It was a big night for Doja Cat at this year's Grammys. The singer won her first ever Grammy award for best pop duo/group performance for her song “Kiss Me More” featuring SZA. And despite hobbling on crutches after falling out of bed (yes, really), SZA made her way up to the stage faster than Doja, who sprinted in at the last second after a riskily-timed bathroom break. “Listen. I have never taken such a fast piss in my whole life. Thank you everybody,” she told the audience before breaking into tears. “I like to down-play a lot of shit, but this is, er, it's a big deal,” she said through sobs.

But aside from Doja's emotional acceptance speech, it wasn't just her music we were fan-girling over. Both beauty looks that Doja Cat served up – first on the red carpet, and then for the ceremony – were award-worthy. And after some Insta-scrolling through her makeup artist, Ernesto Casillas' page, we found out that he used a very well-known and affordable skincare regime to prep Doja's complexion for a glow as bright as that gold Grammy gong.
Ernesto uploaded a behind-the-scenes pic to his Instagram Stories writing: “Starting the 2022 Grammys x Doja glam with some skin prep @deciem @theordinary.” He exfoliated the star's skin using The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution (£8), before applying the brand's balancing Niacinamide and Zinc treatment (£5.50) to regulate oil and the hyaluronic acid serum (£6.40) to keep her skin beautifully hydrated throughout the evening.
As for makeup, he served up some Regency realness with the help of Pat McGrath's Bridgerton collection cheek palette. Alongside Pat's Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection Foundation (£60) in the shade M17, Ernesto used the Bridgerton Divine Blush & Glow Trio in Love At First Blush (£51) to give Doja's cheeks a pretty flush. He decorated her eyes with sparkly mauve shadows using the Mothership VII Divine Rose Eyeshadow Palette (£115) before adding some £9 faux KISS lashes. He finished the look off with a glossy brown-pink lip, using the PermaGel Ultra Lip Pencil in Deep Dive (£22) to line lips, the Bridgerton SatinAllure Lipstick in Venusian Peach (£25) in the centre and the Lust: Gloss in Love Potion (£22) for a glazed top coat.

As for hair, Doja's hair stylist JStayReady called upon Joico and GHD to create two early 2000's-inspired hair looks. The MVPs? Joico's JoiMist Firm Finishing Spray (£12.15) to lock both looks in place and GHD's Unplugged Cordless Styler (£299) for some last-minute red carpet touch-ups.
