It’s available in 112 shades for every taste.
E.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer

Pros:
- Satin finish, all-day wear
- Vegan, cruelty-free
Cons:
- Some shoppers found it a little drying
Bethenny Frankel’s extensive beauty arsenal includes this $7 concealer, which she once said her TikTok followers would “freak out” over.

Beauty lovers agree, and the product has over 31,00 five-star reviews. It’s available in 25 shades.
CoverGirl Exhibitionist Lipstick in Hot

Pros:
- Made with shea butter for moisture
- Creamy, high-impact lip color
Cons:
- Some shoppers didn’t find it long wearing
While Taylor Swift’s shifted her style with each album era, she’s hardly abandoned that “red lip classic thing” over the years. The former CoverGirl partner’s favorite hues include this bold, budget-friendly shade, which she praised to Redbook in 2012 when it was part of the Lip Perfection line.
Wet n Wild MegaGlo Makeup Stick

Pros:
- Multitasking product made to be used eyes, cheeks and lips

Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer

Pros:
- Infused with murumuru butter for moisture
- Hypoallergenic, cruelty-free
Cons:
- Not a matte finish, if that is what you seek
Sofia Richie’s quiet luxury wardrobe has a hefty price tag — but her go-to bronzer costs just $17.
“I love this Butter Bronzer,” she raved while re-creating her wedding look for a TikTok in 2023. (She’s been using the drugstore staple since at least 2019, when she told Vogue it was “from Rite Aid.”)
Available in six shades.
Dr. Hauschka Lip Balm

Pros:
- Natural formula, intensive moisture for dry lips
- Good for all skin types
Cons:
- Some shoppers find it a little pricey for the size
Pamela Anderson shared with British Vogue in 2023 that she uses the lip balm during a “Inside Pamela Anderson’s Stella McCartney Handbag” segment, saying the tub is, “Very used, almost empty.”
Jennifer Aniston never misses an opportunity to rave about this under-$17 lip balm; she’s name-dropped it in several interviews over the years, telling the Cut it was her “favorite” in 2013 and revealing to Glamour in 2019 that it was one of three products she’d take to a deserted island.
Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick

Pros:
- Boasts all-day wear
- Tapered applicator allows for precise application
Cons:
- Some users found it drying so consider a hydrating primer
While self-proclaimed “accidental beauty influencer” Bethenny Frankel has reviewed a bevy of beauty products, she ranked this lipstick among ones she’s “stayed loyal to” over the years.
“They’re wonderful … they’re creamy, they’re pretty,” she said of the under-$15 buy in an Instagram video. “They’re as good as expensive, like not even a discussion.”
L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

Pros:
- Thickening mascara suitable for sensitive eyes
- Over 80,000 five-star reviews on Amazon
Cons:
- Some shoppers don’t care for the scent
From runway models to reality stars, Hollywood is hooked on this volumizing formula. Kim Kardashian once name-dropped it on her now-defunct blog, per Bravo, while Brooklyn Decker told Page Six Style, “I’m a L’Oréal Voluminous mascara girl for life. I can’t be convinced otherwise.”
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

Pros:
- Korean skincare softens lips with antioxidants, murumuru seed, and shea butter
- Can be used day or night
Cons:
- Some users did not find it as hydrating as expected
Stars are hardly sleeping on this Laneige sleeping mask. The Korean skincare and makeup brand’s balm is beloved by Page Six editors and plenty of famous folks — including Kendall Jenner, Kate Hudson, Brooke Shields and Kaia Gerber. Brand face Sydney Sweeney always includes the sleeping mask in her favorite products as well.
“It’s really shiny and pretty when you put it on,” Jenner once told British Vogue of the hydrating potion, which she doesn’t just save for nighttime. “I love having this on me just to put a little shine on.”
L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion

Pros:
- Multitasking formula can be used as makeup primer, sheer foundation or highlighter
- Creates a a lit-from-within glow
- Great for mature skin, according to reviews
Cons:
- Some shoppers find it difficult to blend
Wondering what “good things” Martha Stewart keeps in her beauty bag? While she’s used plenty of products from pricier brands like Clé de Peau Beauté, her history-making Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover look included this under-$20 drugstore find.
“I use it every day on her,” her makeup artist Daisy Foye told People. “I go through a tube every week. It’s how she gets that dewy look, like she just got a facial. I’m obsessed with it.”
Available in six shades.
E.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Beauty Wand Blush

Pros:
- Made with hydrating squalane
- Cushion-tip applicator for precision application
- Cruelty-free and vegan
Cons:
- Some shoppers wish it was a little more pigmented
E.l.f. Cosmetics’ beauty wands are designed for easy application — and they’re easy on the wallet to boot. Frankel included the brand’s blush in an Instagram video highlighting products she finds “affordable, really fresh and beautiful for summer.”
She’s far from the only star using E.l.f., as Jennifer Coolidge starred in the brand’s 2023 Super Bowl ad months before collaborating on a lip line.
Available in six radiant shades.
Essie Nail Polish in Ballet Slippers

Pros:
- Glossy shine finish in an elegant, universally-flattering color
- Over 21,00 five-star reviews for the formula
Cons:
- Some shoppers feel it chips easily so use a top coat if that is a concerm
Essie’s had more than just a brush with fame over the years. After all, when it comes to picking polish, countless stars are brushing on shades from the drugstore brand — including this color, a reported favorite of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s.
L’Oréal Paris Infallible Matte Resistance Liquid Lipstick

Pros:
- Comfortable, sueded finish that claims to last up to 16 hours
- Opaque, pigmented color
Cons:
- Some shoppers say it transfers a bit
Keeping up with Kendall Jenner’s makeup routine? After swiping on L’Oréal for red carpet events like the 2023 Met Gala, she became a face of the brand in July 2023.
She cited this product as a favorite in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, saying, “It’s a liquid lipstick, and it’s so easy to wear, never smudges, and feels super hydrating — I love it.”
Available in 22 colors.
Smith’s Rosebud Salve

Pros:
- Multitasking formula to use on lips, cuticles or dry bits
- Shoppers say it “Smells good and moisturizes very well.”
When it comes to under-$10 beauty finds, this salve is on fire. Alicia Keys and Beyoncé are both fans of the moisturizing formula, which the “Halo” singer once told Allure she uses for “everything.”
“I wear it with my lipstick,” she explained in 2011. “I did this trick last summer, when I was on vacation: I used it to prime my lashes before curling. It was like a natural mascara. It made the lashes hold the curl and look shiny. I use it for everything!”
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer

Pros:
- Corrects the appearance of redness and brightens under-eyes
- Shoppers say it “blends like a dream” among the 154,00 five-star reviews
Cons:
- Some users don’t love the applicator
Bethenny Frankel doesn’t conceal her feelings about her favorite (and least favorite) products, and this concealer’s no exception.
“It’s really good,” she said in a video spotlighting products that’ve earned places in the “very coveted real estate” of her beauty collection.
Available in 28 shades including color-correctors.
Skincare
Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

Pros:
- Repairs, hydrates and rejuvenates skin
Cons:
- Some shoppers find the texture off-putting
Stars have hopped on the snail mucin skincare trend at anything but a snail’s pace. Kyle Richards and Emily Ratajkowski have included this budget-friendly favorite in Amazon Lives and Instagram Stories, respectively, while Alex Cooper used it to get ready for her wedding.
And Ariana Madix loves the stuff so much, she steals it from her boyfriend; the star told the Strategist she’s “addicted to the formula,” raving, “It feels really nice …this stuff really sinks into my skin and keeps me moisturized.”
Esarora Ice Roller

Pros:
- Easy-to-use facial massage tones skin and reduces puffiness
This under-$20 skincare tool’s gotten the opposite of an icy reception. Deliah Belle Hamlin told us it’s “one of the best things to exist,” raving that it “completely de-puffs my face while contouring it at the same time.”
And Sydney Sweeney’s used it both on- and off-screen, telling Glamour, “every morning now, when I go to set or when I wake up, I ice-roll my face.”
Aquaphor Healing Ointment

Pros:
- Can be used on dry, cracked skin, as a lip conditioner, face or body moisturizer and for minor wound care
Cons:
- Is made from petrolatum, if you are trying to avoid that ingredient
What do Billie Eilish and Beyoncé have in common (other than their pop-star status, that is)? Both swear by Aquaphor’s moisturizing balms, with Eilish telling Vogue she has a tube “with [her] at all times, 24/7.”
The “Renaissance” singer, meanwhile, once told Elle she slathers Aquaphor over her face before bed.
Neutrogena Night Calming Makeup Remover Wipes

Pros:
- Hypoallergenic, alcohol-free, emollient-rich formula is great for sensitive skin
- Can be used to remove eye and face makeup
Cons:
- Not every one loves the fragrance
When it comes time to melt off makeup, even Kim Kardashian loves a good drugstore buy. The star had these peeking out of her beauty bag in an Instagram Story in 2022, and previously name-dropped the brand’s original Makeup Remover Wipes in a 2015 Into the Gloss interview.
Jennifer Tilly also listed the original Makeup Remover Wipes as her a must-have when speaking with The Strategist in Nov. 2024. “They get everything off — even the eyelash glue.” Tilly raved.
Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micellar Water

Pros:
- Balances skin pH, hydrates and protects against environmental stressors
- Fragrance-free and alcohol-free
Cons:
- Some users feel it doesn’t thoroughly remove waterproof makeup
With famous fans including Victoria Beckham, Khloé Kardashian Tracee Ellis Ross and Drew Barrymore, this makeup-removing formula tops our roundup of the best skincare products according to celebrities.
Haircare
L’Oréal Paris Magic Root Cover Up Spray

Bethenny Frankel’s pre-date ritual includes a spritz of this temporary root-concealing spray, which she called her “secret weapon” in a sponsored Instagram video.
L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Strong Hairspray

Pros:
- Brushable formula
- Humidity-resistant and long lasting
Cons:
- Some reviews say they don’t love spray cap
Kate Middleton’s hairstylist, Amanda Cook Tucker, once posted — then deleted — a photo of the products she packed for a royal trip, including this extra-strong spray.

Oprah’s Roomy Cargo Pants Are a Go-To Fall Style
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/oprahs-big-pocket-cargo-pants-5a1e945a3e654a8596b7bc3da4cbbd18.jpg)
Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
Oprah Winfrey is committed to cargo pants, so it’s obvious I have to break up with my boring pocketless pants as soon as possible.
Last fall in New York City, the media mogul wore a pair of big-pocket pants (a style she’s worn before) that prompted a light-bulb realization: I fear I have not given cargos a fighting chance. And for what? Boring pants that only have hidden pockets, or, in many cases, faux ones that can’t even stash a phone.
Not long before Oprah showed off her brown cargos, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a navy blue pair with a cropped trench coat. That gives me another reason to feel confident about trying this offbeat pants style.

The rest of Oprah’s look was grand, too: Her purple sweater was ideal for fall thanks to its three-quarter sleeves, plus her comfy sneakers finished it with polished comfort (she also wore heels with the outfit at another point in the day, but let’s keep it casual). We rounded up similar big-pocket pants, sweaters, and kicks inspired by the TV icon.

When I use regular pockets, I’m super careful because, most of the time, they’re not deep enough, so things tend to fall out when I’m sitting. In other words, they’re not that secure, and that’s why I’m picking out pants with pockets that have more room or more compartments.
These from Amazon are “very durable” and “silky” to the touch, per the reviews. Also, according to one shopper who wore them while hiking, “The pockets were big enough to hold my phone and Chapstick, so I didn’t have to carry a big bag.” They also have drawstring cuffs, so you can tie them up if you don’t want to dirty them when walking around outdoors.
Liyohon Turtleneck Top
Amazon
I can’t stand feeling like an overstuffed burrito with a thick sweater packed into an even thicker coat in the fall or winter. So, I usually choose thinner layers, but I want them to keep me at least a little warm. This turtleneck “feels more like a light sweater than a T-shirt,” according to one shopper, and it has been worn under dresses and blazers, per many others.
The purple shade here is a little lighter than Oprah’s, but the three-quarter-length sleeves are, in my opinion, the most important thing to focus on here.
Somiliss Leather Suede Patchwork Sneakers
Amazon
Oprah also pulled a sneaky move when she did a little shoe change. We don’t know which pair came first — heels or sneakers — but I personally am a “go comfortable or go home” shoe gal, so I’m choosing option B.
In my book, suede makes anything more fall-worthy, but it can be tricky on shoes. I don’t want to have to spritz a protectant spray all over, so a pair with just a little bit of the soft texture feels easier to manage long term. The soles on these look serrated like Oprah’s, which make me believe that they’d be incredibly grippy.

Karlie Kloss welcomes third baby with husband Joshua Kushner

Karlie Kloss’ brood just got bigger.
The model has given birth to her and husband Joshua Kushner’s third baby — a girl. Kushner announced the news via Instagram Saturday by posting a photo of the newborn and revealing her name: “Rae Florence 9.18.2025 🤍.”
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel announced her pregnancy news in a March Instagram post debuting her bump.
“Three’s a party 🥹🫶🎉,” Kloss wrote at the time.
The caption referenced her and Kushner’s eldest two children — sons Levi and Elijah — who appeared in the social media upload.
Levi was born in March 2021, followed by Elijah in July 2023.
While awaiting baby No. 3, Kloss continued to show off her budding belly at the Met Gala, WNBA games and more events.
She rocked a black off-the-shoulder gown to ring in Kushner’s 40th birthday at a star-studded bash in June.
“I have loved growing up together, and can’t wait to grow old together,” Kloss captioned a celebratory tribute to the “love of [her] life and best friend” via Instagram.
The Kode With Klossy founder and Kushner have been together since 2012.
The businessman got down on one knee in July 2018, and the duo walked down the aisle in upstate New York three months post-proposal.
The duo went on to have a second wedding ceremony in Wyoming in 2019.
Although the pair primarily keep their romance out of the public eye over the years, Kloss insisted to Net-a-Porter in 2018 that they “have nothing to hide.”
In May, she explained to “Aspire” podcast listeners that their “partnership is so solid” because they met when she was a teenager.
“We’ve grown up together,” Kloss gushed. “He’s always been my biggest champion.”

Prince Harry Made Secret Visit to Another Member of Royal Family During U.K. Trip
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/Prince-Harry-092025-a3465016e82d44eb91e21f2d9ad9b0cd.jpg)
NEED TO KNOW
- Prince Harry’s four-day visit to the U.K. included a secret visit to another member of the royal family
- According to Hello!, Harry visited Kensington Palace to pay his respects to Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, following the death of his wife, Katharine, the Duchess of Kent
- Harry “loved catching up with family, friends and colleagues” during his trip to Britain, a source said
Prince Harry’s four-day visit to the U.K. included a reunion with his father, King Charles, after nearly two years, as well as a secret visit to another member of the royal family.
According to a report from Hello! published on Saturday, Sept. 20, Harry, 41, privately visited Kensington Palace to “personally pay his respects and offer condolences” to Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, following the death of his wife, Katharine, the Duchess of Kent. She died on Sept. 4 at the age of 92.
Although Harry was not able to attend Katharine’s funeral on Sept. 16, as he had already left the U.K., a source close to the Duke of Sussex told the outlet that he “loved catching up with family, friends and colleagues.”
“His only regret was not being able to stay longer and see more people, but the meetings in Ukraine had been in the diary for a long time, and it mattered to him to be there in person to see the Invictus Games Foundation’s growing work and the progress at Superhumans,” the source added.
“The whole trip felt like a real success for everyone involved,” the source said. “His passion for his patronages and the causes he cares about hasn’t dimmed one bit — he’s already buzzing to get back and do more.”

The Duke of Sussex made several public appearances during his U.K. trip, including at the WellChild Awards in London on Sept. 8, where he crouched to greet children, wrapped families in hugs and cracked jokes. In Nottingham the next day, he danced into a room at the Community Recording Studio (CRS), laughing and bantering with young activists.
“He’s still the same person,” said CRS’s Trevor Rose. “He wants to feel the energy here. He cares — and that’s the main thing.”

One of the most newsworthy moments came when Harry arrived at Clarence House on Sept. 10, and disappeared inside for a long-awaited, private meeting with King Charles. He emerged just under one hour later — and experts were quick to point out that this visit could be the first step on the road to reconciliation with his father.
“It’s a massive step in the right direction,” Queen Elizabeth’s former spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson told PEOPLE following the historic meeting. “It’s a building of trust.”

Harry and the King, 76, have been estranged for more than 18 months. As PEOPLE previously reported, the meeting not only served as a chance for the Duke of Sussex to rekindle his relationship with his father, but also with his brother, Prince William.
While the encounter marked a hopeful step forward, royal insiders caution that a long road lies ahead before full reconciliation can take place.
“It shows the way forward,” an insider with ties to both sides told PEOPLE. “It is a good starting point.”
Just a few days after the meeting, Harry made a surprise visit to Kyiv, Ukraine, with his Invictus Games Foundation and spoke with The Guardian while there.
“The focus really has to be on my dad,” he said, while also acknowledging his past revelations in interviews and his memoir Spare. “My conscience is clear.”
When asked if he will ever bring his children to the U.K. despite his security concerns, Harry told the outlet, “Yes, I would. This week has definitely brought that closer.”
“Whatever has gone on in the past, it is good to see the family trying to repair itself or communicate at least,” a source with close ties to the palace added to PEOPLE. “Everyone has to have compassion for all sides.”
After visiting the U.K. and Ukraine, Harry returned to Montecito, Calif., to be with wife Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. On Saturday, Sept. 20, Meghan, 44, and Harry stepped out together to the One805LIVE! concert, which supports Santa Barbara County’s first responders and was held at Kevin Costner‘s oceanside estate in California.
