If you were under the impression that you need a squad of hairstylists, makeup artists, manicurists, and the equivalent of an entire beauty counter to look as glam as a celebrity, we have news for you.

That means that even if you only have $5 and five minutes to run into CVS, you can still snag a bit of award-winning sophistication. Read on to see some of the best and most affordable products used behind the scenes this year.
