Red lipstick can be one of the most glamorous finishes to an outfit and women in Hollywood have definitely embraced this trend. While some stars are just getting comfortable with this look, others have been rocking it for years. Here is a list of 11 celebrities who pull off red lipstick best!
11. Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani’s signature look is platinum blond locks with bright red lipstick. The singer uses L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge in Ravishing Red on her lips. To recreate Gwen’s lipstick look, layer some L’Oréal Paris Infallible Le Gloss 8HR in Red Fatale over your lipstick for a bit of shine.

Just that color; they have every other shade.” Looks like Kourt has a group of followers when it comes to her beauty regime.

Scarlett Johansson almost always seems to channel old Hollywood glamour when she’s on the red carpet. To get her look, keep the rest of your face warm and neutral and then use a red lipstick. According to the actress, this technique allows your lips to take center stage.

Rihanna’s pout looked flawless at the 2013 Grammy Awards. For her look, her makeup artist used two lipsticks and a liner. She began with Cherry Lip Pencil to line the singer’s lips and then filled them in with Ruby Woo and then put Lady Danger in the center. Whatever she did worked – RiRi looked absolutely amazing!

After the release her album Red in 2012, Taylor Swift began appearing on the red carpet with crimson lacquered lips. When the singer sports a red lip, she always goes for a simple cat eyeliner look. To get her red lips, use Aqua Rouge in Iconic Red – it is a lip stain on one side and gloss on the other.

According to Emma Stone, she feels most comfortable when she’s sporting red hair and, when it comes to lip color, she definitely prefers red. The “Easy A” actress has confessed that whenever she wears lipstick, she tends to lick it off her lips, so she doesn’t typically wear it unless she is going to an event.
