The 13 Beauty Products Under $25 That Celebs Wore at the 2025 Grammys

Including Doechii’s $13 hair foam and Miley Cyrus’s long-lasting lip tint

By

Here at Bazaar, we’re always keeping our eyes peeled for showstopping beauty and fashion looks, and last night’s 2025 Grammy Awards ceremony was no exception. Red-carpet prep ahead of award shows for skin, nails, hair, and makeup gets a bad rap for being overly luxe and expensive, but not every celebrity routine comes with a hefty price tag.

Top professionals count bestsellers under $25 from brands like e.l.f. Cosmetics, Briogeo, Maybelline New York, and Ilia Beauty among the must-haves in their kits—evidence that creating impactful beauty doesn’t have to be expensive. Looking for more proof? We’ve rounded up some of the key products stars wore to the 2025 Grammys, from Sabrina Carpenter’s $13 moisture-locking body spray to Doechii’s budget-friendly Grammys hair essentials.

Wicked star Cynthia Erivo wore a monochromatic chocolate makeup look on the red carpet and Grammys stage that included a blend of two e.l.f. Cosmetics foundations. “She called me literally two hours before glam and said, ‘What do you think about a fully brown look? Like, including brown lashes?’ ” celebrity artist Joanna Simkin said in a statement about the star’s beauty look. “I’m always into tonal makeup, so I immediately agreed. I loved that it came together as a last-minute idea that worked so well.”

Singer Olivia Rodrigo’s Grammys beauty look was largely inspired by the ’90s era. “Olivia’s vintage Versace moment called for a nod to the ’90s—effortless, sultry, and undeniably cool,” celebrity artist Melissa Hernandez says of her makeup. “We wanted the makeup to feel polished yet lived in, balancing soft definition with a youthful edge. The liner adds structure, while the skin remains fresh and radiant, creating a look that feels both timeless and of the moment.”

Ilia Beauty

Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Clario’s red-carpet makeup was crafted by celebrity artist Amber Dreadon, using bestsellers from Ilia Beauty. “The overall vibe for Clairo’s look was a touch of Bettie Page,” Dreadon said in a statement. “[We kept] it new and minimal with subtle luminous textures and a winged eye that is more 90 degree angle than a classic retro wing might be.”

In addition to wearing makeup from Maybelline New York, Miley Cyrus had a layered jellyfish hairstyle that was perfected by celebrity stylist Bob Recine for Nexxus. “Miley isn’t a fan of heavy hair sprays and gels, so I used the Nexxus Repair & Nourish Ultra Lightweight Hair Oil. It gives a glassy mirror reflective shine,” he told Bazaar. “I really like using this product in particular because it brings back the elasticity and nourishes strands.”
