As much as we fantasize about the glitz of a life in the spotlight, there are parts of celebrity life we'd rather skip, given the choice. Between the award shows, red carpet appearances and daily paparazzi, the stars of Hollywood are constantly scrutinized for their makeup, hair and attire. In that sense, the camera is always rolling and the pressure is always on. It's the job of a celebrity's makeup artist to ensure they're looking fabulous 24/7. And while celebrities have plenty of dough for luxurious skin-care and makeup products, you'd be surprised by how many celebrity makeup artists rely on drugstore makeup products -- yes, the stuff you see lining the shelves under fluorescent lining at your corner store -- to get celebrity clients red-carpet ready.

There are plenty of hidden gems at your local Walgreens and Target that celebrities use on the regular. Curious to see which drugstore picks makeup artists bet their careers on? Here, the best drugstore makeup celebrity makeup artists (and their clients!) swear by.
