Even though she’s kind of a movie and TV outsider, Olivia Culpo’s style stole the show at the 2017 Golden Globes.

Her burgundy eyeshadow was reminiscent of Kylie’s burgundy eye palette — but you don’t have to crash your computer browser trying to cop it. Luckily, it’s all available through L’Oreal at your local CVS.
“We went for very bold, runway-inspired makeup for Olivia’s look tonight,” makeup artist Sir John said of the look through a spokesperson. “We opted for a dramatic eye, nude lip and soft, luminous skin, playing on different textures to create visual interest and drama.”
