Karol G’s makeup artist, Patrick Ta, explains how they collaborated to create the makeup look for her Billboard Music Awards performance at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards Presented by Marriott Bonvoy.

Patrick Ta:
I’m Patrick Ta and I’m Karol’s makeup artist. I started working with Karol G almost three years ago and it has been such a delight because I feel like there’s not that many artists out there that like treat their team like family and she is definitely one of them. And she hugs you every single time she comes into the room, so it’s a really great environment to be in.

This is actually my first time doing a artist completely dancing, doing choreography, and singing in water. My first thought when I heard that she is going to be in water, being dragged in water, I was so nervous because we wanted to do a smokey eye. And obviously when there is sweat involved and when there is oil and when there is water, black makeup on the eye is definitely not something that you want to do. But we figured out a way to use black in her eye shadow. Just a little bit of like a black smudge in her water lines something to just make her eyes look a little sultry.

I am so excited for fans to recreate this look because it’s the whole entire package.

Bebe Rexha’s choreographer Ruby shares a behind the scenes look at Bebe Rexha’s performance of “I’m Good (Blue)” and “One In A Million” with David Guetta at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards Presented by Marriott Bonvoy.

Ruby
I am Ruby and I am choreographing Bebe Rexha’s BBMAs performance it has been nothing but amazing. We’ve had so much fun in the rehearsal process and it has been such a collaborative experience getting in flow and, this is such an up tempo song so you know we’re hitting some steps. When it came to creative for this, it was really like just the location and some lights. The location is amazing and it’s such a unique space to be dancing in. But with that being said, there’s definitely some elements that we’re going to have to adapt to to make it be the best that it can be. They really gave me a lot of freedom when it came to the choreography and what I felt the movement direction should go for this. So it was very freeing and it felt really great to be trusted with this performance. This whole experience altogether has been amazing and I’m super thankful to be here.

Mariah Carey
Thank you babies. Thank you. Thank you so much. I couldn’t ask for better presenters than Roc and Roe. Thank you guys. Alright well, I just want to say Billboard has been an integral part of my life for a very long time now. Even though I don’t acknowledge time, I kind of have to admit that some of my most memorable times in my career are connected to Billboard and the BBMAs. One thing I really have to say is that I’m so grateful for the fact that my fans have been here with me through the hits, the misses, the No. 1 and the bubbling unders. I love you so much. This award is particularly special to me because the song itself changed my entire life. When I first sat down to write “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” I never could have imagined that I would be standing here three months later accepting a special award for it okay, so I just want to say thank you to everyone who’s allowed this song to be part of their holiday soundtrack each year. I’m so honored to be receiving this award for this little songs chart achievements but the greatest achievement for me is being here with all of you and feeling the love that only music can generate. Thank you so much!
