How To Get Gigi Hadid’s Perfect Red Pout

Hint: It’s all about mixing things up!

When Gigi Hadid stepped out on the red carpet at the IHeartRadio MuchMusic Video awards this week – it wasn’t just her bold red Mugler suit that stopped us in our tracks.

We couldn’t get past her perfect red lip. 

The red lip is the LBD of make-up, and we’re always looking for new ways to wear it.

Gigi’s look is the perfect example, of how a red lip can make you look like a million bucks – when in reality it only has to cost a couple. 

Makeup artist Patrick Ta created Gigi’s look by mixing together two shades from the Maybelline New York The Loaded Bolds collection, Smoking Red (a flesh-toned lipstick to match her non-toured cheeks) and Orange Danger, to create her own personalised hue.

“It’s all about trial and error,” Ta tells marie claire US.  “I love mixing colours because it makes the look original. If you want the lip brighter, you can make it lighter, if you want it darker, you can have it darker. Just find lipsticks in the same colour family.”

Of course however, being Gigi – and the face of Maybelline – she’s the only one lucky enough to have her hands on this new range. So until it lands here in Australia, you can shop similar styles here
