Who says you have to be a celebrity to get in on the red carpet treatment? If you've run into a beauty rut or could just use a little pick-me-up, treat yourself to a touch of luxe with the ever-growing range of plush and extremely posh velvet-textured beauty products.
From the shadow stick that can take you to Hollywood in just one sweep to the lipstick that doubles as a plumper and filler (no injections required!), keep reading to see some of the cushy cosmetics that will upgrade your clutch (er, makeup bag) and look in no time.
Zelens Extreme Velvet Lipstick
This lipstick from Dr. Marko Lens's active color collection contains tripeptide (a natural collagen stimulant), along with ultra filling spheres and hyaluronic acid to help plump up lips and smooth out wrinkles for more pronounced and even application. It's also formulated with antioxidants (such as vitamin E) for keeping your pucker moisturized and protected with every swipe.
Nars Velvet Shadow Stick
Nars's versatile shadow stick glides on easily so you don't have to press down on your eye in order to make an impact and can be worn as a liner or shadow. Apply a sweep of Hollywoodland along the upper and lower lash lines for a touch of glam (it doubles as a highlighter!), or add a little smoke to your look with Flibuste. The stick is also a twist up so you don't need to worry about sharpening on the go.

Japonesque Color Velvet Touch Primer
This gel-based primer from Japonesque's color collection is super lightweight and easy to apply. It creates a smooth foundation for makeup so you don't need to worry about any rough spots, and it is matte so it helps control shine throughout the day.
Ulta Beauty Velvet Blush
This creamy blush from Ulta Beauty offers big color payoff without having to put in much effort. Just sweep a light amount (you can use your fingers) along the cheekbone to achieve a dewy, natural radiance. You can also dab some on your lips to complete your look.
Marc Jacobs Beauty Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara
This paraben-free mascara is formulated with a highly concentrated pigment and a flash volume complex that works with its curvy and complex brush to deliver smudge-proof, bombshell-like volume. We suggest adding an extra coat or two for full effect.
Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation
This mousse-like foundation from Maybelline allows you to achieve a soft matte finish without leaving skin looking or feeling dry. We like how the formula is buildable so you can customize the amount of coverage depending on your needs from day to day.
Catrice Cosmetics Velvet Matte Lip Cream
This budget-friendly lip cream goes on silky, dries to a beautiful matte texture, and features a built-in applicator for creating a clean shape, no liner necessary. You'll want to scoop one up in every shade. Rose Your Voice and Plumming Bird are our current favorites.
Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil
Urban Decay's eye (and lip) pencils have become a cult beauty favorite for their easy glide yet still-precise formulas. This one takes it to the next level, with a velvety texture that's easy to apply and manipulate for a variety of looks that smolder.
