“Mihlali’s Face Card Is Outrageous”: South Africans In Awe of Mihlali Ndamase’s Beauty At Fenty Beauty Event In Los Angeles
Beloved South African beauty content creator Mihlali Ndamase has been turning heads since way before being named one of the 30 Under 30 by Forbes, and the makeup artist has been on a path of steady ascension since making her name known.
The neck-breaking belle recently flew to Los Angeles, California for the Fenty Beauty Skin Lit Glow launch, meeting up with some of the world’s most influential beauty stars, including the founder herself, Rihanna.
Mihlali took to her Instagram account to relive the moments, posting: “My journey in the digital space has had its ups and downs, but the moment I even begin to doubt myself God affirms me every time. Thank you Father for consistently making my dreams a reality. We started in a cottage in Randburg, now we’re in LA b*tches.”

In the picture, the pair can be seen striking their cool but luscious poses for the Skin Lit Glow launch event in Los Angeles.
