her glam.
### Get the Look:
**NYX Professional Makeup Slim Lip Pencil in Espresso**
Start the look with a brown lip liner like this one to define your lips and lay the foundation for the gloss.
**NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss in Spiked Toffee**
This buttery gloss appears to be Olandria’s favorite, as she has two shades from this line in her kit—Spiked Toffee and Lava Cake.
**POUND CAKE Cake Theory Lip Tone Equalizing Oil in Browning**
For an everyday take on the trend, Pound Cake’s Lip Tone Equalizing Oil is perfect to give you that glossy shine with a slight tint.
