As Hilary Duff returned to the stage for her comeback tour after nearly 20 years away from the music industry, all eyes were on her glowing look.

The US actress and singer was spotted wearing Naked Sundays, an Australian SPF brand founded by TV host-turned-beauty entrepreneur Samantha Brett.

Celebrity makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan Fisher – whose Hollywood clients include Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon – was behind Hilary’s flawless complexion during her recent LA show.

Her secret tour-ready glow? Naked Sundays’ BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint, CabanaGlow SPF50 Glow Serum Drops, GlowBalm and SPF50 Glow + Go Lip Oil.

For the Aussie businesswoman dubbed the SPF queen, seeing the millennial pop star wear her products was truly what dreams are made of. 

‘As a former TV presenter, I saw a huge gap in the market for makeup infused with SPF that wouldn’t look greasy or leave a white cast on camera, so seeing Hollywood embrace this sun-safe beauty trend feels surreal,’ Samantha told Daily Mail. 

‘As a longtime fan of Hilary Duff, having Kelsey use Naked Sundays on her is a true pinch-me moment for our small Aussie brand… A dream come true.’

The celebrity makeup artist has been working closely with the Aussie brand, showcasing its popular line of SPF products on some of the most famous faces.

Unlike traditional sunscreens that sit on top of makeup, BeautyScreen has become a backstage favourite among celebrity makeup artists, with the SPF-tint hybrid frequently selling out as global demand surges. 

‘For my clients, sun exposure doesn’t just happen at the beach – it happens under lights, on set, travelling, and in all the moments in between,’ Kelsey told Daily Mail.

‘I love working with Naked Sundays because the SPF is built into the products I’m already using, so protection feels natural and effortless.’

She said the products allow her to incorporate sun protection into ‘long days without disrupting the makeup or finish’.

‘It’s essential when you’re working on camera and under lighting,’ Kelsey said.

For Hilary’s radiant tour look, the brief was clear: luminous, healthy-looking skin that could withstand warm stage lights while still appearing natural.

‘We wanted skin that felt effortless – a true California glow that could hold up under warm stage lights without ever looking heavy,’ she explained.

Kelsey began with the BeautyScreen Peptide Foundation Tint SPF50 in shade 4, using it as both skin prep and base.

‘It evens tone just enough while letting real skin show through, and the peptide formula keeps the complexion looking smooth and hydrated throughout the performance,’ she explained. 

Next, the makeup artist layered Naked Sundays Cabana Glow Mineral Glow Serum Drops SPF 50 in the shade bronze over the high points of the face to add warmth and dimension.

‘The glow is subtle but impactful,’ Kelsey said.

To add radiant colour to the cheeks, she opted for Glow Balm in Dusty Rose Pink and Pink Pop for a natural flush that blended effortlessly into the complexion.

‘The balms melt into the skin, adding freshness and dimension without disturbing the base, making everything feel cohesive, fresh and glowing,’ she said.

Finishing off the look, Hilary’s beige-nude lip was topped with the SPF 50 Glow + Go Lip Oil in Salted Caramel for ‘extra hydration and shine’ – without ever feeling heavy.

Fans were excited to see the pop star’s stunning look, with one sharing: ‘This glam is actually unreal.’

‘THIS is what dreams are made of,’ another shared, quoting Lizzie McGuire’s iconic song.

‘The glam team understood the assignment,’ one added.

Many begged Kelsey to share her secret makeup tutorial, with one saying: ‘Hilary looks so beautiful. You absolutely nailed her makeup!’

Founded under the harsh Australian sun, Naked Sundays has rapidly grown into a global leader in the SPF-meets-makeup category, proving that sun protection no longer needs to feel clinical, greasy or inconvenient. 

Samantha has been on a mission to make sun protection wearable, invisible and part of everyday beauty, not an afterthought. 

The Aussie brand has been shaking up the beauty world with its popular SPF50 products – loved by the likes of Khloe Kardashian, Chrishell Stause, Suki Waterhouse and Vanessa Hudgens. 

Last year, IT girl Alix Earle spruiked the ‘holy grail’ BeautyScreen – leaving the Aussie brand struggling to keep up with orders.

Naked Sundays reported a 433 per cent increase in sales after the 24-year-old was seen using the foundation tint in her viral ‘Get Ready With Me’ videos.

‘I always loved a skin tint and I’ve been using Naked Sundays’ BeautyScreen… When I met with my dermatologist doctor, we went through all the ingredients and she approved it for me. She said BeautyScreen is good,’ Alix said.

What Alix loves about the Aussie SPF product is its a lightweight formula, especially after struggling with ‘cakey’ makeup from heavy foundation. 

‘I’ve been using this skin tint for a full glam and light makeup (look),’ she explained.

‘As someone who’s super picky about what they put on their skin and in their makeup routine, I’ve loved this product. My skin is well covered, yet still feels glowy and light.’

The ‘game-changing’ product has been so popular that it sold 50,000 units on launch day in August 2024, with one of its shades being snapped up within minutes.

Just four weeks after launching BeautyScreen, the brand attracted a massive waitlist of 160,000 fans.

And it’s no surprise that the fan-favourite item has racked up nearly 1,000 reviews – including more than 400 five-star ratings.

‘I have been using this since it first came out. Makes life easy as it’s all in one sunscreen and makeup base for me. I love it,’ one raved.

‘I am OBSESSED! I love how dewy and fresh my skin looks and feels! Lightweight, peptides, medium coverage AND SPF50. As someone who stays clear of full coverage foundation, it’s the holy grail for this girlie,’ another shared.

‘This foundation really lives up to its hype. I’m someone with oily skin and I need a lot of coverage… that being said, this tint makes my skin look so beautiful. I couldn’t believe it. It really creates a glow and also covers my imperfections,’ one revealed.

Serving as both makeup and skincare with SPF50, the easy-to-use tinted foundation is infused with skin-loving ingredients, including peptides and antioxidants – leaving the complexion glowing, never greasy.

With celebrity makeup artists now choosing SPF-infused formulas for red carpets, on-stage performances and press tours, this highlights how sun protection has become part of modern beauty routines – beyond beach days.
