Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old Hispanic woman who won the congressional primary against representative Joseph Crowley in New York’s 14th Congressional district in Queens on
Tuesday, just became one of the most powerful 20-somethings in politics. A self-identified democratic socialist, Ocasico-Cortez centered her campaign around greater gun control, healthcare
reform for all, dismantling immigration organizations like ICE and tuition-free public colleges. And along the way, she also dropped a little makeup tip for those following her on the
campaign trail: the secret behind her signature red power lip.
Scott Heins/Getty Throughout her campaign, debates and her celebration party on Tuesday night, Ocasio-Cortez has been confidently sporting a bright red, matte lipstick shade. The shade never
appeared to smudge, fade or bleed. And social media makeup fanatics were quick to notice.
