Taylor Swift Attended The VMAs With Her Signature Red Lip: How To Recreate The Look

Taylor Swift had a fantastic night at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards. The 32-year-old singer, whose All Too Well: The Short Film won video of the year, best long-form video, and best direction, looked stunning in an Oscar De La Renta gown, diamond earrings, and her signature red lip.

McGrath shared a product breakdown and step-by-step tutorial on Instagram on Sunday for fans who want to recreate the look (Aug. 28). Recreate Swift’s red lip with Pat McGrath Labs PermaGel Ultra Lip Pencil in blood lust, PermaGel Ultra Lip Pencil in deep dive for the outer corners, and LiquiLUST matte lipstick in vivid blue red ($32).

This fan-favorite matte lipstick, available at Sephora and PatMcGrath.com, is designed to cover your lips in an ultra-velvety veil of deeply saturated colour, with up to 12 hours of wear and no smudging or transferring. PMG Labs’ LiquiLUST is available in a variety of colours, including the vivid blue red Swift wore, as well as lush pink, warm nudes, and deep bronze.

McGrath applied Perma Precision Liquid Eyeliner and FetishEYES Mascara to Swift’s perfect cat-eye. Swift’s VMAs glam also included Sublime Perfection primer, foundation, concealer, and setting powder.

McGrath used Divine Blush in nude venus and divine rose on her cheeks, as well as Skin Fetish Highlighter + Balm Duo in nude.

But let’s get back to the red lip! What is it about red lipstick that makes it so appealing? It’s timeless, goes with everything, and can be worn from day to night. Swift, for example, wore a custom blue Moschino romper and Alexander McQueen Butterfly Glitter Ankle Strap Platform Sandals ($1,090.00) to the VMAs and after-party.
