Anyone who knows anything about having their picture taken in a professional setting will know the importance of having every. single. hair. in place.

And despite wind and rain this weekend, the Logies 2025 is no exception.

Backstage in the dressing rooms, we spied the budget product your grandmother would have used and loved.

L’Oreal Paris’ Elnett Satin Supreme Hold Hairspray, which costs just $9 on Amazon Australia, has for a long time been dubbed the worst-kept secret in the beauty industry.

Founded in 1960, the spray has become the go-to for stylists the world over seeking the strongest hold, an ultra-fine mist that will disappear at the single stroke of a brush and a long-lasting finish that will see you into the wee hours.

Classics are classics for a reason. Get yours here.

Picture the scene. You’re one of this year’s Logies biggest stars.

You’ve spent the entire week looking after yourself. Drinking green juice, working out, clocking your eight hours sleep, moisturising, you get the picture.

Next minute, you wake up this morning and you’ve got a massive pimple right in the middle of your face.

Now, without naming any names, what we can tell you is that we spotted these Rael Pimple Patches ($28.99; Amazon Australia) in the dressing rooms of a few of this year’s biggest stars — so you know they’re the real deal.

Promising to “gently draw out pus and impurities straight from the source”, the key thing about these pimple patches is they are all-but-invisible.

Coming in two sizes (10mm and 12mm), they provide a clear matte finish that works without anyone noticing them.

With a 4.4 star rating on Amazon Australia, it’s not only the stars who love them either.

More than 76,000 shoppers have left glowing reviews.

“Best pimple patches I’ve tested so far!” wrote one.

“My new go-to,” another added.

3. Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micellar Water, $18.99, Amazon Australia

It’s the beauty product everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to Victoria Beckham has in their makeup bag.

So it’s no surprise that we spotted Bioderma’s Sensibio H20 Micellar Water ($18.99; Amazon Australia) behind the scenes at the Logies.

Not only is this French product the bees knees in removing makeup and drawing out any impurities from the skin, but it also works fantastically to clear up makeup mistakes in a dressing room with a cotton bud.

Most importantly, it also doesn’t leave the skin red and angry after use.

Thanks to its sensitive-approved ingredients, the micellar water works to preserve the skin’s healthy microbiome, while respecting your complexion’s barrier.

Personally, I permanently have one of these out in my bathroom and another in the drawer “just in case”.

It’s really that good.

4. La Roche Posay Body Milk Moisturiser, $35.99, Amazon Australia

Making your legs look like they have just spent July in Italy rather than curled up in pant suits in the cool Aussie winter is no mean feat.

But with a lick of self-tan and La Roche Posay’s Body Milk Moisturiser ($35.99; Amazon Australia), the stars are ready for their close-up — and have never looked better.

The La Roche Posay Body Milk has long been a favourite of those in the know, with many citing its lightweight formula and rich feel on the skin as standout features.

“This stuff works. Great moisturiser but not greasy. You’ll notice the difference in a week,” one of the thousands of happy shoppers wrote on Amazon Australia.

“Used to have dry and itchy skin. This lotion took care of it. Skin feels deeply moisturized and smooth. Also like that’s unscented. Highly recommend,” another added.

5. NYX Professional Makeup Primer, $14.97, Amazon Australia

In my humble opinion, a good makeup primer is worth its weight in gold.

It’s the thing that’s going to see a Logies look right through to the bitter end of the after party.

And I highly doubt that many of them will have done without this budget buy spotted backstage.

Enter NYX’s Professional Makeup Primer ($14.97; Amazon Australia).

Promising to even out skin tone, minimise texture, and reduce fine lines, a few dollops of this product makes putting on makeup that much easier.

It also means that foundation will last “up to 16 hours” — more than enough time to enjoy the ceremony and party.

The ladies aren’t the only ones needing a quick blot before hitting up the red carpet.

Many of our favourite stars, male and female, were quick to try out the DuCare Oil Blotting Sheets for the Face ($11.19; Amazon Australia).

Made with 100 per cent natural linen fibre paper and Green Tea, these fragrance-free blotting papers are perfect for sensitive skin as they work to remove excess oil and sebum — without causing irritation.

The best thing about these blotters is you don’t need to do any wiping.

Instead, just hold the paper against your cheek, forehead or chin and just two seconds later, your skin is far less oily to the look and touch.

We’ve all been there.

The shoes look SO good, but you just know they are going to cause a blister or two if you have to walk more than 10 feet.

Enter Compeed’s Mixed Size Blister Plasters ($11.25; Amazon Australia), a saviour both on the Logies red carpet and red carpets around the world.

We saw more than a few women hiding these underneath their stilettos before heading out to face the music.

With deep cushioning to relieve pressure and prevent painful rubbing and hydrocolloid gel technology to create an optimal healing environment for foot blisters, this Compeed product really stops blisters in their tracks.

The handy box is small enough to fit in a clutch bag or pocket, and there are several different sizes depending on the size of your sore spot.

Last but not least, where would almost anyone be without fashion tape to hold those gravity-defying dresses and thigh high slits in place?

This Clutch Fashion Glue is the go-to of stylists in the know, thanks to its ability to hold clothes in place — and then come out in the wash.

Available in 15mL and 30mL tubes, the stylists were going through tub after tub of this in the final checks before the stars headed into The Star itself.

You can snap up a tube of your own for just $29 on Amazon Australia.

NYX Professional Makeup The Face Glue Setting Spray, $14.99

A must for keeping your makeup fresh under those unforgiving red carpet lights, this setting spray is waterproof, transfer-resistant and flake-free.

It locks everything in place without adding extra shine.

A few spritzes and your glam is sorted for the night — or at least until the afterparty.

Lancôme Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Foundation, $83

There’s a reason this foundation is a backstage staple.

The full coverage is buildable and breathable, so you can wear it from morning media calls through to the last glass of bubbles.

It’s also transfer-proof, which means no awkward foundation marks on suit lapels or evening gowns.

Celeb-approved and worth every cent.

Yes, it sounds weird. No, it’s not a gimmick.
