Makeup. Star Power.
By Sumita Chakraborty | TheGlitz.media
…Some makeup just sits pretty. And then there’s makeup that walks red carpets, gets papped coming out of luxury spas, and travels in designer carry-ons next to diamond-studded sunglasses. It’s not just makeup, it’s celebrity-grade glam in a bottle.
We’re talking about the holy grails of the rich and ridiculously famous, the beauty buys they don’t just endorse for a paycheck, but swear by, hoard, and (occasionally) panic over when out of stock.
Ready for the glow down? These are the cult favorites that keep stars looking paparazzi-proof and perpetually radiant. At TheGlitz, we believe makeup isn’t just about coverage… it’s about confidence, charisma, and a whole lot of camera-ready charm. So, whether you’re channeling your inner diva or just want that everyday superstar glow, these celeb-loved staples are your ultimate glam guide.
So we raided red carpets, stalked glam squads, and eavesdropped on beauty chairs to bring you the inside scoop on what your favourite stars actually use and adore. Ready for a glow-up? Let’s dive in…
Makeup Divas
Alia Bhatt: Bare-Faced Brilliance
Her skin? Ethereal. Her vibe? Girl-next-door meets global goddess. Alia is indeed the reigning queen of minimal glam, and she’s got the makeup bag to match.
Her ride-or-dies? Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream, and the eternally chic Pillow Talk lipstick… a nude so good, it’s practically royal. She also flirts with Ilia Beauty’s skin tints for that fresh, dewy “I-woke-up-like-this-in-the-Maldives” glow. Less is more, and Alia makes it haute.
Deepika Padukone: Luxe, With a Lash Flick
When Deepika walks into a room, the lighting changes. The global face of L’Oréal Paris, she’s a devotee of their Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Foundation, flawless, breathable, and perfect for time zones that change faster than your mood.
Off-duty? You’ll find her reaching for Anastasia Brow Wiz, a velvety Tom Ford foundation, and that flutter-inducing Voluminous Lash Paradise mascara. Brows sharp. Skin divine. Eyes? Magnetic.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas: Global Glam Galore
PeeCee doesn’t just play the beauty game, she owns the arena. The face of Max Factor, she champions their Facefinity All Day Flawless Foundation like a second skin. But when she’s not slaying Met Gala steps, she’s got NARS Orgasm blush on her cheeks and Fenty Gloss Bomb on her pout.
Oh, and her highlighter? Straight from the heavens, Becca’s Shimmering Skin Perfector, a glow so extra it needs its own trailer.
Kareena Kapoor Khan: Icon Energy
Let’s all rise for Bebo, the original glam queen. Kareena doesn’t just follow trends, she mothered them. Her classics? Lakmé Absolute Lip Pouts, her ride-or-die M.A.C Ruby Woo, and a velvety complexion courtesy Chanel Les Beiges.
But when the mood calls for boujee, she breaks out the La Prairie Skin Caviar Foundation, because luxury isn’t a splurge, it’s a lifestyle.
Ananya Panday: Gen-Z Gloss & Glow
If dopamine glam had a poster girl, it’s Ananya. This Maybelline ambassador serves fresh-faced fabulous with Rare Beauty Liquid Blush, Glossier Boy Brow, and that always-viral Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (yes, she wears it as lip balm… genius!).
Think blushy cheeks, juicy lips, and a “just scrolled TikTok for 3 hours but make it chic” finish.
Kim Kardashian: Contour Royalty
Bow down. Kim K didn’t just make contour famous, she made it an art form. Her must-haves include Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, Huda Beauty’s baking powder, and the sculpting sorcery of Makeup by Mario’s Master Mattes Palette.
And now? She’s all about SKKN by Kim and her signature undetectable glam. It’s giving perfection. It’s giving Photoshop in real life.
Zendaya: Beauty Chameleon Extraordinaire
Zendaya doesn’t wear makeup. She reinvents it. Whether it’s vintage glam or Euphoria edge, she keeps it cool with Lancôme Teint Idole Foundation, Monsieur Big Mascara, and a generous misting of Caudalie’s Beauty Elixir.
She mixes luxe with cool-girl staples like E.l.f. Cosmetics and Fenty Match Stix because red carpet glam should always have a little street cred.
Final Touch: Starry Nights, Glossy Lights
TheGlitz says, behind every iconic look is an arsenal of products that elevate, enhance, and empower. And while the brands may be luxe, the lesson is universal: confidence is the best filter.
Want to channel Alia’s glow or Kim’s contour? Well, it starts with finding your signature swipe. So, glam up, glow on, and remember: when in doubt, add lipstick.
