If you’re a lover of beauty YouTubers, you’ve likely been following Bretman Rock for a few years. Ever since he rocketed to fame in 2015 with a contouring tutorial, the 23-year-old has been a beauty force to be reckoned with. And, now that he’s a fan fave at the biggest red carpets and runway shows, Rock’s constantly turning out amazing beauty looks.

Given the jaw-dropping beauty of Rock wearing the same gown Aaliyah did to the 2021 VMAs, his no-makeup-makeup, subtle eyes, and super brushed up brows let the dress shine without his face disappearing.

I love seeing Rock in a bold lip since the beauty guru so often favors nude. To let this rich pink pop, he pared down the rest of his makeup for the 2021 MTV Movie and TV Awards and just went for a simple, bronzy look.

Rock showed off his contouring skills at the Christian Cowan show during New York Fashion Week 2021. His heavy smokey eye added some drama that paired perfectly with his cheetah print suit.

Rock really let his eyes pop with this bronzy look he wore to a REVOLVE party in NYC during 2021 NYFW. However, what really brings the drama is the pigmented contour on his cheeks.

Let’s hear it for this all-red look from the 2020 Mulan premiere in LA. The upward angle of his eyeshadow gives an edgy touch that would make the soldier proud.

As if lime green eyeshadow wasn’t enough to make this look one for the books, Rock also wore lashes that defy the laws of gravity to the Sies Marjan show during 2021 NYFW. I can’t even imagine what blinking was like in these.

A Krispy Kreme donut has nothing on the glossy look Rock served on the Miss Universe red carpet in January 2017. This moment is highlighter on highlighter, and it’s perfection.
