You don’t always need a full glam squad to ~glow up~ on the weekends. The proof? This bomb beauty look Vanessa Hudgens’ celebrity makeup artist Allan Avendaño created on the actress. Sure there are a few items that fall on the more expensive side, but the majority of the products used are actually incredibly affordable. Take for example, Maybelline’s limited edition Summer McKeen lip gloss that perfectly tops off this lewk and only retails for $5.94.
Besides a glossy finish, you need a couple of priming creams, an eyeshadow palette and of course, a contouring kit. Keep reading to see which products you need to add to your cart in order to recreate this classic beauty look…
Herbivore Pink Cloud Rosewater Moisture Creme
Begin your glam by preparing your skin with a moisturizing cream. MUA Allan Avendaño’s go-to is Herbivore’s pink cloud rosewater moisture creme that hydrates, plumps and smooths the skin before makeup application. Its varying ingredients—rosewater, aloe water and white tea extract—also reduce redness.
It’s not just your face that needs to be prepped before applying makeup—your lips need some loving, too. This lip conditioner combines organic virgin coconut oil and rose absolute for a powerful concoction that smooths and softens lips. Pro-tip: Use this if you can’t resist a matte lip.
There’s a reason why this foundation is a favorite among celebrity makeup artists. It’s a buildable, full-coverage formula that lasts 24-hours and has a matte finish so don’t expect to use your blotting wipes!
Correctly conceal your skin with this palette that’s packing with shades that work to hide scars and sunspots. Featuring a selection of 12 hues that range from yellow and salmon to green and orange, you’ll be able to contour and cover whatever your needs require.
