After several seasons of showing off a smile in which our lips have been dyed nude and pink tones, it seems that red is finally back. It has not disappeared 100% from makeup trends , but it must be recognized that it has given up its reign to other color ranges that, in matte or very shiny format and with or without contouring , have been a hit in recent years.
However, the catwalks have already confirmed it: the most classic and seductive colour is once again number one on the podium and only with a red lipstick will you be able to look perfect beyond the summer. Yes, because Richard Quinn or Saint Laurent are some of the brands that advance carmine as the (not) new trend of autumn, taking over from Gucci, Erdem, Carolina Herrera or Pam Hogg, who are already betting on it to create the most elegant beauty looks .
But it is true that for a proposal seen in a fashion show to end up being confirmed as a trend, it needs to be well received on the street, mainly by celebrities , who are the ones who mark and dictate the verdict on what is really in fashion. Thus, if nude lips started with Kylie Jenner and the gloss from the 2000s came back thanks to, among others, Hailey Bieber, now red lips have ended up becoming the favorites of many actresses and singers who have already worn them in their most important appearances.
One of the first to succumb to this beautiful shade was Sydneey Sweeney, who wore it a few months ago to the Jimmy Fallon Show. The singer relied on her usual makeup artist, Melissa Hernandez (who is also in charge of many of the makeup looks for her Euphoria co-star, Maude Apatow) to dazzle on the American television show, wearing her matching red outfit.
And if we are sure that red is going to regain its reign, it is because Taylor Swift herself took to the stage on her The Eras Tour to sing in front of thousands of people with makeup created by the star’s makeup artist, Lorrie Turk, in which carmine lips were the protagonists. Yes, because although the artist has traveled practically all over the world with her latest tour and has worn different beauty looks, her reddish smile has always been present.
A perfect color for everyone
If there’s one thing we like about red when it comes to lipstick, it’s that it doesn’t matter if you’re more or less dark-skinned, because it always flatters. It’s clear that both Taylor Swift and Sydney Sweeney look good, yes, but this passionate shade doesn’t only suit blondes with light skin, it also suits those with completely opposite features. We have proof of this, not only on the catwalks where models of different ethnicities are seen wearing this colour, but also on Rita Ora, who looked gorgeous in a total look (makeup included) at the presentation in New York of the film Descendants: The Rise of Red.
