We found every single product that went into Selena Gomez' Emmys glam

From hair to nails, we've got it all...

Content Producer / September 16 2024

Welcome back to awards season. Yep, the time has come to announce the nominees and crown the winners, because the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards are here. Which obviously means just one thing. No, we aren't about to binge all the nominated shows (although it does sound like a good idea). Instead we're glue to red carpet coverage whilst scrolling and scouring socials. Why? Because we're desperate to find out all the BTS glam moments. And bring them directly to you, of course. 

And who better to showcase than beauty extraordinaire Selena Gomez? Walking the red carpet in an elegant black gown with a diamond encrusted neckline, we were drawn in by all the beauty details. The sleek slick back hair, with just a hint of curl. The 'wet-look' peachy-toned mani. And of course the glam. 

With her team of three superstar artists and stylists it's no wonder she looked as radiant as she did. And whilst we can't grant access to them, we can point you in the directions of the products used. So, let's break it down for you...

Selena Gomez Emmys Glam

Selena Gomez Emmys Nails

Okay, so logically, Gomez' nails should be the easiest thing to replicate at-home. Because nail artist Tom Bachik provided a literal step-by-step breakdown on how to master the look. But because the polishes are gel and need curing, it's just that little bit trickier. That is of course, unless you have a lamp at home. 

To replicate the look, Bachik started off with the base coat in the Kokoist MEGA Stick Base Coat Gel + Ultra Glossy Non Wipe Top Coat ($80 at Bee Lady Nailsset, then chose a skin-tone complimenting shade of peachy-apricot. He used the Kokoist polish in 'Satin Magnet' ($42 at Bee Lady Nails) which allowed for him to pull a magnet across the nail, creating that 'still wet' glossy look. 

And then to ensure her cuticles and hands were hydrated, Bachik took the Chanel Huile De Jasmin (available in store) across her cuticles and the Rare Beauty Find Comfort Hydrating Hand Cream ($32 at Sephoraover her hands. 

Selena Gomez Emmys Hair

Gomez' sleek strands were unbelievably glossy, smooth and sleek — AKA, everything we want our strands to be. So, obviously we had to find out exactly how they got to this point. 

Turns out Marissa Marino used an olive oil-enriched power duo for the shiniest strands we ever did see. And in true Aussie fashion, we can't get one of them. But we've found a pretty close contender from the same brand. 

For the ends and lengthens of Gomez' tresses, Marino used the Fekkai Brilliant Gloss Glass Hair Anti Frizz Oil Serum ($55 at Sephora), giving it that glossy glow. And to keep the front of her hair slicked down and center-parted so perfectly, she used the (unavailable in Australia) Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Styling Crème. Thankfully the Fekkai Brilliant Gloss Finishing Cream Shine & Anti Frizz ($36 at Sephoradoes a very similar job. 

And if you thought we were just going to glaze over the glossy stands without talking about that perfect curl to the end of her tresses, you'd be wrong. Because we're damn near obsessed with the movement and flick they create. 

Selena Gomez Emmys Skin Care

Look are they seriously exxy skin care products? Yes, definitely. But, the SK-II range are incredible at boosting your skin's moisture levels. Case in point? Selena Gomez' glowing Emmys skin. And as we all know, a good skin care base can help your makeup look absolutely flawless, which is why Hung Vanngo utilised the range. 

Starting off with a fun sheet mask moment (because who doesn't love a sheet mask?), the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask ($159 at Adore Beautyis touted as one of the best of the best. In a slightly unexpected twist, Vanngo used two essences to give Gomez' skin a major moisture boost. First up the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence ($139 at Adore Beautyand then the SK-II Genoptics UltrAura Essence ($259 at Adore Beauty). 

Following that, he ensured her under-eyes stayed nice and hydrated (a must for crease-proof makeup) with the SK-II SKINPOWER Eye Cream ($169 at Adore Beauty). And then he locked all that moisture in with the SK-II Skinpower Advanced Cream ($195 at Adore Beauty).

Flawless Base

When it comes to glowy, pigment-packed products, we're pretty confident that we all agree: Rare Beauty is it. From the unbelievable blush formulas (IYKYK) to the lit-from-within highlighters, it's safe to say, we're obsessed. That's why we're confident in saying the newest, almost available in Australia skin-perfecting powder will be equally as incredible. And damn, Gomez' skin is a pretty fantastic ad for it, if we do say so ourselves. Because the star didn't have a 'traditional' foundation on when taking to the red carpet. 

Nope, she was wearing the Rare Beauty Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer ($59 at Sephora) with skin-perfecting touches of the Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer ($43 at Sephora). The lightweight look was locked in with the duo of complexion-enhancing powers, the Rare Beauty Always An Optimist Soft Radiance Setting Powder ($49 at Sephora) and the newbie. 

Then came our collective fave. The blushing, bronzing highlighter. To give her cheekbones definition Vanngo used the Rare Beauty Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick in 'Happy Sol' and 'Power Boost' ($50 at Sephora). Then he took the blush AKA the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush in 'Happy' ($48 at Sephora) to create that perfect pink-toned cheek, before finishing the trifecta of complexion-enhancing with a dusting of the ultra-pigmented Rare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter in 'Exhilarate' ($49 at Sephora). 

And then to lock it all in, Vanngo finished her complexion  with a spritz of the Rare Beauty Always An Optimist 4-In-1 Mist ($53 at Sephora). 

Alluring Eyes

In the most surprising turn of events ever that gorgeous smoked out liner look only used a single shade of shadow. And in the more surprising (and totally devastating) realisation, that shade ('Perspective' if you were curious), isn't currently available in Australia. But, like we said, the dramatic flick and ultra-precise hair-like brow strokes are plenty for us to enjoy and add to cart. 

So, let's start with those incredible defined arches shall we? Because whenever we try doing fine hair strokes like that, we end up with a fully blocked out brow (TBH, that's probably on us). But with his skill (and incredible product), Vanngo used the Rare Beauty Brow Harmony Precision Pencil in 'Cool Brown' ($37 at Sephorato create those life-like strokes. And then he sealed them all in place with the Rare Beauty Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting Gel ($30 at Sephora).

To ensure the shadow/liner combo didn't budge throughout the big night, Vanngo prepped Gomez' eyelids with the Rare Beauty Always An Optimist Weightless Eye Primer ($41 at Sephora). Then he went in with the easy-to-apply Rare Beauty All Of The Above Weightless Eyeshadow Stick ($43 at Sephora). As for the next step? Highly exciting. He created the flawless, defined and dramatic cat eye flick with the Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Longwear Gel Eyeliner in 'True Black' ($37 at Sephora) and blurred it out slightly, for the perfect smoky effect. And of course, finished off the eyes with a coat of Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara ($39 at Sephora). 

Luscious Lips

In a lip look that we like to call the holy trinity, Vanngo used a liner, lipstick and a gloss all in similar peachy, neutral tones that seriously complimented her skin and her nails. The only downside is that the exact shade of Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm isn't available. So, if you're looking to recreate the lips at-home, switch Gomez' 'Nearly Petal' shade out for 'Nearly Neutral'. 

Aside from that switch, Vanngo lined Gomez' lips with the long-lasting Rare Beauty Kind Words Matte Lip Liner in 'Talented' ($29 at Sephora), followed by a Rare Beauty Kind Words Matte Lipstick ($39 at Sephora). And then topped it all off with a glossy swatch of the Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm ($39 at Sephora). 

As expected for a full glam breakdown, a lot went into creating her oh-so-effortless look. But we love when we spy a celeb beauty breakdown that we can actually copy at home. Now we just need to stock up on everything Rare Beauty.
