Vanessa Hudgens dropped some major news at the 2024 Oscars as she walked the red carpet, debuting her pregnancy. The “Sneakernight” singer was practically glowing as she posed for photographs, and while some of that glow can be credited to her pregnancy, it’s also thanks to ColourPop’s Bronze Stix in La Jolla Cove, which is on sale for $7.

To complete her red-carpet glam, Hudgens relied on ColourPop to give her a radiant look that, along with the bronzer, included the Super Shock Highlighter in Churro and ColourPop’s Bare Necessities eyeshadow palette. Her makeup was further enhanced paired with her form-fitting turtleneck gown designed by Vera Wang.

Right now, the makeup brand is hosting some of the best beauty deals online, offering 30% off practically everything on the site. You can buy the exact Bronze Stix used by Hudgens online, including other makeup used to create her red-carpet look.
