A neutral lip seemed to be the popular choice [1] on the Emmys red carpet. Mandy Moore, however, decided to go for a bolder shade, and boy, did it pay off. Worn with a classic chignon and black-and-white gown, it was a simple but striking beauty look. We (and a couple of folks on Twitter) couldn't help but wonder: what is that lipstick color?

Thankfully, the good folks at Laura Mercier let us know that bright pink is Laura Mercier's Velour Lovers Lip Colour in French Kiss [8] ($28). To get the perfect, long-lasting finish, makeup artist Jenn Streicher applied one layer, blotted it off, then added another coat. Mandy's skin glow was next-level, too, and that was thanks to Jenn's skin prep. She applied the Retrouvé Revitalizing Eye Concentrate [9] ($415) to her eyes and the Retrouvé Intensive Replenishing Facial Moisturizer ($445) [10], a moisturizing oil-based gel, to her face and neck.
As for Mandy's chic updo, hairstylist Ashley Streicher simply pulled all her hair back into a messy french twist secured with bobby pins and some curled pieces left out front. To get that perfect texture and volume, she relied on the Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Anti-Humidity Aerosol Hairspray [11] ($5).
The This Is Us star's nails were kept simple and inspired by the pink stones in her jewelry. Manicurist Michelle Saunders explained, "I created a subtle nail art look using Essie's Ballet Slippers [13] ($9) at the moon topped with Muchi Muchi [14] ($9), a creamy pink mauve, on the remainder of the nail. The finished look was soft yet playful."
"It's always the best getting ready at Striiike [15]," Mandy told POPSUGAR. "We decided to start celebrating early with caviar and Champagne, really making the most of our day together!" Sounds like a blast — especially since the final result was such a hit. Hey, Mandy, can we tag along next time?
