Chappell Roan was feeling generous on Saturday (Nov. 2) during her first ever appearance on Saturday Night Live as a musical guest. The 26-year-old made sure her time on SNL‘s stage would go down in history, as she debuted a brand new song titled “The Giver.” Instead of the classic pop sound fans become used to, the “Hot to Go” singer dipped into country and made sure her makeup reflected the shift in sound.

Viewers were treated to awe-worthy outfits including a leather pink and white gingham two-piece with purple bows and matching boots, as well as a dramatic makeup look that featured a full face of MAC Cosmetics — including the beauty brand’s cult-favorite mascara. Through a partnership with the beauty brand, Roan was made up complete with MAC products in addition to their bestselling mascara.

Her sound may have shifted in the new song, but Roan made sure to maintain her bold drag-inspired makeup. In addition to incorporating vibrant hues of hot pink blush and exaggerated cut creases, the “Good Luck, Babe!” singer topped off here eye look with rhinestones to bring the shimmer, while MAC’s top-rated mascara brought volume and lift to her lashes.
