If you’ve been wondering why you’ve not been seeing an influx of beauty intel about Cameron Diaz over the last few years, it’s because the star quietly stepped away from the spotlight.
But the time has come. Cameron has made her great return back to Hollywood with an aptly titled film Back In Action. And with a new movie launch comes the press tour, and of course, subsequent beauty looks.
If there’s one thing we love it’s a celeb in a bold red lipstick. So, to see Cameron making her return with such a statement look we couldn’t help but find out more. She had turned to celebrity makeup artist (and star in her own right) Mélanie Inglessis to create the show stopping look. So, let’s find out exactly what she used!
Cameron Diaz Red Lipstick
Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Velvet in ‘Passionnante’
From $72 at Myer

If we had to chose just one tone of red lipstick for the rest of our lives, it would have to be a true blue-toned red. There’s nothing more classic or elegant. Which is why when we found out that Cameron was just that we knew we had to find out the exact product.
That, of course led us to scrolling through the comments left on makeup artist Mélanie’s Instagram post. And there we found it. Confirmation itself, that the creamy matte was indeed Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Velvet. And while we didn’t get shade confirmation, you can put your trust in our beauty intel on this one.
Designed with a longwearing formula, the velvety matte finish will stay put for hours. Although, unlike other matte formulas, this one has been designed not to dry out your lips, instead creating a comfortable to wear second skin feel.
Key features:
- 12 hour wear time
- Velvet-matte finish
- Second skin feel
- Designed with a smoothing, blurring finish
- Ultra-slim applicator
Available at:
- $72 from Myer

Do you ever wear a red lipstick? Would you try out Cameron Diaz bold red shade?
I love a red lip!
Great colour, I love red lipstick.
Good to see her back! Love her! Such a stunning woman. She hasn’t changed.
Absolutely, she is lovely.
Love the red lip! She’s beautiful
stunning !!
She looks amazing
I’d love to be able to wear a red lippie !
Yes I have worn a red lippy to more formal events.
I am using the Jojoba Company, moisturiser and thought that it would be a bit oily but no it is lovely and easy to use.
Such a beautiful lady.
She’s got the coloring to carry off a bold lip, and she does it well.
Love her latest film too
A gorgeous shade on her
Yes I agree on her but not my choice for myself
She looks fantastic.
Such a gorgeous woman
I never tried.
I like the look of red lips
I like a red on other people, but a bright red lip is not for me.
I’m a red lippy fan & prefer blue-based shades, too. That colour is gorgeous! But at $72 – ouch!
I look at the shade in the image and it seems like a dark copper red, but if that’s the same shade she’s wearing in the post, it looks much brighter.
Loving this red lip look on her. It really suits her
Wish I could wear my hair like this and still so lovely.
