Coco Jones is having such a moment right now. She’s been casually hanging out on the charts—no biggie—with her single “Here We Go (Uh Oh),” which she sang on the Colossal Wave of Wonder float during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. And not too long after, she swung back around a few blocks to visit Rockefeller Center for the star-studded annual tree-lighting celebration, where she treated the live and television audiences to “Do You Hear What I Hear?” and the song “String of Lights” off of her Christmas album, “Coco by the Fireplace.” But before she hit the stage, we had the pleasure of joining the singer for a get-ready-with-me that found her getting outside of her beauty comfort zone for this special occasion.
As Jones sat in a comfy-looking gray hoodie, she was surrounded by a glam team to her hair and makeup in the holiday spirit. “Today, we’re doing an elevated cherry, cranberry energy,” she tells Allure. “I normally never really do a lip color, but I’m trying to branch out.” Spoiler alert: the branching out pays off, as a cranberry ombré lip ended up framing her million-dollar smile.
But before she got her lip color on—and right in the middle of getting a shimmering champagne eye—Jones was called for a quick dress rehearsal. When she got back, her makeup artist, Andrea Ventura, finished up the radiant look, and her hairstylist, Elizabeth Semande, who was curling her wig before it was placed on her head, did some quick touch-ups to complete the timeless, bombshell look.
