During Phoebe Bridgers’s “Saturday Night Live” performance, the singer-songwriter’s deep bordeaux pout was a standout beauty statement.
Because You Were Wondering: This Is the Lipstick Phoebe Bridgers Wore on “Saturday Night Live”
During her Saturday Night Live debut this weekend, Phoebe Bridgers performed songs from her Grammy-nominated album Punisher and gave viewers plenty to talk about. There was her Gucci skeleton dress. That already-legendary guitar smash. And, for eagle-eyed beauty lovers, there was her deep bordeaux pout.
Much like Bridgers's guitar-splintering finale, the 26-year-old singer-songwriter's choice lipstick mirrored the mood of the moment. A darker alternative to a classic red lip, the neo-gothic shade is fitting for these times of heightened emotions, as well as the slog of the winter months. Plus, it was extremely striking against her head of white-platinum hair, porcelain complexion, and washes of fleshy blush.
NARS Audacious Lipstick in Bette
$34NARSTapping her makeup artist Gianpaolo Ceciliato, we learned the shade saturating Bridgers's lips was none other than NARS’s Audacious lipstick in Bette, which was named after Hollywood legend—and tough-as-nails broad—Bette Davis. A creamy warm-toned, medium-dark burgundy with a glossy finish, the shade, which Ceciliato hails as the "perfect tone of Bordeaux," is universally flattering and one swipe yields an instantly bold statement. For extra cool points, make like Bridgers and blur the edges for a more lived-in, wine-stained effect. Whether looking for a new bolt of color, or settling into the mood of a different kind of Valentine's Day vibe this year, Bridgers’s choice lip is a splendid source of inspiration.
