A red lip is a lot like Goldie Locks and the Three Bears—some shades are too dark, some are too bright, some are too matte and some are too light. Finding the red lipstick that is “just right” can make you feel like you’re going in circles. There are few things as chic as a classic red lip, though, so pursuing the perfect red lipstick is not destined to be fruitless.
Enter Ana de Armas, one of our favorite beauty inspirations for timeless, classy looks. De Armas appeared at the Toronto Film Festival this week, rocking what we would call the perfect red lip—the shade is rich, the coverage is complete and the semi-glossy finish is the cherry on top. And, thanks to her makeup artist, Mélanie Inglessis, we know exactly what product she used to create the quintessential red lip.
Ana de Armas’ Splurge-Worthy Red Lip Product
Whether on screen in blockbusters like Knives Out or at red carpet interviews, de Armas is the picture of timeless beauty. For her Toronto Film Festival look, the actress opted for a nude gown paired with loose waves and glowing skin, making room for her glossy red lip to be the centerpiece of the look. The product behind the red-lip accessory: Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv The Diamond Serum Lipstick ($100) in shade Empress.
Inglessis expressed her love for the product in the caption for the behind-the-scenes video of de Armas applying the splurge-worthy lipstick. She notes that “the texture is so luxurious, the color pay off is incredible and it’s good for your lips, so it’s a winner,” and we couldn’t agree more.
