Drugstore Beauty Products at the 2017 Oscars
10 Drugstore Products That Made Stars Look Like a Million Bucks at the Oscars
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
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. Some of the most gorgeous looks at the 2017 Oscars were actually created with products you can find at the drugstore. 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.
