The $11 beauty product Addison Rae wore to the Academy Museum Gala
After debuting one of the best looks at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, we've been paying close attention to Addison Rae's red carpet appearances.
Over the weekend, the 'Diet Pepsi' singer attended the inaugural Academy Museum Gala wearing a lace Alberta Ferretti gown and sporting a freshly dyed head of honey blonde hair. But in all honesty we were transfixed by the careful details of the 24 year old's makeup. From her flushed cheeks and lips, to her pearlescent, glazed donut manicure, every aspect subtly enhanced her natural beauty.
Want to know how her makeup artist Nina Park managed to make Rae look like a renaissance painting? Or how her nail artist Natalie Minerva made an $11 nail polish look ten times the price for the red carpet event? Keep scrolling, here are all the product details of Addison Rae's Academy Museum Gala makeup look.

"I’ll never know a sweeter soul than Addison Rae," gushed Natalie Minerva via Instagram.
The nail artist responsible for Rae's pearl-inspired manicure at the Academy Museum Gala, shared with her Instagram followers that she'd created the look using a single nail polish. But the best part is that it's currently available at Chemist Warehouse for less than $11.
OPI's Nail Lacquer Kyoto Pearl Nail Polish ($10.97 from Chemist Warehouse) is a shimmery white satin nail polish that goes on streak-free with a promise of up to seven days of chip-free wear.
However, we can't say the same for Rae's visage, because the singer's makeup artist, Nina Park, used an entire face of Chanel makeup products to subtly enhance her natural doe-eyed beauty.
Park started with a base of Chanel's red camellia-infused N°1 DE CHANEL Revitalizing Foundation in 'B30' ($117 from MYER) and the Chanel Le Correcteur De Chanel Longwear Concealer in 'B30' ($75 from MYER). Then she illuminated the parts of Rae's complexion where the light naturally hits with the Chanel BAUME ESSENTIEL Multi-Use Glow Stick in 'Sculpting' ($74 from MYER).
Next, Park added a flush of colour to Rae's lips and cheeks by gently patting the Chanel N°1 DE CHANEL Lip and Cheek Balm in 'Wakeup Pink' ($75 from MYER) onto the singer's skin with her fingers.
She deepened the colour of the blush with a light wash of the Chanel JOUES CONTRASTE INTENSE Cream-To-Powder Blush in 'Rose Ardent' ($89 from David Jones) over the apples of the cheeks. Then she added some warmth to the high points of Rae's face using the Chanel LES BEIGES Healthy Glow Sun-Kissed Powder in 'Medium Rose Gold' ($150 from MYER).
Nina Park is the queen of minimal eye makeup, working with neutral tones of taupe and sand to define her client's natural eye shape.
Park used the Chanel LES BEIGES EYESHADOW PALETTE Healthy Glow Natural Eyeshadow Palette in 'Medium' ($118 from David Jones) to do just that, applying a light frosting of Chanel ENCHANTED NIGHT Eyeshadow And Blush Palette ($142 from MYER) to accent the look, and tight lining Rae's lash line with the Chanel STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF Longwear Eyeliner and Kohl Pen in '10 Ebene' ($50 from MYER).
Park further defined Rae's lengthy lashes with a few strokes of the Chanel LE LINER DE CHANEL Liquid Eyeliner High Precision Longwear And Waterproof in 'Noir Profond' ($64 from MYER) applied along the lash line, however she didn't extend the liquid liner outwards to create a wing to keep the eye makeup looking more natural. Instead she applied a couple of coats of the Chanel INIMITABLE INTENSE Definition and Curl Mascara in '10 Noir' ($65 from MYER) to create a bit of eye-opening lift. Then she combed Rae's luscious arches into place with the Chanel LE GEL SOURCILS Longwear Eyebrow Gel ($58 from MYER).
