From her monumental Eras Tour to her record-making concert film, which has become the most profitable in history, there is no denying that anything Taylor Swift touches seems to turn to gold.
Many recently worked themselves into a frenzy when the two goddesses of music, Taylor Swift and Beyonce, posed on the red carpet together at the world premiere of the movie. Queen B conquered hearts in a sculpted metal bodice, while Taylor mesmerised her fans in an ethereal Oscar de la Renta gown.
Swifties were also quick to spot that Miss Americana had made sure to don “that red lip, classic thing that you like”, a signature look that has accompanied her through her eras.
If you’ve been wanting to upgrade your pout by recreating the iconic look, here is an insightful look at the luscious red lip products Swift opts for.
Pat McGrath LiquiLust Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick
Famed make-up artist Pat McGrath knows a thing or two about the red lip products Swift prefers, having styled her make-up for the Bejeweled music video, in which the singer looked nothing short of perfect.
The MUA was generous enough to reveal that the star wore the brand’s LiquiLust Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick in colour Elson 4 to create the look.
The lipstick is known for the soft, velvety feel it leaves on lips, as well as its smudge-proof formula that can last for up to 12 hours.
Alternatively, for those who want to get the lipstick and lip pencil combo at once, McGrath’s brand created a Lip Kit that is “Taylor-Made” for fans of the look.
The kit includes the LiquiLust Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick in the colour Elson 4 alongside the PermaGel Ultra Lip Pencil in Deep Dive.
NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil
During an interview with MTV, Swift revealed that one of her go-to lip pencils is NARS’s Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in colour Dragon Girl.
She gushed that you can’t “go wrong [with] Dragon Girl by NARS”, a long-wearing lip colour that combines the easy application of a jumbo pencil with the coverage of a lipstick.
MAC Ruby Woo
MAC’s Ruby Woo has been the go-to red shade for many make-up artists and celebrities over the years, so red lip aficionados will not be surprised to hear that Swift loves the lippie, too.
Talking about it to People magazine, Miss Americana revealed: “[I] recently discovered Ruby Woo by MAC, which I think everyone knows is a staple. I was the last person to discover it.”
Maybelline Colour Sensational Made For All Lipstick
While Taylor herself hasn’t shared that she uses this specific product, Maybelline’s Colour Sensational Made for All Lipstick in the shade 382 Red For Me is a widely beloved dupe for MAC’s Ruby Woo.
For those who want to recreate Swift’s signature red lip on a budget, this is the perfect high-street equivalent.
