Westman claims that Swift’s now-iconic appearance originated on the set of the singer’s 2009 cover photo for Allure magazine. The beauty mogul added, “I remember I really wanted to do a red lip on her because I hadn’t seen her in a red lip before.”

Swift’s red lipstick has grown to be one of her most iconic looks in the fifteen years since that incident, second only to her blonde hair.

Swift’s red lips are so fundamental to her character that she frequently alludes to them in her songs. She sings, “I can see the flames on my skin/ Crimson red paint on my lips,” on the Reputation song “I Did Something Bad,” while she talks about having “red lips and rosy cheeks” on 1989’s “Wildest Dreams.”
