What are Hollywood stylists' inexpensive hair and makeup secrets? In this installment of [*Snob on a Budget*](https://money.com/topic/snob-on-a-budget/), Amanda Elser, senior beauty editor for *People StyleWatch,* reveals five items, each under $50, that professional hair and makeup artists have in their kits when they're on the set. Elser also explains why these items are great, and how they're used.

-   L'Oreal Elnett hairspray, which ends up looking like you're not using hairspray at all.
-   Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, for use as a primer or throughout the day.
-   YSL Touche Éclat highlighter that will hide those dark shadows under your eyes.
-   Nars Orgasm blush that can be used to give you a sun-kissed glow, but also pull double-duty as a lipstick.
-   A Hot Tools curling iron.
