Megan Thee Stallion was one of our best-dressed picks at the 2023 MTV VMAs. And it wasn't just her sheer strapless column gown and diamond choker that captivated us, it was also her makeup! In true Megan Thee Stallion fashion, every inch of her look was pure perfection, and the secret to her flawless red carpet skin is much more affordable than you'd think.

Megan is a Revlon ambassador, so she and makeup artist Lauren Elise Child used a variety of products from the legendary drugstore brand to sculpt her VMAs look, starting with the Illuminance Skin-Caring Foundation in shades 601, 409 and 509 on both her face and her body.

The foundation is formulated with ingredients squalane and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and moisturize skin and keep it looking plump and radiant. It's subtly blurring and comes in more than 20 shades, but the best part? It rings up for less than $11 on Amazon, so it's an affordable option to add to your makeup bag — not to mention one with skin care benefits.

According to Child and Revlon's official Instagram, Megan set the foundation with ColorStay Blot Setting Powder and Lock Setting Mist and used Skin Lights Prismatic Highlighter in 202 Twilight Gleam on the high points of her face and body for extra gleam under the red carpet lights.

The rest of Megan Thee Stallion's VMAs look was also courtesy Revlon, including Super Lustrous Lipstick in Champagne on Ice and Bare It All topped with Super Lustrous The Gloss in Crystal Clear. Sounds like it's time for a drugstore run! If a product wins Megan's seal of approval, I'm so in.
