When stars are walking down the Met Gala pink carpet [1] 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 [2] from the drugstore.
This year, celebrities achieved their on-theme campy looks thanks to brightly coloured [3] 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.
