Madelyn Cline Wore This $14 TikTok-Viral Product to the Critics Choice Awards

If you tuned in to the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday (or maybe you didn't watch the show but scrolled through our roundup of the most exciting red carpet looks), you saw Madelyn Cline. The star of Outer Banks and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery walked the red carpet wearing a feathered Givenchy gown and a glowing makeup look reminiscent of Old Hollywood and Sophia Loren.
As it turns out, that sultry, glowing makeup look was created using products from an iconic drugstore brand. In fact, all of the products her makeup artist, Jen Tioseco, used to create the look were $15 and under (yes, really). It's further proof that the cost of a product doesn't determine its efficacy. "For Madelyn’s look, as soon as we saw the feathered Givenchy gown, we knew we wanted to play into Old Hollywood glamour," Tioseco said. "We didn’t want to overpower the gown with overly bold glam, so we focused on bronzed, glowy skin with her signature liner and pouty lips. It was the perfect balance to let both the dress and her glam have their own moments while complementing each other perfectly."

Complexion Products
Every single product Tioseco used was from E.l.f. Cosmetics—the famously affordable (and effective) drugstore brand. To start, she primed and prepped Cline's skin with the Daily Hydration Moisturizer ($8) and the new Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide ($10). From there, she applied this color corrector to specific areas of Cline's face.
While this color corrector might look a little intimidating with its azure color, it effectively offsets orange and yellow tones in the skin.
Here's the star product (at least in our opinion). It's the one that went viral on TikTok and consequently has been sold out for some time. Luckily, though, it's finally back in stock. We're sure it's only a matter of time until it sells out again, so act fast.
It's a multipurpose skincare-makeup hybrid that instantly boosts glow and creates a pretty, soft-focus effect on the skin. You can wear it alone for sheer coverage, under foundation as a luminous base, or as a traditional highlighter to reflect light from the high points of your face.
To finish off Cline's complexion, Tioseco applied this bronzer for a bit of warmth and a hint of shimmer. This is a new product from the brand. It has a unique putty texture and promises to be lightweight, non-greasy, and highly pigmented. We like the fact that it's infused with argan oil and vitamin E for soft, smooth skin.
The final step was to mist the brand's Stay All Day Blue Light Micro Setting Mist ($10) over Cline's skin. This is a blue light
absorbing spray that sets makeup in place.
Eye and Brow Products
The final step was to perfect Cline's brows. For that, Tioseco used yet another TikTok-famous product: the Brow Lift. It creates a fluffy, feathered look that's similar to the one you get from using the soap brow technique. It also offers an "extreme hold," so your brow hairs won't budge throughout the day.
Lip Products
The final product Tioseco used, and the pièce de résistance, was this light-pink lipstick, which they chose to fit the balletcore trend that's currently sweeping social media. It was the perfect complement to Cline's eye makeup and Givenchy gown.
