Nailea Devora Is a Revlon Brand Ambassador! See Her Prep for an Event Celebrating the Partnership (Exclusive)

The digital star and artist, 21, let PEOPLE in on her process as she got ready for an event in honor of her big beauty news

For more than 90 years, Revlon has created makeup and messaging to help people embrace their authentic selves. Its brand ambassadors have played a major role in spreading the word about both — and in September, digital star and artist Nailea Devora joined a roster that includes Ashley Graham and Megan Thee Stallion to help others live boldly.

With over 19 million followers on social media, Devora, 21, is beloved for her down-to-earth and downright funny content embodying the brand ethos. The newly minted global brand ambassador calls the partnership a "pinch-me moment."

"I’ve been a longtime fan of Revlon and it’s incredible to be partnering with such an iconic brand," she tells PEOPLE. "I’m beyond proud to join all of the other Revlon ambassadors who have inspired me and people all over the world."

For her part, Devora shares, "You’ll see me in Revlon campaigns and in-store displays very soon! I’ve started to create social content for their Instagram and TikTok as well, which already has been so fun."

One month into her appointment, Devora says it didn't "feel real" until she got to celebrate with her family and close friends. Ahead, she takes PEOPLE inside the her glam as she prepped for the milestone event.

The Essentials

“It wouldn't be a Revlon night without a full face of glam. These are just a few of my favorites that we used tonight: The Illuminance Skin-Caring Foundation, ColorStay Suede Ink Lipstick and ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen.”

Beaming from Inside Out

"I really think beauty radiates from within. When you feel good inside, it projects outwards in the way you carry yourself. Self love."

Shout Out to the Squad

“I can be a bit indecisive when it comes to my hair and makeup…you just know when you know. I’m so grateful for makeup artist Melissa Hernandez and hairstylist Graham Nation. They are so talented and worked so quickly to create this gorgeous look.”

Lady in Red

“In true Revlon fashion, we had to go bold from the makeup to the outfit. I’ve always loved the color red, but now it definitely holds a special place in my heart.”

If the Shoe Fits

“My stylist Enrique Melendez and I had so much fun playing with looks for tonight. It was definitely difficult deciding, but we ended up going with sheer black polka-dot tights, stunning black Anabela Chan earrings and red Christian Louboutin pumps to pair with my Balestra red sequin dress.”

Got It from Mom

“Growing up, I learned so much from watching my mom [pictured with Devora] do her own makeup (she never leaves the house without a bold red lip!) and that’s really how I first fell in love with fashion and beauty. So, to be able to do this for a living — expressing myself through my makeup and my style — is a dream come true.”

Round of Applause

“Becoming global brand ambassador for a brand that I grew up with has been a whirlwind. I feel so lucky to be a part of the Revlon family, and to have been able to celebrate it with so many people I love. This was such a special night.”

Moment for Life

“And that’s a wrap, thanks for coming along!”
