Get the Look: Iman’s Timeless CFDA Glam With MERIT Beauty
Iman knows the power of a signature beauty look. The fashion and beauty icon resurrected a 2006 black and white gown featuring a voluminous bow by Isaac Mizrahi for her 2026 CFDA Fashion Awards appearance. The supermodel’s polished, luminous yet minimalist makeup was a reminder that classic glamour never needs to shout to make an entrance.
Celebrity makeup artist Keita Moore created the look with MERIT Beauty. Think fresh-looking skin, warm cheek color, a softly defined eye and a sophisticated neutral lip. Here’s the product lineup—and how to shop it.
