Taylor Swift’s Favorite Red Lipstick Is Finally Available Again
Taylor Swift’s signature red lip is as iconic as her chart-topping hits. Since debuting her bold red pout in 2009, Swift has made the classic blue-toned red lipstick a key part of her look.
Over the years, her go-to shade may have evolved, but her love for a striking red lip has remained constant. Most recently, in her viral "Bejeweled" music video, Swift stunned with a matte red lip courtesy of Pat McGrath Labs, and the exact shade she wore is finally back in stock!

Pat McGrath’s LiquiLUST: Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick in Elson 4 is the show-stopping red that Taylor’s been wearing, and fans can now snag it again. Known for its lightweight, velvety texture, this long-lasting formula doesn’t dry out your lips, making it perfect for bold looks that last all day.
The Story Behind Taylor’s Iconic Red Lip
Taylor’s love affair with red lipstick started in 2009, thanks to makeup artist Gucci Westman. In a bold move, Westman introduced the then-country star to a red lip. Though it required Andrea Swift’s (Taylor’s mom) approval, the look was an instant hit. Since then, Swift has embraced red lipstick as a part of her persona.

In an interview, Swift explained that red lipstick helps her express emotion, both on stage and off. Whether she’s performing during her Eras Tour, attending premieres, or cheering on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, the bold red lip remains a constant in her style.
