AKA OUR new fave red lip combo

When you’ve got a face as off the scale on the bombshell charts as Olivia Culpo’s, it would really be a crime not to pull out a red lip every so often – her classic but striking features basically beg for the timeless glamour that a swipe of scarlet offers (and boy, do they look good when she rocks one).
But even with said genetic blessings on her side, Culpo knows success in the red lip department still comes down to the products you stock your beauty bag with; and based on the phenomenal formulas she keeps in hers (which she just revealed via her Instagram Story), it seems she’s got it down to a fine science.
Here are the liner and lipstick weapons Culpo uses to nail a red lip every single time…
Olivia Culpo's favourite lip liner
The lines of Culpo’s lips are always crisper than a winter’s day, so it’s no surprise that she starts the process with lip liner. This cult-classic cherry shade is her long-time fave, and if the razor-sharp outline of her pout is any indication, it’s a definite winner.
Olivia Culpo's favourite matte red lipstick
She may switch between two shades (Lana, a true tomato red, and Carmen, a more blue-based candy apple), but this super saturated soft matte lippy is her favourite formula across the board when she wants bold colour sans shine. Packed with pigment that won’t bleed, fade or feather, NARS’ Audacious Lipsticks are true one-swipe wonders, and that’s exactly why we (and Culpo) love them.
Olivia Culpo's favourite satin red lipstick
You can still get in on Culpo’s go-tos if mattes aren’t your vibe, though – she also has a preferred bullet for a sleek, satin finish: the Laura Mercier Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème Lipstick in Rouge Ultime. A silky lippy loaded with smoothing sea algae extract, it coats the lips in creamy crimson colour and lasts for hours without settling into lines – what more could you ask for?
