Want Taylor Swift's Red Lipstick? Try Any Of These 10 Lip Products To Copy The Music Industry Savior's Pout
It's all about Taylor Swift, her new, non-country album 1989, and her red lips this week. Taylor Swift's red lips are her signature as much as her ability to write a pop song hook that embeds itself in your brain.
Sure, the singer, who is on track sell a million copies of 1989, has been seen with other colors on her lips. Yes, she looks amaze no matter what shade with which she paints her pout, but a red pucker really is her thing.
Swift has admitted that she doesn't have a drawer containing every red shade in existence and that she has been partial to NARS' Dragon Girl lately, saying, "I never really get too far from red lipstick, do I? I guess I just think my face looks worse without it. That's pretty much the only rationale behind it."
Well, though I think T. Swizzle's face aways looks good, here are 10 red lip products that allow you to copy her rich, crimson pout.
NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl
This creamy, velvet-y red crayon, namechecked by T. Swizzle as a personal fave, is the perfect formula and shade for fall. It’s pretty universal but it’s hard to find, so you may have to do some web or eBay scouring.
