Discover Lana del Rey’s lip combo

Her make-up artist, Etienne Ortega, explains all the necessary steps to recreate the make-up.

Lana Del Rey‘s lips have always been a hallmark of her unmistakable style, and now we have the secret to recreating them. In a recent TikTok video, her make-up artist shared the keys to how she achieved the finish the singer wore during her appearance at Coachella 2024.

The first step is to prepare the lips, which is essential to achieve that perfect finish. Ortega starts by applying her Blue Nectar Lip Oil to moisturise and soften the skin. With this base, the texture looks flawless, ready for the next steps.

Next, you need to apply a light powder to lightly mattify and create a soft base on the lips. From there, the more delicate work begins: the liner. Using the Soft Contour Lip Liner in Xola, the make-up artist precisely outlines the contour, but here comes the trick: the ‘Sacred Heart’ technique. What does it involve? Etienne draws a line right down the centre of the lips, highlighting the cupid’s bow, then gently blurs towards the edges to give that naturally plumped lip effect. Using a blusher brush, she further blends the product to make it look flawless and smooth.

For a touch of colour, use Agave Glow Lipstick in Clouds, applying it to the centre of the lips and blending with the same brush for a super natural, luminous finish.

And, of course, the final touch of shine was a must. For this, the professional makes use of the Ethereal Glow Balm in Golden Hour, a product that radiantly elevates the result; while the touch of luxury comes with the Hypergloss Liquid Icon in Por Vida.
