Even if you don’t officially consider yourself a Swiftie, you likely know that Taylor Swift loves her red lipstick. Whether she’s walking the red carpet, kissing Travis Kelce on the sidelines at Chiefs games, or performing on stage at the Eras Tour, a bright red lip is part of the singer’s signature style. And somehow, some way, her go-to shade appears to be transfer-proof, barely needing a touch-up throughout the night.
That’s all thanks to Pat McGrath Labs, the brand behind Taylor Swift‘s favorite red lipstick. However, once the makeup artist and CEO revealed that the secret behind the pop star’s perfect, performance-approved pout was Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipstick in Elson, the shade quickly sold out.
But now, it’s finally back in stock at Nordstrom.
Of course, you’ll want to act quickly, especially since the Eras Tour is starting up again soon. Those who have managed to score Taylor Swift concert tickets will probably be scooping up the specific shade to add to their outfits, causing it to sell out again. It’s also a great way to celebrate Swift’s newest album, The Tortured Poets Department, which is out on April 19.
Should you need further convincing, the Pat McGrath Labs lipstick gets glowing reviews, too, and Nordstrom customers swear they’ll be back to buy to buy more shades.
“This lipstick has full body and stay on power,” one person shared. “Never have to touch up for hours and hours! I’m ordering more colors!”
Another customer wrote about how Elson, Obsessed and Full Panic are all standout options.
“If you like a vibrant saturated color in your lipsticks, this is the one,” they said.
Still, this isn’t the only Pat McGrath item that Swift can’t stop shopping.
Aside from selling ‘Taylor-Made’ Kits with all the products used by the pop star, Pat McGrath also revealed that Swift wore the LiquiLUST: Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick for her “Bejeweled” video. While the specific red Elson 4 shade is currently sold out, you can still buy the product at Sephora in alternative colors.

Similar to the Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipstick, the liquid lipstick version is lightweight, velvety and comfortable to wear—not to mention the smooth, soft matte finish lasts for up to 12 hours.
The product has also earned a 4.6-star overall rating at Sephora, which is quite impressive if you ask us.
“I wore this all day today as a wear test for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour, and let me tell you, this lipstick is amazing,” raved one Swiftie. “I am nine hours into my day and I haven’t had to reapply at all and it hasn’t moved. Love it!”
While we continue to keep our eyes peeled for when the LiquiLUST is restocked, take advantage of what’s available now and shop Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipstick in Elson before it’s too late!
