Serena Williams has the best — and cutest — makeup artists at home.

Williams, 43, took to Instagram on Thursday, May 15, to share an adorable clip of her daughters Alexis Olympia Ohanian, 7, and Adira River Ohanian, 16 months, doing her makeup. In the clip, Williams, who shares her little ones with her husband Alexis Ohanian, started with a fresh face, letting Adira tap concealer into her cheek using a brush.

“My makeup artist here,” Williams said to the camera, as Alexis gushed off screen, “Perfect! Now some blush.”

Alexis decided to practice her talent on a mannequin head instead of her mom, using a beauty blender to apply blush to the faux face.
