This $13 product was behind Kendall Jenner’s ‘luminous glow’ on the Met Gala red carpet

She’s a glow pro.

Kendall Jenner looked downright angelic on the Met Gala red carpet on Monday, wearing a custom GapStudio by Zac Posen gown inspired by the famous “Winged Victory” sculpture.

And while we can’t all wear wing-adorned custom couture, the secret to her radiant skin — L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion — is just $13.

Her longtime makeup artist, Mary Phillips, applied shade 902 (a gorgeous golden hue) on her décolletage for “an extra touch of luminous glow,” as she said in a press release.

“We wanted the glam to feel timeless — like a work of art from any era,” she added of the look, which was right on theme with the gala’s “Fashion Is Art” dress code.

It’s far from the first time the model and brand ambassador has used Glotion, as she’s worn it everywhere from the Academy Museum Gala — where Phillips dotted a lighter shade on the high points of her face and the bridge of her nose — to the 2023 Met Gala.

And she’s not the only one who considers it a gala go-to; at this year’s Met alone, Cara Delevingne and Zöe Kravitz also used it for extra red carpet radiance.

“I always start with skin that feels alive,” the latter star’s makeup artist, Nina Park, said in a press release. “Using L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion, I built a soft, dimensional glow, so the light hits the face naturally.”

Several stars swear by the stuff for everyday use, too. Martha Stewart’s makeup artist, Daisy Toye, once told People she goes through a bottle a week, saying: “It’s how she gets that dewy look, like she just got a facial.”

Meanwhile, Bethenny Frankel’s caused plenty of commotion over the Glotion — so much so, she even has an extra large bottle of the stuff.

For her part, Jenner completed her Met look with several other surprisingly affordable L’Oréal staples, from Plump Ambition Gloss — which “gives the lip that little extra something,” per Phillips — to the Extensionist Mascara for “bold lashes.”

It seems stars agree: these drugstore products are worth it.
