Recreate 2025 VMAs Red Carpet Beauty for Half the Price at Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty

Shop VMA-inspired looks for 50% off during Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty Sale!

The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) brought the drama this year with beauty looks we can’t stop thinking about—bold red lips, radiant blush, sculpted hair and serious rocker glam. Luckily, recreating these red carpet styles doesn’t have to come with a celeb-level price tag. Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty Sale is here through Sept. 18 with daily deals offering 50% off cult-favorite products.

From Doja Cat’s statement red lip to Taylor Momsen’s grunge eyes, these must-have picks will help you nail the looks you loved for way less. The only catch is that each deal is live for one day only, so mark your calendars and get ready to shop.
