Lola Tung's TSITP Premiere Look Was Smoky, Sultry Perfection—Every $15-and-Under Item She Wore

The third and final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty is upon us. Well, almost. Amazon released the first two episodes, but we'll have to wait for the rest to drop weekly until the show concludes in September. (I'm not ready!) The good news is that we have ample distractions while we wait in the form of stunning premiere looks. That's right—Lola Tung, who plays the main character Isabel (AKA Belly), attended a special screening in NYC this week, wearing a makeup look that I can only describe as smoky, sultry perfection.
"I leaned into earthy tones to bring warmth and depth, pairing a soft smoky eye with her ethereal look," makeup artist Misha Shahzada said in a press release. Ethereal it was! And believe it or not, Shahzada used products from a certain drugstore makeup brand to create the look. The most expensive one? A mascara that costs a mere $14. Scroll to see the exact budget-friendly makeup products.
Complexion
Shahzada used makeup products from MCoBeauty, an affordable and cruelty-free beauty brand that's based in Australia. First up, we have the Flawless Glow Luminous Skin Filter. It's a multitasking formula that can be worn on bare skin as foundation, mixed into other complexion products, or used as a traditional highlighter. The dewy finish gave Tung her lit-from-within glow.
Eyes
Here's the most expensive product Shahzada used to create Tung's look. It's a $14 tubing mascara that lifts and lengthens lashes while giving them a glossy finish. The formula contains multiple waxes and polymers, so it binds to the lashes and allows for multiple, layered coats without any smudging, clumping, or flaking.
Lips
Shahzada used this peptide-spiked lip balm as a moisturizing treatment before applying lip products. When she was ready to use lip liner and lipstick, she blotted them off. I assume that's because it has a glossy, oil-cream formula that might have interfered with Tung's velvety-matte lipstick.
Last but not least, Shahzada applied this Creme Matte Luxe Lipstick in the shade Rose Saturn. I love the nude-rose color, but I love the modern matte finish even more. Unlike drying matte lipsticks of yesteryear, this one is soft, creamy, and moisturizing. And instead of looking dull or one-dimensional, it provides a stunning blurred-lip look.
