"Champagne taste on a beer budget" doesn't usually apply to well-heeled celebrities, but even stars aren't immune to the charms of a good drugstore beauty haul. Case in point: the MTV Movie & TV Awards red carpet, which was dotted with many stars wearing affordable makeup — and nailing the style game while doing so. From Zendaya's chic, slicked-back wet hair to Alisha Boe repping the official eye shadow hue of Summer, you can see the most accessible makeup of the MTV Movie & TV Awards, ahead.
Alisha Boe
Who says neutrals are boring? Not 13 Reasons Why's Alisha Boe, who stunned in a barefaced-but-make-it-glam look courtesy of Beau Nelson. The makeup artist used a mix of shades from Maybelline New York's Lemonade Craze Palette ($14) on Boe's lids. The light citrus hues perfectly complemented her bronzed cheeks and rosy lips.
Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore showed us all how sleek is done with a tight, slicked-back pony done by hairstylist Ashley Streicher. Summer flyaways were pretty much non-existent around the crown of her head, which was straightened by the Pro Beauty Tools XL Copper Digital Straightener ($36).
Zendaya
We wish our post-shower morning-commute hair looked as glam as Zendaya's take on the tricky wet-looking trend does. Stylist Ursula Stephen used a mix of Suave Professionals Avocado & Olive Oil Smoothing Leave-In Conditioning Cream ($4), Tresemme Compressed Smooth Hold Hairspray Level 2 ($5), and Dove Style + Care Smooth & Shine Heat Protection Spray ($5) to do the deed.
Kristen Bell
Turns out, Kristen Bell is a fan of your grandma's favorite lip-hydrating hack. Simone Siegl, the actress's makeup artist, smeared Vaseline Lip Therapy Aloe Tin ($6) over her lips to keep things moist and pouty before applying a rose-bronze color.
Yara Shahidi
Yara Shahidi's longtime manicurst Emi Kudo paired the actress's periwinkle Tory Burch pantsuit with the mocha-toned Essie Wild Nudes ($9) shade.
Olivia Munn
Nothing to see here, just Olivia Munn in the ethereal messy ponytail of our dreams. Stylist John D brushed Tresemmé Unscented Dry Shampoo ($5) into Munn's hair to keep things looking purposefully undone and pillow-soft.
