Tickets to Taylor Swift’s concerts aren’t the only thing the star can sell out. Swift’s makeup artist Lorrie Turk confirmed on Instagram that the lipstick color Swift wore to the VMAs was Nars Morocco, a change from Swift’s signature red lip. Since then, the brand has been unable to keep the product in stock.

If you’re looking to get your hands on Nars Morocco or buy it straight from your mouth, we’ve broken down how to get it when it’s back in stock and the best gimmicks/alternatives you can resort to if you can’t wait.
Where to Buy Nars Original Lipstick in Morocco
Nars Morocco is a warm cinnamon shade, one of the 12 original lip colors launched by François Nars’ eponymous brand 30 years ago. It’s a fascinating shade because it looks so different on everyone. For some, orange really stands out, while for others, terracotta takes center stage. But regardless of your actual lips or skin tone, expect Morocco to offer a nice matte finish and a warm, rich color that’s perfect for going from day to night.

Nars Air Matte Lip Color Morocco
If the lipstick is still sold out, know that Nars also offers a liquid lipstick formulation in Morocco with a convenient doe applicator. It’s lightweight, but still more of a lipstick than a gloss or stain, and delivers the same deep, gorgeous color that Taylor approves of. You can currently find this lipstick in stock on the Nars website and at Kohl’s.

Best Nars Moroccan Dupe
Morocco is a country that is difficult to imitate. It’s the perfect mix of brown, orange, and a hint of red, and there’s a reason it’s still going strong 30 years later. It is very difficult to find an exact replica of Morocco, especially since lipstick varies from person to person. But below you will find lipstick colors from the same warm family. If you love the sights of Morocco but can’t get your hands on them, try this one instead.
Elf Opace Satin Lipstick Me Myself and Eye
Me, Myself & I’s affordable Elf Satin Lipstick is a deep, rich orange-brown with red undertones. It’s a Moroccan cousin, if not a twin, thanks to its warmth and rich color. It uses marula oil, squalane, and jojoba ester to give it a satin finish rather than a matte look, and has a stronger red color than Morocco.
Also check out elf Standing Ovation from the same series. It’s a peachy yellow brown color and it’s so pretty!

NYX Smooth Whip Matte Lip Cream Teddy Fluff
NYX describes Teddy Fluff (awww) as “Pinky Brown”. Yes. You won’t get the same orange punch as in Morocco, but it’s in the same family. (Also, the warm red appears more evident on the lips than in the bottle.)
This matte lip cream is infused with shea butter and cocoa butter, making it more hydrating than other matte formulas we’ve used.
$7.90 on Amazon
NYX Ribbed Lingerie Peach Float
Another matte pick from our friends at NYX, Lip Lingerie XXL Long-Lasting Matte Liquid Lipstick in Peach Flirt offers more orange than Teddy Fluff. The formula is super long-lasting, so not only is it wallet-friendly, but one swipe will last you all day!

Sephora Collection Soft Matte & Easy Liquid Lipstick
Sephora’s Soft Matte & Easy Whatsoever looks very dark brown in the tube, but on the lips it comes out red and yellow. This is a great lip product, but it has a thinner consistency than other products on this list.

Colourpop Luxe Lipstick 21 Questions
The great color and nourishing feel make ColourPop lipsticks a great buy. 21 Questions has the warmth and blending of Moroccan oranges, browns, and reds, but has a less matte and closer to a creamy finish than Moroccan.

Colourpop Ultra Blotted Lip Slow Jam
As the name suggests, this lipstick from ColourPop gives your lips a speckled, matte finish. Slow Jam, described as a “warm terracotta,” is a great color for the cooler fall and winter months.

Rare Beauty Lip Soufflé Matte Cream Lipstick Brave
Brave’s Whipped Lip Soufflé Matte Cream Lipstick is feather-light yet delivers intense color and a matte finish. Shade-wise, Brave is very close to Morocco (although it may have a bit more red undertones). Another winner from Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty brand.
