All it takes is one of Dua Lipa's Instagram Stories to get us hooked on the next best makeup product – she's influential, didn't you know (after all, she does have 87.1 million followers). And if you're not keeping up to date with every one of the singer's 'Grams, no need to fret because I (along with my A1 stalking abilities) have got you covered. You're very welcome.
In a short but sweet IG video story, Dua filmed herself having her makeup done, specifically her lips. Now, as an eagle-eyed beauty fanatic, it only took one glance at the product for me to know exactly what her makeup artist, Samantha Lau used. But before we get to the big reveal, let's admire Dua's simple, no-fuss, yet clean and glam makeup look.
Although Dua has used a filter which may be adding to her look, we can see that Samantha has opted for her signature fluffy 'brow, a nude (if nothing) shadow on the eye, a few coats of mascara, medium coverage foundation, a flushed pink blush [to the gods] and of course, that infamous nude lip.
Whilst Samantha is yet to reveal the shade, the exact product on the star's lips is the MAKE UP FOREVER Artist Colour Pencil, £16.50 which can also be used on the eyes and eyebrows.
And just to prove how great the product really is, Dua isn't the only celebrity who loves this lip liner. In fact, Hailey Bieber once revealed in an in-depth TikTok makeup tutorial that the MAKE UP FOREVER Artist Colour Pencil in the shade 'Anywhere Caffeine' is her go-to.
The more you know, ey!
