Here Are the Exact Products Used to Create Our Favorite Makeup Looks at the VMAs

Whether or not it’s official, every award show has a theme. That rang true at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards. Sartorially, the theme (much like Taylor Swift’s new album) could be described as midnight—nearly every star on the red carpet was wearing black or a dark hue. 

For beauty, there were plenty of different looks, but the common tropes that kept cropping up over and over again were smoky eyes and bold lips. Whether they were paired together like in Lizzo’s look or worn separately like in Taylor Swift’s and Dove Cameron’s, these makeup trends stole the show.

You could attempt to blend shades of blue to imitate Lizzo’s navy lips or find a dupe for Cameron’s neutral shimmery eye makeup, or you could re-create their looks using the exact products. Below, we’ve rounded up the same products these celebrities’ makeup artists used on them. Keep reading for breakdowns of our favorite makeup looks.
