Taylor Swift’s red lipstick has been the subject of countless articles, tweets, and Instagram posts—but as it turns out, one of her go-to lipsticks isn’t even a crimson hue. She was also spotted at the VMAs last month wearing a warm, burnt orange pout, prompting fans to hunt for the new lipstick love in the singer’s life.
However, Swift’s makeup artist Lorrie Turk finally took to her Instagram stories to clear the air and reveal the mystery product; according to her, Swift actually uses the Nars Original Lipstick “all the time” and has “worn it for years.” If you were watching closely, the popstar also had it on during the Kansas City Chiefs game she attended on September 5.
Nars’s Original Lipstick collection contains the 12 shades that legendary makeup artist François Nars launched the brand with way back in 1994. The formula is super comfortable to wear, thanks to an infusion of plant-based oils that keep the lips moisturized all day long, which might be one of the reasons why Swift adores it so much. The shade she loves in particular is Morocco, and while it’s in stock right now, it’s already sold out once this week—so it might be a good idea to act fast if you want to get your hands on it as soon as possible.
Alternatively, the brand’s Air Matte Lip Color formula, a liquid lipstick with a creamy, mousse-like texture, also comes in Morocco. That one has also been hard to grab since Turk’s reveal, so consider yourself lucky if you find that one in stock, too. Another Nars favorite of Swift’s is the Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl, a bright red that was part of her look at the 2014 Met Gala.
To anyone else racing to snag a lipstick in Morocco before Nars runs out, we wish you the best of luck!
