Celebrities Wear These 12 Drugstore Beauty Products on the Red Carpet

The Golden Globes and the Oscars are the most glamorous Hollywood events of the year — A-list celebrities sport the most luxurious makeup paired with fabulous outfits crafted by top designers. What’s not to love? And if you think you can’t indulge in red carpet-inspired fashion and cosmetics trends, think again. Surprisingly, many of the beauty products used are actually affordable.

Here are 12 drugstore beauty products to check out that celebrities wear on the red carpet:

1. L’Oreal Colour Riche Matte Lip Liner

This lip liner defines lips without rubbing off or bleeding, giving them a creamy matte color along with a plumped appearance. It’ll help you achieve bold crimson red lips like Rachel Brosnahan at this year’s Golden Globes.

2. Dove Style + Care Smooth & Shine Heat Protection Spray

This heat protection spray defends hair from heat styling damage while also infusing it with lightweight conditioners for smooth, shiny hair. Celebrities rely on this styling product during big red carpet events to keep their hair smooth and shiny all night long.

3. CoverGirl TruBlend Undercover Concealer

This lightweight concealer hides bags, dark circles, and other skin imperfections while shaping and brightening skin. It was awarded Allure’s Best of Beauty 2019 because of its long-lasting staying power. This concealer also comes in over 30 shades, giving those with all different kinds of skin tones lots of options.

4. Burt’s Bees Blush Makeup

This 100% natural, mineral blush is formulated with bamboo, honey, and vitamin E to nourish the skin. It also blends easily and evenly to enhance the skin’s natural glow. Jennifer Hudson sported almost all Burt Bee’s makeup — and primed her skin with their skincare products — during last year’s Oscars.

5. Tresemme Tres Two Extra Hold Mousse

This hair mousse delivers maximum hold and control to volumize hair without stiffness or stickiness —it even helped Amy Adam’s gorgeous wavy hair stay perfectly in place at the Oscars in 2019.

6. Revlon PhotoReady Candid Natural Finish Anti-Pollution Foundation

This unique foundation is made with anti-pollution, antioxidant, and anti-blue-light ingredients to protect and hydrate skin while providing weightless medium coverage for a flawless finish. It’ll give you a natural, glowing complexion like nearly every celebrity at red carpet events.

7. Essie Longwear Nail Polish

This long-lasting two-in-one color and top coat nail polish is both chip and fade resistant, providing even coverage. Your nails will look totally glamorous like all the A-list celebrities!

8. Suave Professionals Sleek Anti-Frizz Smooth & Shine Cream

This hair smoothing cream provides all-day frizz control and shine — its lightweight formula leaves hair up to 100% frizz-free. Noticed how shiny and sleek Saoirse Ronan’s hair was at the Golden Globes? This product will help you nail that same look.

9. Love Beauty And Planet Medium Hold & Volume Coconut Milk & White Jasmine Hair Spray

This hair spray, infused with coconut milk, helps hold unruly hair and volume. Plus, it’s cruelty-free, paraben-free, and alcohol-free. Bebe Rexha has relied on this hair styling product in past red carpet events to give her locks the best hold.

10. Maybelline The City Mini Eyeshadow Palette

This palette features six dramatic shades that are great for creating custom eye makeup looks, like Beanie Feldman’s sultry smokey eyes at this year’s Golden Globes.

11. Neutrogena Precision Liquid Eyeliner

This easy-to-apply liquid eyeliner pen makes achieving the perfect cat-eye easy. Its water-resistant formula glides on evenly and effortlessly for excellent precision. This eyeliner will help you create a boldly striking cat-eye just like Awkwafina at last month’s Golden Globes.

12. Ogx Texture Molding Paste

This super moldable paste holds your style all day long. Blended with aspen bark extract and sandalwood, it helps add definition and increases texture with a natural finish to achieve the same look as Regina King’s hair at the 2019 Oscars.
