Chappell has become known for her eye-catching look with over 3.2 million Instagram followers eagerly anticipating what she’ll do next.

FLAWLESS FACE

Self-taught makeup artist Ali Scharf has helped to make Chappell’s visions a reality for many shows and magazine covers since 2023.

They met after her best friend became the 26-year-old singer’s tour manager.

Scharf said she and Chappell are “massive fans” of an affordable primer that keeps foundation in place.

It can also be used for an unexpected reason when getting ready for the stage.

“We've used this exact primer to lube up Chappel and other performers's latex outfits," Scharf told . 

"That material only looks good when it's super shiny, so sometimes when they run out of actual lubricant, they go digging through my makeup kit."

She said working with Chappell has improved her creativity and given her the ability to trust her skills.
