Here's Every Beauty Product Sydney Sweeney Wore While Hosting SNL

In case you missed it, Sydney Sweeney hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time this past weekend. The Euphoria and Anyone But You star delivered a seriously funny monologue and stood out in the sketches, but as beauty editors, we couldn't help but notice her glowing skin, timeless makeup, and Old Hollywood–esque hair. Luckily, we got the details and learned the exact products her makeup artist, Melissa Hernandez, and hairstylist, Glen Oropeza, used.
"Since this was Sydney’s first time hosting SNL, I was super inspired to highlight her natural beauty and keep the look timeless and fresh," said Hernandez in a press release. "It was super important to us that she felt like herself, while still channeling old Hollywood glamour." Scroll to see every beauty product—including skincare, makeup, and hair products—Sweeney wore.
Skincare Products
The first product Hernandez reached for to prep Sweeney's skin is. a brand new launch from Laneige. “I applied a healthy layer of the Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask and let it sit for 30 minutes," she said. "I love using this before makeup because it’s formulated with dual-action collagen support, which visibly plumps and firms the skin. It’s the perfect glow-up during busy work spells such as SNL week!"
"After removing the face mask with a warm towel, I spritzed the Cream Skin Toner onto her face and pressed it in with the palms of my hands. It’s enriched with nourishing ceramides and peptides for radiant, hydrated skin," she said.
Next, Hernandez mixed a few drops of this serum with a "quarter-size" amount of the Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream (see below) and massaged it onto Sweeney's skin. "This custom skincare cocktail adds a beautiful glow to the skin and helps set the stage for makeup application," she said.
Makeup Products
Mixing shades 4 and 6, Hernandez applied this iconic and makeup artist-approved foundation from Armani Beauty. Sweeney is the face of Armani Beauty, so it only makes sense she would use makeup products from the brand.
This foundation is oil-free, delivers medium coverage, and has a luminous finish. It looks just as good in photos as it does in real life. That's why you'd be hard-pressed to find a beauty editor that doesn't have a bottle of this foundation in their collection.
Hair Products
The Old Hollywood–esque blowout that Oropeza styled for Sweeney was so timeless. To create the look, he started by applying this smoothing leave-in treatment to Sweeney's damp hair. It contains amino acids, lactic acid, and tartaric acid to bind each hair strand and target damage. It also provides heat protection against subsequent styling tools.
Here's the only heat tool Oropeza used. Starting with the concentrator attachment, he rough-dried Sweeney's hair. Then, he switched to the oval brush attachment to smooth her hair. To create that classic wave, he switched to the auto-wrap curler attachment and curled her hair in one direction, being sure to leave out face-framing pieces. Finally, he switched the same attachment to the other direction to curl the front pieces of her hair away from the face.
