There’s something about a punchy lip colour on a red carpet that always grabs our attention. And while there were many outstanding Met Gala beauty looks this year, Miranda Kerr’s vampy lipstick moment scored 10/10 from us.
So, naturally, we did some digging to find out the exact product behind it. Her makeup artist (and hairstylist) for the event was Ericka Verrett, who exclusively used ILIA Beauty for Miranda’s elegant look.
When we reached out and asked for the details, she revealed that two shades were responsible for crafting the perfect lip colour…
Miranda Kerr’s Met Gala lipstick
Ericka shared that the lipstick in question was the ILIA Colour Block Lipstick ($47 at MECCA) in the shades ‘Tango’ (left) and ‘Ultra Violet’ (right).
‘Tango’ is a deep red shade with neutral undertones, while ‘Ultra Violet’ is a cool-toned violet.
This isn’t the first time the product has been featured in Miranda’s beauty routine, either. She often uses the shade ‘Marsala’ for her own cream blush hack, where she mixes it with face oil. Genius!
More Miranda Kerr Met Gala beauty details
Considering Miranda’s preference for clean and organic beauty, the use of ILIA’s products for the Met was only fitting.
Other standout steps shared by Erika include the ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 ($79 at MECCA) and ILIA True Skin Serum Concealer ($50 at MECCA) for her glowing base.
We also know from previous interviews that Miranda loves to use an LED mask. She once shared her favourite from Amazon and if there was ever a time for an at-home treatment, it’s before a red carpet.
Never tried an LED mask? bh recommends the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask ($515 at Current Body).
Did you love Miranda Kerr’s Met Gala lipstick? Have you tried anything from ILIA?
Personally, not a colour I’d wear, it wouldn’t suit me.
A more neutral, pinker shade would have looked prettier.
I agree, that shade does her no favours with her colouring
Miranda looks lovely with that shade of lipstick, although I think a slightly lighter/brighter shade would have been better.
I don’t think I could wear that colour. Too dark.
I think Miranda could wear a generic makeup range & still look beautiful.
Such a pretty look.
She has lovely shaped lips and this colour shows them up beautifully.
It doesn’t suit her but she was probably trying to meet the theme.
Oh wow I was surprised that she favours a cheaper brand LED mask
She may have had the LED mask gifted for her to try
That shade suits her really well. It’s the first time I hear about this brand.
LED is cool. I like using it when need to heal something on my skin
Lovely shade
Love the ethos behind Ilia! Great pigment in the lipsticks too.
That is a really deep shade
All I can say is WOW !!
I saw the brand in Mecca and loved the texture and shades, however, the price was offensive, especially in these hard times.
Miranda Kerr is truly a Classic Beauty love her Lip Colour ❤️
She is an absolute stunner!
I have actually tried the lipstick Miranda is wearing and found it too dark for me but it is a beautiful colour and I did think twice about buying it.
A bit too dark for my liking but better on me than pink
I really like that shade on Miranda.
I think she wore it well. An amazing colour but I certainly couldn’t wear it.
I haven’t tried anything from ILIA but I did love the lipstick on Miranda.
She’s stunning with that look, I couldn’t wear that colour but she really pulls it off
I feel it is too dark on her.
Fabulous look on her, but I couldn’t carry that shade off.
Not my colour but looks great on her
Too dark for me but looks good on her
This is beyond my budget for a lippy, but I love both of the colours used.
I love that lipstick color! Bold but very nice
