Selena Gomez looked stunning in her Ralph Lauren gown at the 76th Annual Emmy Awards, but it's her soft glam beauty look that I'm after. I did some digging to find all the products she used in her skincare, makeup and haircare routine. From SK-II to Rare Beauty, here's how to recreate Gomez's look at your next event—and each item is under $150.

Celebrity hairstylist Marissa Marino was in charge of styling the Only Murders in the Building star for the big night. She told me, "We were inspired by her Ralph Lauren gown and our vibe for the night was effortless elegance and high shine. We also wanted to make sure her hair was off her shoulders to let the dress neckline shine on the red carpet."
If the goal was glossy, shiny hair, then Marino hit it out of the park. Her secret weapon? The FEKKAI Brilliant Glossing Styling Créme ($30), which Marino applied on Gomez's towel-dried hair from roots to ends, before brushing through it with a paddle brush. "A major tip to recreate the look is making sure you get all the moisture of the hair when you begin blow drying," she shared with me. "You want to make sure the hair is fully dry to get rid of potential frizz and achieve the shiniest blowout."
The stylist also applied the FEKKAI Brilliant Gloss Glass Hair Anti-Frizz Oil Serum ($30), before curling the ends using the Kristin Ess 1 1/4" Curling Iron ($60; $42) and spraying on FEKKAI Clean Stylers Flexi-Hold Hairspray ($27) to set the look in place.
Before I talk about her makeup, you have to give thanks to her skincare prep. Makeup artist Hung Vanngo relied on SK-II for her glowy skin. Some crowd favorites include the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask ($145), SK-II Facial Treatment Essence ($99) and SK-II SKINPOWER Eye Cream ($145).
The star of the show: her soft glam makeup look. It's no surprise that Vanngo used all Rare Beauty products to create her star-studded Emmys look, from the base to her eyes to her lips.
The former Disney star used the Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer ($30) in the shade 24N, along with the Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer ($22) in shade 160C. Of course, the MUA used bronzer highlighter and setting powder, but it was the popular Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush ($26) in shade 'Happy' that shined through last night. Gomez has distinct cheekbones and the cool pink shade really lifted her radiant look.
The makeup artist went for a smokey eye using the All of the Above Weightless Eyeshadow Stick ($22) in shade 'Perspective' all over the lid, Perfect Strokes Gel Eyeliner ($19) for a smudged cat-eye and the Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara ($20) for fluffy lashes. The singer also used the Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting Eyebrow Gel ($17) to define her arches.
As seen in the IG video above, Gomez finished the look with a glossy lip combo. She used the Kind Words Matte Lipstick ($20) and Kind Words Matte Lip Liner ($15) in shade 'Talented,' before topping it off with the Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm ($20) in shade 'Nearly Petal' to really make the neutral base pop.
Hair and makeup aside, the look couldn't be complete without a glossy manicure. Celebrity manicurist Tom Bachnik posted on his Instagram that his inspiration stemmed from the summer soap nail trend and he wanted the nails to "appear glossy and still look wet."
He used the Tweezerman Nail Care Set ($29) to shape her nails into a soft almond before applying Kokoist Nail Polish ($17) in shade 'Apricot Satin.' He notes, "Using a magnet, I pulled all the shimmer to the outside edge creating depth and a 'still wet' highlight." The manicurist completed the manicure with Kokoist Ultra Glossy Top Coat ($20) and cuticle oil.
Gomez didn't win the gold, but she sure did win one of the best beauty looks at the Emmys.
