The Met Gala is known as the ‘Superbowl of fashion’ thanks to its A-list celebrity guest list and fashion theme, but there are also plenty of major beauty looks that come from the event.
One beauty look that had viewers talking was supermodel Kendall Jenner, who wowed on the red carpet in sky high platforms and a sequin bodysuit, which she teamed with a dewy, fresh-faced glow as she walked the red carpet.
Although having glowing skin comes with the job when you’re a model, fans of Kendall’s were thrilled to discover that her entire beauty look was done using products from L’Oréal Paris – and they all cost less than £20.
Kendall’s makeup artist Mary Phillips shared the secrets behind Kendall’s full Met Gala look over on her Instagram account, and revealed she started with the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 1.5% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum, £16.60 here, to prepare Kendall’s skin.

The serum restores radiance and hydration to the skin for a plumped up, smooth effect that’s perfect for applying makeup on top of. Applying a hyaluronic serum helps directly restore moisture to your skin that is otherwise stripped away by environmental aggressors such as pollution and UV rays to leave your skin try and tight.
Mary paired the Hyaluronic Acid Serum with the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid + 1% Caffeine Eye Serum, £16.74 here, to help brighten under Kendall’s eyes and reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles and puffiness.
The final step in Kendall’s Met Gala skincare prep was the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives Line-Plumping Water Cream, £24.99 here, which replumps the skin and wrinkles, and penetrates deeper through the skin's surface layers to fill lines and wrinkles from within.
For her makeup, Mary stuck to L’Oréal Paris products, using a combination of the Infallible 24 Hour Fresh Wear Foundation in 425 and 455, £11.99 here, and applying the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Full Wear Concealer, £8.99 here, mixing the shades Vanilla, Cashmere, and Biscuit to achieve a perfect colour match for Kendall’s skin.
To add definition, Mary applied the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Soft Matte Bronzer in Medium, £12.99 here, and finished off with a rosy glow on Kendall’s cheeks courtesy of the L’Oréal Paris True Match Super Blendable Blush in shade Tender Rose, £8.99 here. Her skin was then set using L’Oréal Paris Infallible Foundation Powder in Vanilla, £12.99 here.
For Kendall’s perfect dark nude lip colour, Mary lined her lips in L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Matte Lip Liner Au Naturale, £5.99 here, before finishing off with the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte in Le Nude Admirable, £9.99 here, which adds volume to your lips.
