Fashion Week has officially been and gone here in Australia. As always, the week was full of drool-worthy garments, next season’s trends and ‘it’ girl appearances. And if you’re asking us beauty lovers, it was also a treasure trove of beauty recommendations. In particular, a drugstore lipstick as seen on model Jessica Gomes.
In a video shared to Instagram by the brains behind the look, celebrity makeup artist Chantelle Baker, we were blessed with the exact product and shade behind Jessica’s stunning pinky-nude pout.
What lipstick did Jessica Gomes wear to fashion week?
Much to our surprise, the lipstick was neither sold out, discontinued or hideously expensive. If you follow celebrity makeup recommendations closely, you’ll understand why hitting this trifecta is a wonderful but rare occurrence. In fact, you can pick it up in Big W for a cool $25 today, if you so wish.
OK, enough stalling. The lipstick in question is the L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick in the shade ‘Nude Admirable’ ($25, Big W).
The sleek and narrow bullet houses L’Oreal’s 16-hour wear, matte lippy. As the formulation has been cleverly enriched with both hyaluronic acid and argan oil, the finish mightn’t look shiny or glossy, however, that doesn’t mean it lacks hydration and nourishment.
Not only did the soft pink make the perfect accompaniment to Jessica’s striking cat eye, the transfer-proof and smudge-free formulation means no amount of sipping champagne or kissing people on the cheek will cause it to fade. Sounds as if it were designed specifically for fashion shows and after parties, wouldn’t you say?
But, you don’t require an invite to sit front row to justify needing this lipstick. If you’re someone who would rather not worry whether their lipstick has faded after 10 minutes or questioning whether the dry formulation has bled into your chapped lips, you can’t go wrong with this supermarket staple.

Have you tried this L’Oreal lipstick? If not, would you like to?
I didn’t realise Big W sold this lipstick. I love this shade.
It is a lovely every day shade.
It’s a very nice shade!
Yes very nice shade, a little too pink for me but still think it is nice
Yeh a bit too pink for mwah too.
I haven’t tried this and I do like the colour of it.

ive had this lipstick for around 9 months before it went viral… and i like it. it is matte though… nice colours and good vibrant range too. i must review
Yes so easy to forget
A nice neutral shade which will go with everything
Yes I would try it.
Gorgeous shade
Looks like a great new range.

It looks very pretty
Oh no, but would, looks quite good!
Yeh looks good on her but too pink for me! Would clash with my lime green eyes!!
Lime green ?
Not that shade for me though, not into pale “nudes” in general
Yeh you prefer brights & bolds don’t you Yoh?!
Something went wrong there. I meant to write I LIKE Colour Riche but haven’t tried this new one.
I haven’t tried this but I’d love to! Matte yeh!
Jessica suits this colour and I see she has perfected over the edge well.
I wish I liked matte lippies but they feel too drying on my lips
looks like a lovely shade
i like the pinkier nudes
I love the shade.
It’s a nice shade
Yeah I’d wear that shade during the day
yes a lovely day colour .
Something I’d wear, I like the colour.
That shade looks great on her, but I don’t think it would work as well for me. Might look at others in the range.
Nice creamy lipstick

Looks like a lovely colour!
I like that shade, perfect for me.
Looks lovely and I would like to give it a try.
I like her make up look. It is so natural.
I haven’t tried this lipstick but that is definitely my go to colour. Love it
For some reason my previous attempts to post on this article have disappeared – not even gone into moderation.
I dislike nudes, but I’d wear this in other shades.
I like this shade but am I the only one that thinks this doesn’t look like a matte? To me it looks like a satin.
