DamnGood Special! From Kate Middleton to Selena Gomez: Unsponsored Holy Grail Beauty Products Celebs Actually Use

This week, we’re serving up a special celebrity-themed edition of our #DamnGood edit! From decoding background products in raw documentaries to mining our own interview archives, we’re separating real-deal beauty holy grails from paid marketing—because inquiring minds want to know.

You’ll find out:

• Selena’s K-beauty steal: The affordable sheet mask Selena Gomez casually dropped in a recent Instagram carousel—and why it’s the ultimate summer skin-cooling move

• Celine’s top-shelf tour: A deep dive into the luxury fragrance, hairspray, and newly reformulated cult-favorite facial cream spotted on Celine Dion’s vanity in her tear-jerking documentary, I Am Celine

• Taylor’s millennial lip combo: The long-lasting red lip combination Taylor Swift applied herself backstage on the Eras Tour

• Tracee Ellis Ross’s bath ritual: The made-fresh body oil and botanical mists the actress layers on wet skin for a summer glow

• The Bieber bathroom breakdown: A look back at Justin’s (and Hailey’s?) top shelf from the 2021 documentary Justin Bieber: Our World, featuring high-end professional masks, a cult-favorite SPF, and a surprising Sephora clinical staple

• Pamela Anderson’s box-dye debate: The detective work behind Pamela Anderson’s documentary scenes, tracking down the old-school drugstore box dye she’s really reaching for

• Royal secrets and the Swiss Army knife of beauty: How a 100-year-old classic balm became a royal family staple—with an unbelievable name-drop in Prince Harry’s memoir—plus the exact neutral peachy-pink gloss Kate Middleton was spotted wearing at Wimbledon

• Lili Reinhart’s master mattes: Why the Riverdale star avoids sparkle entirely and relies on a neutral, ultra-blendable matte eyeshadow palette for red carpet and video looks
