While we love our skincare routines, there’s no denying how fun it is to apply your daily makeup routine. And one of the most fun parts is topping off your look with the perfect lipstick. But lipstick runs out quickly, and it’s always nice to treat yourself to a new one. Next time your go-to lipstick runs out, why not treat yourself to one Beyoncé “always” uses?

Before we get into the exact shade Bey uses, let’s talk about the product itself. The L’Oreal Paris Signature Matte Lip Stain is budge-proof, kiss-proof and perfect for any occasion, from date night to brunch with the girls. According to the brand, it was designed to be a “weightless” lip product with the “high color impact of a liquid lipstick with the no makeup feel of a lip stain.”

The L’Oreal Paris Rouge Signature Lip Stain is so popular and beloved by beauty enthusiasts, it even has over 15,000 perfect five-star ratings on Ulta. One Ulta shopper raved over how this particular liquid lipstick didn’t cause any of the problems others did. 

They wrote, “I bought this on a whim because I wanted a lip stain that would last through work and all day events. Every other liquid lipstick/stain I’ve tried has been messy and cakey, but not this one! It’s lightweight, lasts through snacks, and perfectly lines my cupid bow lips (a problem I’ve had with other liquid lippies).” 

Now to the question we’re all wondering: what shade is majorly Bey-approved? According to Sir John, he frequently uses the shade “I Create,” a pink-brown color on her all the time. In fact, John said he almost “always” uses this lipstick for Beyonce before a big event.

“When I know I’m not going to see my client again, and I know there’s going to be no touch-up and they’re going to put something on and go, this is my jam,” he said. “I know when it hits the carpet, I know if she eats—I know it’s not going to dry, it’s not going to get crusty, and she’s going to feel good.” He even used it on Beyonce when she accepted the GLAAAD award back in 2019.
