Discover the world of shopping and all that goes with it, from regular ol’ get-a-great-price, post-Black Friday deals, to sexy, celebrity-inspired, need-to-have-this-thing-right-now SALES. While I can’t stop looking at Ulta’s Happy Haul-idays Sale and Sephora’s Gifts For All Event, today, in this blessed post-Black Friday beauty sale hunting week, I am most intrigued by a never-previously-available discount on Pat McGrath lipstick, a renowned brand favored by none other than Taylor Swift herself.
This award-winning lip formula comes in an array of hues suitable for any skin tone (Taylor Swift’s pick is Elson, a blue-red). It looks perfectly matte but feels creamy and smooth going on and has racked up thousands of rave, 5-star reviews like this one: “Gives so much coverage on so little product. The color is rich and pops instantly. Smooth application. Worth every penny.” I have never seen it go on sale before, but you can score it now for almost 70% off! $12 at Pat McGrath
If you don’t know, Taylor Swift’s 2023 Eras Tour resulted in one of the biggest trends to date, with her perfect-red, always-on lip color taking center stage. She wore it throughout her tour, to Kansas City Chiefs games, and most recently, on dates with Travis Kelce, where Swift seemed to impressively smudge her signature lipstick all over the famous footballer’s face.
In fact, people are so captivated by the singer’s lip shade that the hashtag #taylorswiftlipstick currently has more than 1.5 million TikTok views. While you can snag Pat McGrath’s official ‘Taylor Made’ Lip Kit for $60 (as well as McGrath’s LiquiLUST, another alleged Eras Tour pick, for $34), there’s currently a major sale on the brand’s most iconic MatteTrance lipstick, which you can take home for just $12. The unofficial Swift shade is a deep blue-red called “Elson” though there are loads of good colors included in this deal if you want to stock up on more than just one.
Worried you can’t pull off this iconic hue? Fear not. Red lipstick can be worn no matter what your skin tone — or your birth year. According to celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg, “Adding a pop of color to your makeup routine is actually a great way to brighten your features. And when it comes to lipstick, red can definitely be worn at any age.”
