00:00For years, fans have wondered which lipstick Taylor Swift wore on stage during her Eras tour.
00:05And finally, thanks to Swift's Disney Plus documentary series, The End of an Era,
00:09we have our answer. In a scene from the final episode, we see the superstar's longtime makeup
00:14artist Lori Turk applying Mac's Locked Kiss 24-hour lipstick shortly before Swift's last
00:20performance in Vancouver. Shortly after, Mac confirmed her shade as Ruby True, a classic
00:26blue-red. As a passionate fan, I was eager to see if Locked Kiss could deliver on its promise of a
00:31perfect pop star pout that stays put. So I purchased my own tube of Ruby True to test. The first time I
00:37swiped it on, I made the rookie mistake of not exfoliating beforehand. Locked Kiss is the mattest
00:43of mattes, which means it'll highlight any dryness or flakiness on your lips. The second time, I prepped
00:48with a quick scrub using a soft toothbrush, and the formula went on way more smoothly. So folks,
00:54don't skip this crucial step. Ruby True is a gorgeous shade, and when it comes to its transfer
00:59proof claims, Locked Kiss definitely delivers. I planted a kiss on the back of my hand, followed
01:05by a white paper towel. Neither left a mark. I tried a wet paper towel to test the product's
01:10waterproof claims, too. Zero transfer. Over the course of the day, I did plenty of talking,
01:15snacking, and sipping, and my lip color didn't really budge. But if you're eating something oily,
01:20don't expect a miracle. Locked Kiss may not have lasted a full 24 hours on me, but it's easily
01:26among the longest wearing lip colors I've tried, and one I'll be keeping in my makeup bag for many
01:31eras to come.
