While Deepika Padukone, a jury member at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, stunned us with her first appearance at the festival, the second one was just as exciting. We saw her don a powerful black pant-suit that exuded classy vibes, with a stunning serpent necklace. As much as we loved seeing this avatar of the actress, our eyes were fixated on something else entirely. Yep, her makeup as always. Is there anything Deepika can’t do?
Her makeup artist, Sandhya Shekar has weaved magic with this particular daytime makeup look. She chose to keep the base matte but also slightly breathable, yay summer! Deepika’s bushy eyebrows are perfectly tamed and filled in. Her eye makeup happens to be extremely subtle, like a soft wash of earthy browns— we LOVE it! Sandhya opted for a warm, sunkissed vibe for Deepika’s cheeks, something that’s perfect for summer makeup. However, the star of the show has got to be her bold, red lips. Deepika’s defo got that red lip classic thing going on with the most elegance. We happen to be suckers for a red lip because let’s face it— it makes you feel like you can conquer the world, no?
If you’ve been scouring for a red lippie and ace it just like our girl Deepika here, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few red lipsticks on our radar right now—
Revlon, Color Stay Satin Ink in My Own Boss
The Color Stay Satin Ink by Revlon is a super comfortable lipstick that’s long-lasting. Enriched with vitamin E and black currant seed oil, which are ingredients that ensure your lips stay healthy throughout. Promising a 16-hour stay, the satin-finish of this lipstick is something you’re going to love! A bright red that can light up any room, this hue is defo a dream come true.
Charlotte Tilbury, Matte Revolution in Red Carpet Red
A cult favourite for all the right reasons, Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Revolution lipstick has a formula like no other. A matte-finish formulation that’s infused with Orchid and Lipstick Tree extracts, this lippie hydrates and protects. What we love is that the tip of this lipstick is perfect for precise application. Just as the name suggests, this colour is a stunning red that’s truly made for glamorous red carpets.
DIOR Rouge, Forever Dior Liquid Lipstick in 999
Did anyone say luxe lips? DIOR Rouge’s Forever Dior Liquid Lipstick is probably one of the most long-wearing lipsticks I’ve ever used. A super lightweight liquid matte lipstick, this one feels as light as air. A striking pigment that’s so rich in colour, the Forever Dior Liquid Lipstick coats your lips with opulence. 999 is the iconic DIOR red that’s never going out of style.
MAC Cosmetics, Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo
Another legendary lipstick that was the stepping stone into the world of beauty for many of us, MAC Cosmetics’ Retro Matte Lipstick is an international favourite. It has an intense matte finish that refuses to budge or transfer! With bold pigment that offers full coverage in just one swipe, you’re defo missing out if you haven’t tried this lipstick out already. Ruby Woo is a renowned shade that is lovingly called a “true red” which means no hints of blue or orange undertones here!
Plum, Matte In Heaven Liquid Lipstick in Caramello
Liquid lipsticks are a messiah especially when you’re someone who can’t get into the hassles of reapplying your lipstick multiple times a day. Plum’s Matte In Heaven Liquid Lipstick is a cruelty-free and vegan liquid lipstick formulated using vitamin e. It possesses a soft formula that ensures your lips are far from drying. Caramello is a vivid terracotta red that will certainly make heads turn.
Fenty Beauty, Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Colour in Uncensored
The beauty mogul and ex-musician Rihanna caused ripples in the beauty industry with the launch of Fenty Beauty. The Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Colour was one of the very first products she launched and it went off the shelves like magic. Its pigment is so weightless that it almost feels like you’re wearing nothing on your lips. What we love about this lipstick is its precise applicator wand, it ensures defined application in one stroke. Uncensored is a universal red shade that flatters every skin tone, yep I actually tested it on 4 people with different skin tones.
