On the August 13 episode of New Heights with boyfriend Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift dropped more than casual football banter. She has released her upcoming album, “The Life of a Showgirl.” Between disassembling the cover artwork and examining the inevitable Easter eggs, we were trapped in something else: the colour of Taylor Swift’s lipstick.
Several beauty detectives are sure the 14-time Grammy winners wore rare beauty soft pinch-colored lip oil on their shadejoy when they appeared on the podcast. But given Swift’s track record (and the notable matte finish seen in singers), we’re betting on our familiar favorite, Nars lipstick from Morocco.
Warm, the terracotta tint is a notable shift from the blue-red Elson 4 of the touring glamour of her era, Pat McGrath, but it’s not in unknown territory. Swift’s worn-out Morocco from the Kansas City Chiefs Games onwards was confirmed last year when she was her longtime makeup artist. Rory Turkin her Instagram story, shares that the shade is spinning “for years.” With a rich terracotta base and warm undertones, Morocco is familiar with Swift’s fair skin and dirty blonde hair, avoiding the hard tones of true redness, or true “showgirl life” orange.
I wonder if this pink, earthy neutral is more than just a moment. Swift prefers soft shades from the stage during this showgirl era, so can she put her signature red lipstick shade in the safe, at least for now? If the past is any indication, her lipstick choices tend to be as intentional as her album aesthetics, and NARS’ Morocco feels like a deliberate and mood-changing movement.
That said, Swift doesn’t leave a complete crimson staple food in the bag. In some of the “The Life of a Showgirl” promotional images, Swift is incredibly abundant on her classic red lips. Pat McGrass Lab’s Elson 4, Mac’s Ruby Woo, Narus’ Dragon Girl, Chanel’s Pirate-like shades always remain a critical part of her signature look. The cover artwork for “The Life of a Showgirl” shows Swift expanding into the new lip-coloured area. The singer appears to be approaching the air with a belly tone high-gloss smile (Pat McGrass Lab’s lip fetish fetish lips have a similar effect with Bell Amore).
However, NARS’ Moroccan lipstick is played in another lane. The lanes take advantage of the duality between Swift personas on stage. The pink undertones reflect the colorway resonate with the artwork of “The Life of a Showgirl,” guide the retro charm in a softer, more wearable way.
From berry to blue red to terracotta, Swift has a full range of shades that attempt to emulate icons. Below we step into the showgirl era with NARS Moroccan lipstick, as well as the more quickly approved lipstick shades.
