Jacob Schwartz’s Formula for Deep, Glossy Black
While her BRAT ERA embraced chaos and imperfection, Charli XCX’s night at the 2025 Grammys was defined by success—eight nominations, two wins and a high-energy performance. To match the moment, Jacob Schwartz (@jacobschwartzhair) created a flawlessly sleek, inky black look that radiated star power.
IGORA VIBRANCE® by Schwarzkopf Professional® delivered the deep saturation and multidimensional shine needed for Charli’s look. By blending rich brown and black tones, Jacob created a high-impact shade that appeared jet black—keeping her look luxe, bold and flawless all night.
