Looking her Super Bowl best, songstress Katy Perry easily stole the halftime show with her classic glamour. Rocking a pumped up pony and retro-chic makeup, Perry looked the part of a party-ready pinup girl, perfect for the big game. To steal this hot look yourself, Covergirl and KMS California, experts Jake Bailey and Clyde Haygood dish on how to get these red hot styles right from the comfort of your own home.
“For makeup, I decided to go with a classic Katy look — elongated cat eyes, lots of mascara, super sparkly gold and silver glitter, and a bold red lip for glamour and showmanship. I wanted her to glow and sparkle for her big moment in just nine steps,” celebrity makeup artist Jake Bailey explains.
Using only Covergirl products, check out Bailey’s breakdown on the complete game day look.
Step One: “To create a sheer and flawless canvas I began by buffing a dime size amount of COVERGIRL Outlast 3-in-1 Foundation in Natural Beige all over her face and neck.”
Step Two: “For an elongated cat eye, I used COVERGIRL Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner in Black Onyx and painted a glitter adhesive just above the black liner and carefully placed a mix of gold and silver glitter on the adhesive with a tiny eyeliner brush for precision.”
Step Three: “Then I applied COVERGIRL Eye Shadow Quads in Blooming Blushes to add warmth and dimension. I love this palette because it takes the guesswork out of getting gorgeous eyes, it has number for the shades – 1,2,3,4 – so I know just how to apply! I used the fourth shade to define the crease and the first shade to highlight the lids.”
Step Four: “I finished the eye look with an aggressive lash curling and two coats of new COVERGIRL Full Lash Bloom by LashBlast Mascara in Very Black that left her lashes voluminous and touchably soft throughout her performance! No time for flakes during this performance.”
Step Five: “To give her brows shape and structure, I added COVERGIRL Pow-der Brow + Liner in Dark Brown.”
Step Six: “For extra dimension, I warmed her cheeks using COVERGIRL Clean Glow Blush in Roses using the lighter shades on the apples of her cheeks and the darker shade in the hollows of her cheeks.”
Step Seven: “Then I added COVERGIRL truMAGIC Luminizer to her cheekbones and brow bones for a shimmery glow.”
Step Eight: “Moving on to the lips, I lined and shaped her lips using COVERGIRL Lip Perfection Lip Liner in Hot. I then applied a coat of new COVERGIRL Colorlicious Lipstick in Seduce Scarlet – truly a classic red, for a classic Katy look.”
Step Nine: “ I topped it off with a tiny dollop of COVERGIRL Lip Lava in Mauva Lava for a fun and bold lip look!”
Although Perry’s flirty ponytail was constructed using a human hair velcro ponytail, when constructing Katy’s pumped up pony at home, it’s important to think volume, volume, volume!
“Katy specifically asked for the perkiest pony you’ve ever seen,” hairstylist Clyde Haygood explains.

Step One: To set the ponytail, first Clyde took five 3-inch sections and curled them with a 2-inch iron to create an “S” wave. Each section was sprayed with KMS California FREESHAPE 2-in-1 styling + finishing spray before curling. Clyde used this spray because it’s heat activated and perfect to use with irons for setting dry hair. It also brushed out beautifully giving him the bounce he wanted for the performance
Step Two: Next, Clyde worked on slicking Katy’s own hair back with his “go-to” gel product, KMS California HAIRSTAY styling gel. This gel has impeccable hold and gave Clyde the glass-like shine he wanted for Katy’s hair.
Step Three: Once the ponytail was attached Clyde took a small amount of KMS California HAIRPLAY gel wax into the palm of his hands then top-coated Katy’s pony to tame any flyaways and give added support to the style. Clyde likes this product because it has the hold of a gel, yet has flexibility and lets hair move naturally.
