These Beauty Products Ruled the Grammys — and Cost Under $40
When it comes to sourcing new beauty inspiration, we can always count on the Grammys to introduce us to a new product or show-stopping trend. This year’s ceremony not only saw the return of some old favorites — like Taylor Swift’s trusted red lip and the controversial jellyfish haircut — but it also introduced us to a slew of new celeb-approved beauty products, including some affordable surprises (we’re talking under $40!).
While celebrity glam is more typically associated with high-end, luxury beauty products, many celebrities opted to use more budget-friendly products for their Grammys 2025 looks. Cynthia Erivo used a $5 eyeliner to create her decadent, mocha-hued eye contour; Charli XCX tamed her voluminous curls with the help of a $9 styling creme; and even Miley Cyrus relied on an $11 lip tint to perfect her award-show pout.
Ahead, we rounded up the best affordable beauty products under $40 that music’s biggest stars relied on for the 2025 Grammys. From drugstore favorites to hair-care staples and plenty of editor-approved skin-care products in between, these beauty must haves will make it easy to achieve an A-list glam — even if you’re on a budget.
