Last week, the 29th annual Critics Choice Awards took place in Los Angeles, and Camila Morrone walked the red carpet wearing a Chanel couture dress. We loved the fashion, but as beauty editors, we couldn't help but focus on the makeup that went with it. It was the epitome of quiet luxury, combining elevated neutrals to create a look that was fresh-faced with a subtle retro influence.

Morrone's makeup artist Mary Phillips (who also works with the likes of Kendall Jenner, Sydney Sweeney, and Dua Lipa) described it as a "60s twist on timeless beauty." When she shared a product breakdown on Instagram, we were shocked to discover that she used a $195 Chanel lipstick to create Morrone's perfect rosy-beige lip color. Yep, you read that right—$195… for one lipstick. Even though it's incredibly expensive, all it takes is one glance at Morrone's finished look to think it's worth every penny.

Chanel 31 Le Rouge Lipstick in Rouge Beige

Here's the exact lipstick Phillips used on Morrone. The shade is called Rouge Beige. It's a rosy beige that, to us, is a necessary addition to our nude lip collection—not only for the timeless, '60s-esque color but also for the high-tech formula.

This lipstick is called 31 Le Rouge because it was inspired by 31 Rue Cambon, the birthplace of Chanel. As such, the brand calls it the "most singular" lipstick. Each bullet contains micronized pigments and sheer mother-of-pearl to deliver intense pigment with a radiant finish. It delivers this sort of candlelit effect, as if light is constantly reflecting off of it.

It's formulated with gardenia oil, an ingredient that's exclusive to Chanel. Because of this, it glides on easily without any tugging or pulling and promises to moisturize, smooth, firm, and define the lips with time. In this way, it's not just a lipstick—it's a lip treatment—and we're sure it will be in our beauty arsenal for years to come.
