Amber Heard Found The Best Red Lipstick & It’s $5 At Target
Winter is the season for cozy sweaters, chunky scarves, and bold, red lips. It's often tough to find the perfect color to compliment those rosy-hued cheeks, though, especially on the shelves of your local drugstore. Yet, that's precisely where to find Amber Heard's red lipstick from her latest red-carpet look.
Everyone from Viola Davis to Chrissy Teigen graced the stage of Glamour's annual Women of the Year Awards on Mon. night, and while she didn't win an award herself, Heard could have taken home the trophy for the best look of the night. The actor sported a strapless white Oscar de la Renta gown with a floral-appliquéd bodice and flouncy skirt. Her blonde hair was pulled back in an elegant twist with a voluminous face-framing curl, and her makeup was kept subtle except for a powerful red lip.
Heard wore neutral hues with bold, black lashes and the shade of the moment on her lips. The eye-catching deep rouge tint was courtesy of L'Oréal Paris' Colour Riche Lip Color in Divine Wine, according to her makeup artist, Quinn Murphy. And you'll be happy to discover that you can snag the exact hue from your local Target for only $5.
Get The Look
The Aquaman actor defied the age-old "no white after Labor Day" rule with her glitzy white gown, but paired it with contrasting black pumps and an oversized blazer, which she sported on stage to present Viola Davis with an award. The bold lip choice completed her black-and-white look with a necessary pop of color for the ultimate winter-ready look.
Heard's drugstore lipstick provided her with the richest color, and because the formula is loaded with omega 3, vitamin E, and argan oil, it helped keep her lips soft and hydrated in the winter dryness, too. If you're in the market for a budget-friendly lip color, L'Oréal Paris is the fail-proof brand that celebrities often reach for. Blake Lively, for instance, wore the same lipstick in the soft-pink Varnished Rosewood hue to the 2018 Met Gala earlier in the year. Helen Mirren also wore it in a bolder shade, Devil's Matte-Vocate Red, to the 2018 Golden Globes and Carbi B opted for Matte-ly in Love for the American Music Awards.
Consider your winter wardrobe incomplete without the perfect red lipstick to top off your warmest ensembles. Copy Heard and pair a rich wine shade with all of your holiday outfits this year. Ahead, The Zoe Report's favorite red hues on the market right now.
