When Zendaya stepped out for the New York premiere of The Odyssey on July 14th, she didn’t need a single stroke of drama to look like she’d walked straight off Olympus. Playing Athena in Christopher Nolan’s epic, she let the goddess energy live in her skin instead of her lids—dewy, sun-warmed, and lit from within. Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas built the look entirely with Prada Beauty, focused on glow over grit: no mascara, no shadow, just a luminous base and a flush placed exactly where the sun would hit. Paired with her sculptural winged gown, it read less like red carpet glam and more like something ancient—a face carved for myth, not for cameras.
A day and night cream powered by Adapto.gn Smart Technology™ that revitalizes skin and boosts its resistance to daily stressors. Co-formulated with Proxylane, Vitamin CG, and ceramides, it fuses into skin for a smoother texture, restored structure, and a mastered radiance.
A 2-in-1 toner and micro-peel essence that augments skin’s resistance to daily challenges. Powered by a trio of AHA-BHA-PHA acids, this daily micro-peel refines texture and preps skin for the rest of the routine — gentle enough for sensitive skin, strong enough for instant results.
A transformative balm-to-serum eye cream applied with an ergonomic triangle tool, designed to tighten, brighten, and smooth the eye contour. Coded with AAA (Amino Acids-Ashwagandha) Technology™ and 1% caffeine, it targets puffiness and dark circles while boosting collagen production.
A long-wear, refillable foundation that optimizes skin tone, luminosity, and texture for a soft-filtered, real-life glow. Its buildable medium coverage settles into a breathable, soft matte finish that lasts up to 24 hours.
A lightweight, hydrating concealer that instantly awakens skin with up to 24 hours of medium-buildable coverage and no creasing. Infused with a peptide complex and squalane, it works over time to reduce the look of dark circles and imperfections.
A cream-to-powder blush that melts into skin, transforming from a creamy balm into a blurred, soft-matte finish that lasts up to 12 hours with no touch-ups needed. Layered in Caffè and Cherry across the cheeks, nose, temples, forehead, and chin, it mimicked the natural warmth of sun-kissed skin.
A hydrating lip balm infused with bifidus extract and jojoba oil that smooths, moisturizes, and strengthens the lip barrier for up to 24 hours of comfort. In Astral Pink, the pH-reactive formula uses Micro-Blushing™ Technology to deliver a glowy, rosy finish unique to each person’s lips.
A hydrating lip balm infused with bifidus extract and jojoba oil that smooths, moisturizes, and strengthens the lip barrier for up to 24 hours of comfort. The clear/universal formula can be worn alone or as a primer, enhancing the lips’ natural color and texture over time.
“For the premiere, we wanted Zendaya’s skin to look beautifully luminous and sun-kissed. The makeup was intentionally very minimal, with fresh, glowing skin as the foundation of the look. I layered Prada Beauty’s Touch Blush in Caffee and Cherry across the cheeks, nose, temples, forehead and chin, focusing on the areas where the sun would naturally hit. A touch of Prada Balm in Astral Pink brought a soft hint of life to the lips and completed the effortless, radiant finish.” — Ernesto Casillas, Makeup artist.
