Why we're loving Salma Hayek's rosy terracotta lipstick
Attending a private dinner in London, celebrating Gucci's Global Ambassador Jannik Sinner ahead of his Wimbledon matches, Salma Hayek posted her look to her Instagram on Friday, 28th June.
Dressed in a olive green suede ensemble, the actress adorned slightly tousled curls and warm red-undertone lipstick, that was somehow subtle yet standout, and made us want to recreate her lip colour of choice immediately.
Depending on the lighting, the lippie shade looks like a cross between a warm rosewood with an orange-toned terracotta - with flash photos of the star offering a more red undertone. Upon further investigating (and with the help of the Gucci tag in her caption), we believe Hayek to be wearing Gucci Beauty's iconic Rouge à Lèvres Voile lipstick in the shade '203 Mildred Rosewood' - a burgundy rosewood hue, as described the the brand.
Boasting a subtle pop of colour and a luminous shine finish, the warm rouge shade is the perfect versatile day-to-night shade. Pair it with a dewy complexion and the no mascara trend in the day or with a sultry eye look and bronzed glow in the evening.

Thanks to its effortlessly chic shade, Hayek's lip look is easy to recreate at home with just a few staple products. Firstly, It's important to prep lips before applying your lipstick, we'd recommend using a moisturising lip mask - such as TATCHA's The Kissu Lip Mask - this will soften, smooth and give a plumper appearance to your pout.
Once hydrated, use a lip liner to outline and define your lip shape, this will ensure long-lasting lipstick throughout the day, whilst preventing it from feathering and bleeding out of the lines. Next, take your rosy terracotta lippie of choice and swipe onto your lips. If you prefer to opt for a more glossy pout, layer a slightly lighter lip gloss over the top for that high impact shine - we love MAC's Clear Lipglass.
