When stars are walking down the Met Gala pink carpet in one-of-a-kind gowns, you might expect that the beauty products they're wearing are as exclusive as their clothes, but fortunately, many celebrities' glam teams opt to use affordable items from the drugstore.
This year, celebrities achieved their on-theme campy looks thanks to brightly coloured nail polishes, fuchsia lipsticks, and dry shampoos — for as little as $8, $3, $5, respectively. If celebrity makeup artists and hairstylists choose to use these items for the biggest event of the year, they're sure work for your everyday life.
Check out the products – all under $13 — ahead.
