Olivia Pope Pink Lipstick on #Scandal: Get Her Look 6 Ways
This post contains affiliate links from Rewardstyle and ShopStyle.
Without fail, I receive numerous requests for “Olivia Pope Pink Lipstick.” You can find all the information I’ve gleaned thus far in this post.
I’ve compiled information about Olivia Pope’s mauve, pink and nude lip looks from the hit Scandal TV show. First up, let’s review lip liners from Laura Mercier, MAC Cosmetics and Chantecaille:
- Laura Mercier Lip Liner in Hazelnut Tea
- MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Nice ‘N’ Spicy
- Chantecaille Lip Definer in Discreet
Nice ‘N’ Spicy debuted in MAC Cosmetics’s Fall 2011 Styledriven collection but is now permanent. It is a “pink cinnamon stick,” but beauty blogger Temptalia offered a more authentic description:
A medium-dark brown with warmer, almost peach undertones in a matte finish.
Read on to see seven other pink and nude lip products we’ve seen Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope on Scandal wear:
Kerry Washington’s Olivia Pope Pink Lipstick Pick: Laura Mercier Lip Parfait Creamy ColourBalm in Cinn-Ful
@BlaqVixenBeauty not for quite a while- right now Olivia is wearing @LauraMercier lip parfait in Cinn-ful 🙂

You can buy Laura Mercier Lip Parfait in Cinn-ful from Nordstrom.
Kerry Washington’s Olivia Pope Pink Lipstick Pick: Jouer Hydrating Lipstick in Monique
Yes, I have a new lip color for Olivia! On Friday, April 19, 2014, just a day after the electrifying season 3 finale, ScandalMakeup tweeted the names of Olivia’s #amazinglysimplebutbeautiful lip and nail combo for this season: “CND Shellac Cocoa layered with CND Shellac Romantique, lips are [Jouer Hydrating Lipstick in] Monique.” Celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose waxed poetic about this cult, classic lip color to NYMag.com:
It’s a classic nude lip that’s very chic and polished. It’s the kind of nude that looks elegant and not like a too-natural, going to the beach nude (which is like what’s the point??)
You can buy Jouer Hydrating Lipstick in Monique also from Nordstrom.
Kerry Washington’s Olivia Pope Pink Lipstick Pick: Tarte 24.7 Natural Lip Sheer SPF 15 in Champagne Brunch (R.I.P.)
Tarte 24.7 Natural Lip Sheer SPF 15 in Champagne Brunch was Olivia’s signature power lip look in the Season 1 promos. Unfortunately, for reasons unbeknownst to gladiators worldwide, Tarte decided to discontinue this sheer nude shade. Pope usually wears this color with “a bit of gloss.” Since the show is scheduled to end after Season 7 (boo!), perhaps Tarte can rerelease Champagne Brunch for nostalgia’s sake. What say you?
Kerry Washington’s Olivia Pope Pink Lipstick Pick: Chanel Levres Scintillantes Brilliant Extreme Glossimer in Wild Rose
Another Pope pick is Chanel Levres Scintillantes Brillant Extreme Glossimer in Wild Rose. I’ve passed up the Chanel counter at my nearest Nordstrom countless times but never stopped to see if they had Wild Rose in stock. However, it’s available online at Nordstrom with free shipping!
Kerry Washington’s Olivia Pope Pink Lipstick Pick: Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Carnation
Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Carnation is a tricky color to pull off, but Olivia wears it well. I ventured to the Bobbi Brown counter for the first time in search of this color. It requires precision as it is a bright, peachy-pink color. I fill in my lips with MAC Lip Liner in Chestnut and apply Carnation straight from the tube. Then I would blend both Chestnut and Carnation until I’m satisfied with the result. This lipstick is my power lip when I go to work.
Kerry Washington’s Olivia Pope Pink Lipstick Pick: Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Color Balm in Whole Lotta Honey
Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Color Balm in Whole Lotta Honey is the best product in Olivia’s makeup bag. Whole Lotta Honey is the package deal in a pencil. This neutral color is moisturizing, long-lasting and works for a variety of skin tones. See it on Olivia Pope and Associates:
The trick is to layer Whole Lotta Honey over Tarte LipSurgence Lip Luster in Buff. However, I usually just wear Whole Lotta Honey by itself.
Kerry Washington Olivia Pope Pink Lipstick Pick: Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick in Warm Caramel
Celebrity makeup artist Sheri Knight’s favorite technique is to fill in Washington’s lips with Laura Mercier Lip Liner in Hazelnut Tea and then dab on Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick in Warm Caramel. Kerry also wore this shade to the 2014 Golden Globes with makeup by celebrity makeup artist Carola Gonzalez. Outside of the show, I have not seen a pic of Kerry wearing Whole Lotta Honey…yet.
You get this perfectly even finish that heightens the natural color of her lips. And because liners tend to have a slightly drier finish, it really stays on—even through the kissing scenes.
