When it came to the best beauty looks from the 2021 Grammys, Lizzo’s statement look was at the top of every list. Everything about the look was utter perfection, from her hair clips to her soft glam. According to her go-to MUA, Alexx Mayo, when it came to the look, he wanted “to contrast the softness of the Balmain gown with a striking, smoky feline shape, kissable soft lips, and a statement lash.” And to do so, he relied on his fave drugstore lash brand: “The Kiss Lash Couture Matte Black Faux Mink, $8, lashes helped me achieve maximum glam and depth around her lashes.” We’re sold!

Hailey Bieber is a fellow beauty lover, so we always love hearing her beauty recommendations. Recently, she spilled the deets on her fave detangling hair solution. Hailey told Elle, “My hair is really fine, so it gets knotty out of the shower. It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner, $21, works well at detangling for me, and it’s not too greasy either.”

Meg Thee Stallion stole the show at the 2021 Grammys, and she did it with a full face of drugstore makeup. To create her smoldering smokey eye, she used the Revlon So Fierce! Prismatic Eye Shadow Palette in Clap Back, $10, with the ColorStay Looks Book Eyeshadow Palette in Maverick, $9, and finished it off with the So Fierce! Chrome Ink Liquid Liner in Gunmetal, $13. We recently tried the So Fierce! Prismatic Eye Shadow Palette in Clap Back, $10, and we fell in love with the bouncy texture and intense pigment payoff – it literally melts onto your lid and has the most stunning finish.

To create her signature ’90s lip look, Meg lined her lips with ColorStay Lip Liner in Chocolate, $8, and added a top coat of the Super Lustrous The Gloss in Crystal Clear, $8.

In an interview with Refinery29, Laverne Cox recently revealed that her ride-or-die mascara is the L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara, $13, which is also Beyonce’s fave. She said, “That mascara is so good. It’s good for the upper lashes, where I just do two or three coats. For bottom ones, it’s like one coat, and you’re gorgeous.” We can confirm she’s right; it leaves your lashes looking SO full, thick, and voluminous in just a couple of coats.
