Lady Gaga
The Look: Rockstar Eyeliner
Like the rest of the world (and practically all award-show committees this year), we live for Lady Gaga. We also adore this rockstar-inspired look by makeup artist Sarah Tanno using Marc Jacobs Beauty. It featured messy black liner and a glossy nude lip, which coordinated perfectly with the star's disheveled platinum waves.
Marc Jacobs' Highliner is basically one of the best eyeliners we've ever tried, so we were delighted to discover that Tanno used this as the base for Gaga's imperfectly smudged smoky eye. She applied the gel eye crayon in "Blacquer" on the outer corners of her eyes and smudged the liner so it "looked like she put it on yesterday."
She also used the Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette in Steel(etto) to complete her eye look. On the lips, she swiped on Enamored Hydrating Lip Gloss Stick in Sugar Sugar for a glossy nude finish.
Miley Cyrus
The Look: Mermaid Waves
We are so here for Miley's latest look. Her vibe at the Grammys was effortlessly chic, with subtle makeup and beautifully sideswept mermaid waves.
With the Beachwaver, textured waves do not require a professional hairstylist! Recreate Miley's epic mermaid waves by using a styling tool like this one, which automatically curls the hair at the touch of a button.
Cardi B
The Look: Magenta Smoky Eye With Lush Lashes
Say what you want about Cardi B's vintage Mugler dress, but we can't get over how good her magenta smokey eye, created by makeup artist Erika La Pearl, looked on the Grammys red carpet.
La Pearl used the Pat McGrath Mothership Palette to blend out a striking magenta smoky eye on Cardi B. We loved everything about the statement look, especially these lush falsies by Lilly Lashes. La Pearl applied the "So Extra Miami" style on Cardi, which pulled the look together beautifully. So extra in the best way!
Camila Cabello
The Look: Soft Romance
Camila Cabello stunned on the red carpet with this soft, romantic look. It was one of the more subtle looks in a night full of glitter and glamour, but we loved it!
Makeup artist Allan Avendano used one of our favorite mascaras on Cabello to give her that doe-eyed look. The L'Oréal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara is a drugstore buy we can't get enough of and we love to see celebs sporting our favorite budget buys!
Dua Lipa
The Look: Sleek Bob
Dua Lipa gave us serious 90s supermodel vibes with her perfectly styled sleek bob and her brown throwback lipstick. Click through to see which product her glam squad used to get this look!
Fekkai Fekkai Full Blown Volume Dry Texturizing Spray
Stylist Sami Knight perfected Dua Lipa's glassy bob with Fekkai's Full Blown Volume collection, including the Lightweight Styling Whip. We're also big fans of the brand's Dry Texturizing Spray, which Knight recommends adding to this look to switch things up for the after party!
Aside from her chic hair, the other star of this makeup is her lipstick. Celebrity makeup artist Lilly Keys used Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution lipstick in Super Nineties. Love!
Kelsea Ballerini
The Look: Bright Lips
Electric orange alert! While we saw a lot of soft pink lipsticks on the Grammys red carpet, bright statement lips were also having a moment. Kelsey Ballerini’s tangerine pout was the pop of color we were craving.
Makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan used a combination of two iconic products to create Ballerini’s lip look. First, she prepped the lips with the eos Dazzling Ruby Lip Tint to hydrate and add a hint of color. She finished the lips with a healthy dose of Charlotte Tilbury’s Tell Laura lipstick to complete that statement-making color.
Kacey Musgraves
The Look: Rose Gold Glow
We love everything about this Grammy winner's glimmering rosy-toned look, but the one thing that stood out the most was how beautifully her skin glowed on the red carpet.
To coordinate with her Grammy-winning album Golden Hour, makeup artist Moani Lee dusted Musgraves' complexion with Pat McGrath Labs Sublime Skin Highlighting Trio. It gave her that lit-from-within-glow that we're always trying to copy at home!
Katy Perry
The Look: Pretty in Pink
Katy Perry stunned in a pinky monochromatic makeup look, created entirely using COVERGIRL products by makeup artist Michael Anthony.
Want to look like Katy Perry for around 5 bucks? Grab this stunning matte lippie by COVERGIRL! Anthony popped on this lipstick in Pink Paws to create her darling pink pout for the Grammys.
Andra Day
The Look: Retro Glitter Eyeshadow
Andra Day showed up on that red carpet ready to make a serious statement. We love the retro vibe of her makeup, especially that Twiggy-inspired glitter look on her lids!
Makeup artist Porsche created Day's stunning glitter look by using two coats of Stila's Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Perlina from the lash line to the crease. This product is one of our absolute favorites, so we loved seeing it sparkle on the red carpet!
