We might not be able to afford Miley Cyrus’s custom Alaïa gown from the Grammys 2025 ceremony, but we can afford her makeup because, as it turns out, the star only wore drugstore products during music’s biggest night.
ICYMI: Miley Cyrus collected her third Grammy ever for “II Most Wanted” with Beyoncé on Feb. 2, 2025, after winning her first-ever award at the ceremony last year, and she made sure to look award-worthy for the event.

Cyrus graced the red carpet wearing a cut-out leather dress by Saint Laurent. On the beauty side, she came in swinging with a jellyfish cut, a variant of the hime cut, which has been trending among celebs as of late, and fierce but subdued makeup of her MUA James Kaliardos and none other than Maybelline.
Described by Kaliardos as a “Powerful Goddess” look, Cyrus’s look was achieved using only products by the popular drugstore brand. And the best part is they are all under $15. So here’s the full breakdown.
First things first, we have to prime. Kaliardos used the Grippy Serum on Cyrus, which helped him create a “flawless base” built up using the viral Instant Age Rewind Concealer (Cyrus’s shade is 120) and the Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation (in the shade 150) for a “luminous matte finish.” Kaliardos shared that he focused the concealer on the under-eye area and the center of Cyrus’s face only.
