The 66th annual Grammy Awards are officially here, which means all of our favorite artists are taking to the red carpet as we speak. While rumors have been swirling regarding just what to expect out of tonight’s award show—will Taylor Swift perform, will SZA sweep her nine nominations—it’s already abundantly clear that the singers and songwriters are showing up and showing out when it comes to glam.
One of our favorite country girlies and previous cover star, Kelsea Ballerini, has been rocking it at every award show, with looks ranging from Old Hollywood chic to understated and edgy. For tonights 2024 Grammy Awards, the Best Country Album nominee is sporting a slicked-back pony and plum, smokey eye look that is complimented perfectly by this $4 lipstick and gloss combo.
Grammys 2024: Kelsea Ballerini’s Drugstore Glam
Thanks to Ballerini’s makeup artist, Kelsey Deenihan, we got an inside look via Instagram into the products used to create the singer’s Grammys glam. A partner of the brand, Deenihan opted for a totally CoverGirl look, and the array of products used to add shimmer and shine to our country girl’s glam were all equally affordable and effective.
While products like the iconic Lashblast Cleantopia Mascara ($9) and the Clean Fresh Color Eyeshadow ($14) are on display in Deenihan’s vanity shot, the real star of Ballerini’s look was her subtle yet juicy pinkish-neutral lip courtesy of two, under-$10 lip products. As a base, Deenihan went in with the Covergirl Exhibitionist Lipstick Cream ($4) in what appears to be shade Caramel Kiss 240. On top, as featured in Ballerini’s glam-teasing Instagram story, is the brand’s Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss ($6) in what looks like shade Laugh-vender.
