Tate McRae’s Secret to Red Carpet Radiance Can Be Found at Your Local Drugstore

Tate McRae had a whirlwind weekend, effortlessly balancing career milestones and star-studded celebrations. Fresh off her electrifying Saturday Night Live return as a musical guest where she performed her new single “Sports Car” and fan-favorite “Dear God,” the 21-year-old jetted straight to Los Angeles to attend the Vanity Fair Oscar Party alongside her boyfriend, Kid Laroi. Between late-night performances, cross-country flights and minimal sleep, looking radiant for Hollywood’s biggest night is no small feat— but the “She’s All I Wanna Be” singer pulled it off flawlessly.
Despite her packed schedule, McRae, who wore a custom look from Ludovic de Saint Sernin that featured Swarovski crystal mesh and silver metal mesh made entirely by hand in the fashion house’s atelier in Paris, stepped onto the red carpet looking luminous and refreshed. Proof that the right beauty routine—and a little star power—can make even the busiest weekends look effortless.
Celebrity makeup artist Lilly Keys made sure to keep her skin hydrated and prepped ahead of a fun Sunday glam by using Neutrogena’s dermatologist-recommended products to achieve a radiant, red-carpet-ready glow. “Flawless glam starts with the right prep,” Keys shares with SI Swimsuit. And the best part – every single skin prep product used can be found at your local drugstore!
