The bargain beauty buys that celebrities are obsessed with

Forget 'Team Paxton' or 'Team Ben'; when it comes to Netflix's Never Have I Ever, we're 'Team Maitreyi Ramakrishnan's eyeliner'. And blessedly, the one she relies on is a serious steal. "The winged eyeliner is my signature look. I can never do a subtle eyeliner; it has to be the wing. [My] staple is NYX's Epic Ink Liner ($15 at Beauty Bay)," she told Glamour. "It's so good and has the best pigment; it is the darkest black and is so easy to control."

The youngest Kar-Jenner revealed in an interview with Violet Grey, “my makeup room has all these drawers filled with makeup that I just rarely touch because I use the same stuff every day.” And while she may generally pull from her own Kylie Cosmetics range when putting a makeup look together, the star has shared that she often relies on a budget blush: the Fit Me! Blush from Maybelline to be exact, which you can pick up from your local pharmacy. It seems Jenner loves a steal as much as the rest of us.

While we may not all be blessed with Cline's full (but yes, natural) lips, that doesn't mean we can't fake the look with her lippy of choice. The Outer Banks star relies on Buxom's Full Force Plumping Lipstick in the shade 'Fly Girl' (a caramel-coloured '90s nude) to get her pout looking plump and polished – in fact, it's the very colour she wore on the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards carpet. It's a hydrating hyaluronic acid-infused formula that's amazing for smoothing lip lines and adding believable-looking volume, and at just $26, it's a total steal.

There are beauty products that you love, and then there are beauty products that you love so much you can’t possibly leave home without them. Well, for Steinfeld, this cute-as-can-be Batiste Original Dry Shampoo can is the latter. Chatting to British Vogue about her handbag essentials, she didn’t mince words about its role in her on-the-go routine: “[I always carry] some dry hair shampoo, because, essential.” And at just $4.50, you can spritz the stuff to your heart’s content; a restock won’t set you back much at all.

With a lengthy stint as a beauty editor under her belt, it should come as no shock that Foster Blake's recommendations are basically gold in our eyes. And when you can get said gold for just $14, it's even better. "Hi plz enjoy the lip colour I've worn for the past five days. It's a matte crayon that is orange-y red, lasts and is v cheerful. It's cheap as, I bought it from Morphe, and the shade is 'btw'. K bye!" she shared via an Instagram Story. Um, sold.

Considering her status as one of the world's most in-demand models, it's no surprise that Hadid needs a sturdy makeup remover to take her face off at the end of a shoot day. What is a little bit surprising (and amazing if you value a bargain buy), however, is that her formula of choice goes for less than 11 bucks (and less than seven if you know where to shop). She recently took to Instagram Stories to share her 'post-shoot skin care lineup' and the first step was none other than the Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, which is an absolute winner in our books too.

Addison Rae may be one of TikTok's top earning creators, but that doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate a budget buy. Her fave bargain-status brand? New Zealand brand Monday Haircare, the highly Insta-worthy (and highly hydrating) shampoo and conditioner line that you can find at your local Coles. Hairstylist @daniellepriano revealed she prepped Rae's glossy mane with it prior to a recent performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and we must say, it looked better than ever.

Beckham may have bougie taste in some arenas, but when it comes to her moisturiser of choice, it's bargain all the way - she slathers Weleda Skin Food all over her body. "It keeps your skin so hydrated and moisturised. It's really, really thick and I love how it feels all over the body - it's a really great product". You wouldn't know the price was low by the feel of the formula, either - it's velvety soft (and ironically, that's also how it leaves your skin).

The ex Pretty Little Liars star already has one of the most striking sets of eyes in Hollywood, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t call upon a hard-working mascara to make her peepers pop even more. Mitchell revealed she loves CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara not only for the formula’s namesake lash-plumping effects, but because of its exceptional root lifting brush, too. 

As a beauty mogul and one of Hollywood's most famous faces, Kardashian West could have access to any cleanser she set her sights on. Her favourite though - Cetaphil's Gentle Cleanser - rings in at just 14 bucks. Very exciting for those of us keen to replicate her routine - and seeing as she admits she tends to follow it with a $630 serum we think we'll stick with just the face wash for now.

Jones' much-loved Mad Men character Betty Draper wasn't the only one who understood the importance of a reliable hairspray - the actress behind the brilliant bouffant has her favourite, too. She's been using L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray for around 20 years because it holds her style, leaves her locks shiny and doesn’t weigh down her hair. 

Lanolips 101 Ointment is a beloved beauty bag staple for many of us Aussies, but its popularity also stretches across the pond. Miller loves using the multipurpose pure-grade lanolin ointment during the cold U.K. winter to help combat dry, flaky lips. We wonder if she knows it works just as well on cracked heals, minor cuts and nail cuticles, too?

It’s usually the Duchess of Cambridge’s impeccable hair that grabs our attention, but the mother of three also has an extremely enviable complexion. And after she was spotted in U.K. retailer Boots purchasing a jar of NIVEA Pure & Natural Regenerating Night Cream a few years back, it appears replicating her royal radiance isn’t actually out of reach for us ordinary folk.

Being a movie star, mother and wellness guru is a tough gig, so we’re not surprised to hear Paltrow sometimes finds herself reaching for dry shampoo when she doesn't have time to wash and blow-dry her hair. Her favourite? Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo. It soaks up any unwanted grease, and gives her strands instant volume.
