When it comes to her makeup, Kendall Jenner often loves to keep it soft and neutral. So her makeup artist, Mary Phillips, was thrilled when she was game to wear a bold red lip to the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
"I'm just so excited that Kendall wanted to do a red lip," says Phillips. "It's been a while since we've tried this look on a carpet, and it truly enhances her beauty."

Phillips chose a custom color combo to create Jenner's classic red lip. "I blended two shades of L'Oréal Paris Infallible Matte Resistance Lip Stains — French Kiss and Wine Not," says Phillips. "This combination creates a stunning, long-lasting red pout perfect for red carpet events. I particularly appreciate how this lipstick stays put throughout the night, requiring only minimal touch-ups."
For the rest of the look, Phillips kept it light. "Kendall’s [Margiela] dress has a beautiful silhouette that complements her figure so elegantly, so we wanted to keep the makeup super fresh and timeless," she says. "We pulled inspiration from Kate Moss’s signature red lip with minimal eye makeup. We added extra definition to the lashes using the L’Oréal Paris Panorama Mascara."
With these elements together, Phillips created a look she describes as "youthful, elegant, and timeless." To try out the look yourself, it's all about finding the right red for you. "A velvety red lip is a timeless style statement that suits everyone," she says, "Experimenting with different shades of red allows you to find the perfect tone that flatters your unique features."
