Miley Cyrus's Golden Glow at the Grammys Was Thanks to These 15 Exact Products

There were so many hair and makeup looks worth "oohing" and "aahing" about on the 66th annual Grammys red carpet, but if we had to choose one that stood out to us the most, it had to be Miley Cyrus's. Sure, her Maison Margiela dress was stunning, but her big, brushed-back hair was the first thing we noticed. (It gave us '80s Jane Fonda vibes in the best way.) Then, we looked closer, and we saw her golden, glowing skin. That was what really made us stop and stare… and demand to know exactly which beauty products were used to achieve it.
Luckily, we got the deets. Makeup artist James Kaliardos was the expert behind the look. "I wanted her to glow like a golden goddess, a touchable beauty," he said in a press release. "Miley and I collaborated on her skin today (and literally on everything) for her fresh-faced look! The end result is just gorgeous with perfected shapes and a tonal palette with golden goddess punctuations." Keep scrolling to see the exact beauty products he used to create this look, from skin prep to makeup!
The Skin Prep
As any makeup artist will tell you, a flawless makeup look actually starts with skin prep. Kaliardos used three products to cleanse and moisturize Cyrus's skin—all from the iconic drugstore brand Cetaphil. "For major events with Miley such as the Grammys, I need to use products that I know work and are suitable for sensitive skin, so for this look, I used a true favorite, Cetaphil. I wanted the skin to feel clean, hydrated, and soothed," he says.
He began by cleansing her skin with this budget-friendly foaming face wash. He chose it because it "has aloe and vitamin B, which leaves the skin feeling refreshed."
Next, Kaliardos applied this moisturizer-sunscreen hybrid to Cyrus's skin since it's a "lightweight, fragrance-free lotion [that] nourishes the skin and has SPF 35." He says it's perfect under makeup and doesn't clog pores. "I worked in some massaging tools to help relax the facial muscles to help get it ready for the intense red carpet lights and television," he adds.
Even Cyrus's glowing limbs were thanks to a Cetaphil product—this moisturizing lotion. Kaliardos chose this one to "smooth, hydrate, and create a perfect skin texture for the red carpet and stage." The secret is ingredients such as avocado oil, vitamin B5, and vitamin B3. "I've been using it forever and love that it leaves the skin looking velvety with a subtle glow," he says.
