Jenna Lyons might be a fashion icon, but her latest makeup look is going on my mood board immediately. On March 3, the Real Housewives of New York City star was spotted outside the Today Show, wearing her signature corporate-chic, menswear-inspired uniform: a button-up shirt and tie under a sweater vest, all of which were tucked into white jeans, and finished off with an oversized blazer and a puffer coat. The masterclass in layering aside, Lyon’s simple but striking makeup look proves a timely hypothesis, aptly known as the red lipstick theory.
“If you are wearing nothing on your face but a red lipstick, your skin will look more even,” content creator Alexis Androulakis, said in her now viral video on the theory. In a chic street style moment, Lyons paired a warm-toned version of the shade with oversized sunglasses, and her lightly-curled hair bounced in the wind as she walked.
