Phaedra Parks always looks so glamorous! And the glam worked in her favor during her time on The Traitors, with makeup helping her stay in the game.

While the Real Housewives of Atlanta comeback queen ultimately did not win the season, she did manage to hang on. And she looked flawless her entire time there. 

The Traitors Makeup Hack

During season 2 of the hit Peacock show, Phaedra was tapped as a Traitor. It was her mission to trick the Faithfuls. They had to believe she was one of them so that she and her fellow Traitors could steal the prize money and emerge victorious.

The game works with players voting to banish someone from the day at the end of each day. They attempt to banish a Traitor so that by the end only Faithfuls remain. At night, when everyone goes to bed, the Traitors come out to play to decide who to “murder” (i.e. send home). 

Phaedra outlasted some of her fellow Traitors. She told PEOPLE that her survival was largely thanks to a makeup hack that she used during her stay. 

She explained that fellow players began to suspect that whoever looked tired in the morning was probably a Traitor since they were up all night planning their devious deeds. So they looked closely at everyone and she had to make sure she looked fresh and rested.

“I was like, let me make sure to get up at 4 a.m. and have my eyes concealed and look absolutely amazing,” Phaedra explained. “Because people were looking so close at everyone in the mornings. When the girls would come in, if they looked a little haggard they would say, ‘She’s got to be a Traitor. She didn’t get any sleep. Look at the bags under her eyes.’ So when they’d say that I was like, ‘Oh my God, look, I’m so rested.’”

It’s a great way to use makeup to her advantage. Phaedra recently partnered with IT Cosmetics and considers herself an “amateur makeup artist” and self-proclaimed makeup “hack girl.” She confirms she did her own makeup for her time on Traitors.

“I did that makeup every day,” Phaedra said. “I did my makeup and most of the other cast’s makeup.” Whenever the other girls asked her to do their makeup, she’d reply, “Get in my chair.”

TELL US – DO YOU THINK PHAEDRA’S HACK WAS A GOOD IDEA? DID YOU THINK SHE WOULD CROSS THE FINISH LINE DURING THE TRAITORS?
