If you're a fan of this beauty look and want to know how to recreate it, click on the gallery below! For more lipstick tutorials, be sure to check out this week's #MakeupMonday.

#NowPlaying: Selena Gomez - "Slow Down"

Selena Gomez greets viewers first thing in a party-ready outfit paired with bold Taylor Swift-inspired lips. And just like the rushing car in Paris and flashing club lights, the song immediately accelerates into party mode, only to slow down in the chorus then rush back into its energetic rhythm. Fashion-wise, we see Selena in a variety of hairstyles and outfits. She dons a neat bun in the start then a sleek pony the next. She also wears several party outfits like the bejeweled top, cut-out bodycon midriff, and later in a blazer. With all these looks, Selena shows she's just as versatile as her sound. Plus, similar to "Come & Get It," she busts out a couple of dance moves. We can totally hear this song getting played at parties and clubs.
