Olandria Carthen Kicks Off 2026 With Major Blush

Essence highlights Love Island USA star Olandria Carthen’s beauty moment at the pre‑Golden Globes Golden Eve event, where she confidently embraced an ultra‑bold pink blush look that turned her cheeks into a statement feature — painted to match the floral accents of her gown and set off by her new Barbie‑blonde hair, reinforcing a playful yet powerful beauty trend for dark‑skinned women and setting the tone for spring 2026 glam.
