"Champagne taste on a beer budget" doesn't usually apply to well-heeled celebrities, but even stars aren't immune to the charms of a good drugstore beauty haul. Case in point: the MTV Movie and TV Awards red carpet, which was dotted with many stars wearing affordable makeup — and nailing the style game while doing so. From Zendaya's chic, slicked-back wet hair to Alisha Boe repping the official eye shadow hue of Summer, you can see the most accessible makeup of the MTV Movie and TV Awards, ahead.
Alisha Boe
Who says neutrals are boring? Not 13 Reasons Why's Alisha Boe, who stunned in a barefaced-but-make-it-glam look courtesy of Beau Nelson. The makeup artist used a mix of shades from Maybelline New York's Lemonade Craze Palette ($14) on Boe's lids. The light citrus hues perfectly complemented her bronzed cheeks and rosy lips.
Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore showed us all how sleek is done with a tight, slicked-back pony done by hairstylist Ashley Streicher. Summer flyaways were pretty much non-existent around the crown of her head, which was straightened by the Pro Tools Beauty XL Copper Digital Straightener ($36).
Zendaya
We wish our post-shower morning-commute hair looked as glam as Zendaya's take on the tricky wet-looking trend does. Stylist Ursula Stephen used a mix of Suave Professionals Avocado & Olive Oil Smoothing Leave-In Conditioning Cream ($4), Tresemme Compressed Smooth Hold Hairspray Level 2 ($5), and Dove Style + Care Smooth & Shine Heat Protection Spray ($5) to do the deed.
Kristen Bell
Turns out, Kristen Bell is a fan of your grandma's favourite lip-hydrating hack. Simone Siegl, the actress's makeup artist, smeared Vaseline Lip Therapy Aloe Tin ($6) over her lips to keep things moist and pouty before applying a rose-bronze colour.
Yara Shahidi
Yara Shahidi's longtime manicurst Emi Kudo paired the actress's periwinkle Tory Burch pantsuit with the mocha-toned Essie Wild Nudes ($9) shade.
Olivia Munn
Nothing to see here, just Olivia Munn in the ethereal messy ponytail of our dreams. Stylist John D brushed Tresemmé Unscented Dry Shampoo ($5) into Munn's hair to keep things looking purposefully undone and pillow-soft.
