As of late, we’ve become enamored with Janelle Monáe’s accessorized hairstyles, but make no mistake: her makeup is just as noteworthy.

This evening, the Hidden Figures and Moonlight star hit the 2017 Golden Globes red carpet in a polka-dotted, high-low Armani Privé gown, making for one of the most daring looks of the night. And of course, her pearl-accented coif and fresh makeup were also standouts.

While many will assume the A-lister is clad in designer makeup that costs a pretty penny, her award-worthy mug is actually courtesy of the drugstore.

Makeup artist Jessica Smalls prepped Monáe in a bevy of COVERGIRL staples, with emphasis on a “kissable pinkish nude lip” that she prepped by exfoliating with lemon juice and sugar.
