Last night’s Met Gala was a showcase of all different types of beauty looks, from Charli XCX’s grungy ‘90s-inspired makeup to Ayo Edebiri’s statement blush moment. Regarded as the biggest night in fashion, the annual fundraiser for the Met’s Costume Institute has become an opportunity for celebrities to experiment with boundary-pushing style and beauty. That being said, some stars opt to go the classic glam route, a tried-and-true approach to slaying a red carpet. Case in point: Gigi Hadid and her bombshell red lip.
Hadid scaled the iconic Met steps in a gorgeous, sculptural Thom Browne gown adorned with yellow roses—right on the mark for the event’s “Garden of Time” theme. But it was the model’s timeless makeup that pulled the whole look together, created entirely with Maybelline New York products you can find in the drugstore beauty aisle—and Amazon.
Maybelline Super Stay Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipstick in Red-Hot
The standout detail of the look is, of course, Hadid’s striking red lip, which was achieved by combining two shades of Maybelline’s Super Stay Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipstick—Red-Hot and Wicked. Once it dries, this longwear lippie is budge-proof and smudge-proof for up to 16 hours, meaning you don’t have to worry about touch-ups throughout the night. Even better? It’s currently available on Amazon for less than $10.
Red-Hot is an electrifying true red shade with orange undertones. Like every shade of the Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipstick, it has major color payoff and a shiny, almost reflective finish for a truly bold statement lip. When you think of a classic red lip, this is the shade that comes to mind.
Maybelline Super Stay Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipstick in Wicked
Wicked, the other shade Hadid wore for the Met Gala, is a bit moodier. It’s a vampy berry red with blue undertones, with the same signature Vinyl Ink glossy finish. Whether you decide to take a page out of Hadid’s book by pairing the two shades together, or you prefer to stick to one at a time, you don’t want to miss the chance to add these lippies to your Amazon cart while they’re just under $10.
