Ever wondered how to achieve Hollywood-inspired glam for less? Actress-turned-director Eva Longoria is no stranger to a red carpet, but as she recently shared, she also loves taking care of her skin and applying a full face of makeup every day — special occasion or not. In fact, she shows up and shows out by applying everything from blushes to lashes to her drugstore lipstick pick to do her son’s school run pickup.
In a recent video with Vogue, the L’Oréal beauty ambassador walks us through her routine and proudly confesses, “It may be a lot for some of you guys because I’m Latina,” she jokes. “I wear a full face of makeup every day.” She glows in the GRWM video shot from her bathroom, even before she dives into her routine, which includes the L’Oréal best-selling Hyaluronic Acid, Revitalife Eye Serum and Bright Reveal SPF, along with more high-end picks from Augustinus Bader. To prep her lips, she lathers on the viral Laneige lip mask, which she “loves” to use to combat the dryness she experiences in L.A., before going in with a product that she lovingly mentions she grew up with: L’Oréal’s Colour Riche Hydrating Satin Lipstick.
“My mom used to wear a red lip. I used to grab her Colour Riche,” she relays as she holds the product and inhales its fragrance, “It has the most beautiful scent.” She applies the shade 815 Ginger Spice to her lips, then accentuates her pout with the shade Toasted Almond in the center.

For those seeking a moisturizing lip shade that stays put, L’Oréal’s Colour Riche Hydrating Satin Lipstick might be exactly what you’ve been searching for. A staple in Longoria’s family for good reason, this long-wear lipstick has gained a cult following, as its collection of nudes, berries and reds provides rich pigment in a hydrating formula. Packed with argan oil and vitamin E, it coats lips with color and care in one sweep.
With its creamy texture, the collection features an abundance of complementary hues (over 50, to be exact) that Longoria demonstrates can be mixed together to create the perfect shade for your complexion. She applies the lighter brown hue in the center of her lips to create a contoured effect and completes her look with a dab of Fenty Beauty lip gloss for extra shine. With Color Riche’s non-sticky formula, you can play around to find your perfect match and expect a smudge- and transfer-proof finish that lasts — and, most importantly — won’t dry out your lips.
Thousands of reviewers can attest to its staying power; just take a peek at the 28,000+ 5-star reviews on Amazon. With both lipsticks coming in at under $10, fans are amazed by the product’s durability and vibrancy, comparing its prowess favorably to pricier alternatives. As one reviewer notes, “No other lipstick even comes close to measuring up, and I’ve tried the expensive brands.” Lipstick novices need not worry, as reviewers say they love how easily it glides on. One user expressed, “It’s very easy to apply, and it’s extremely comfortable. It lasted most of the day!” That silky feeling is one that customers say their lips crave.
