Taylor Swift and I have something in common. We both have a fiery love for red lipstick. From the age of 13, I discovered my signature shade at the Clinique counter, and it’s been my go-to ever since. Just like the glamorous Ms. Swift herself.

Let’s talk about Taylor and her red lipstick obsession. It’s practically a part of her DNA. She can’t help but mention red lips in her songs like “Blank Space,” “Style,” “Wildest Dreams,” and “End Game” – just to name a few. And she’s proclaimed her love for a few specific lipsticks along the way, like NARS’s Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl and Covergirl’s Exhibitionist Lipstick in Hot. It’s become an integral part of her iconic look and her identity as a pop superstar.

But hold the phone, folks! Lately, there’s been a shade shift in Taylor’s lipstick game. Instead of her usual bright, poppy red, she’s been sporting a deep, luxurious blue-red color. She’s been spotted rocking Pat McGrath Labs’ LiquiLust Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick in Elson 4. She’s even worn it during her Eras tour, rain and all, and while cheering on her rumored boyfriend, NFL superstar Travis Kelce, from the VIP box. Talk about dedication!

Now, let’s dive into the formula of this lipstick. LiquiLust Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick is not your average liquid lipstick. It’s lightweight and velvety, without leaving your lips feeling like the Sahara. It’s smudge-proof, transfer-proof, and promises up to 12 hours of vibrant color and wear. Perfect for a three-hour show like Taylor’s Eras tour.

This lipstick comes in both matte and shimmering metallic formulations, offering something for everyone. And can we talk about Elson 4? It’s a luscious blue-based red with a matte finish, making it a dead ringer for the shade Taylor has been slaying lately.

We know Taylor is a fan of Pat McGrath Labs and its iconic founder, makeup artist Pat McGrath herself. She even made an appearance in Taylor’s “Bejeweled” music video and did her makeup for the video. In fact, there was a whole “Taylor-Made” lip set featuring Elson 4, but it sold out in a flash. Don’t worry, I snagged a tube just in time to put it to the test and see if it lives up to the hype.

Let’s get personal. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve worn a liquid lipstick. I rarely put on lipstick during the day now that I work from home. But let me tell you, Elson 4 shattered my outdated perception of liquid lipsticks. It glides on like velvet, thanks to its pointed brush applicator designed for stress-free application. I even applied it in a moving car, and disaster was averted. If that’s not a testament to its ease of use, I don’t know what is.

But let’s talk about the real star of the show – the color. Red lipsticks are a dime a dozen, but finding a truly exceptional deep blue-red can feel like a quest for the Holy Grail. Well, my friends, Elson 4 is the embodiment of a dazzling blue-red shade. After a few wears, I understand why Taylor is absolutely smitten with it. Not only does it feel incredible on the lips, even after hours of wear, but it also fades gracefully without any patchiness or flaking. It’s true perfection.

So, there you have it. Pat McGrath’s LiquiLust Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick in Elson 4 is a winner in Taylor’s arsenal – and in mine too. It’s a must-have for any red lipstick lover. And if you’re still not convinced, just ask Travis Kelce. He’s clearly a fan of the “red lip, classic thing” that Taylor rocks. I dare you to resist its charm.

My Review

It’s time to spill the tea on my personal experience with Elson 4. As I mentioned earlier, wearing liquid lipstick has become a distant memory for me. But let me tell you, Elson 4 revitalized my love affair with liquid lipsticks.

This shade is a game-changer. Red lipsticks are a dime a dozen, but finding that perfect deep blue-red is like stumbling upon a mythical creature. Elson 4, my friends, is that mythical creature. It’s an alluring shade that demands attention and leaves a lasting impression.

The formula is a dream. It glides on effortlessly, thanks to its pointed brush applicator. Even in a moving car, I managed to apply it flawlessly – take that, James Bond. And let’s not forget about the comfort factor. It feels heavenly on the lips, even after hours of wear. No dryness or discomfort here, folks!

But the best part? Its longevity is unparalleled. It stays put, no matter what life throws at you – rain, sipping cocktails, or devouring a plate of messy tacos. It’s a lipstick that won’t let you down.

In conclusion, if you’re in the market for a show-stopping, head-turning, and confidence-boosting red lipstick, Elson 4 is your golden ticket. Join Taylor Swift and me in embracing this stunning shade. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
