Zendaya Just Proved Terra-Cotta Will Be *the* Lip Color for Fall
When she's not playing Rue on Euphoria and wearing the same maroon sweatshirt over and over, Zendaya is known for serving up major glam moments. Case in point: her recent appearance at Paris Fashion Week, for which she wore a sheer black Valentino ensemble paired with shorts and an oversized blazer, dripping with sequins from head to toe.
To complete her look, the star's makeup artist, Sheika Daley, opted for colossal lashes and a lip color that strikes the perfect balance between bold and neutral. The color in question? Terra-cotta.
Terra-cotta is a reddish-orange-leaning brown that looks flattering on just about everyone. It's soft enough to be a neutral but colorful enough to be the center of attention. It's also the ideal color for fall since it's rich and earthy. Consider us influenced.
Luckily, we found out Zendaya's whole lip situation. To achieve Zendaya's lip color, Daley started by defining her lips with Lancôme Le Crayon Lip Contour in Caramel and completed the look with Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Intimatte in 299 French Cashmere. The result is perfect terra-cotta-toned lips ideal for your next autumnal outing.
