Scarlett Johansson's Red Lips

Love It or Hate It? Scarlett Johansson's Tomato-Red Lips

August 6, 2008

Of all the looks to aim for on the red carpet, this one pretty much defines "traffic stopping." I'm convinced that Scarlett Johansson had her lipstick custom blended to match her dress for the Los Angeles premiere of Vicky Cristina Barcelona — I've never ever seen a match quite this exact before! One thing's for sure: This voluptuous young actress has confidence. Her head-to-toe temptress ensemble proves that she isn't afraid to show off her foxy curves and full pout for the crowd. What do you think about Scarlett's bold lipstick?

Her whole face is just wrong here. What happened?? She looks almost cartoonish in this shot!

too harsh for her face...a cooler shade may be better

I don't like this shade of red on her, but i've seen her with other red shades of lipstick on that were much more flattering.

Agree with the other poster, she needs cooler tones and most definitely less eye makeup as it makes her pretty blue eyes look smaller. The dress and gaudy necklace don't do anything to help her look.

A little too matchy-matchy for me, but she can definitely pull off red lips.

...she would look better in a deeper, cooler shade of red.

1. she has cool undertones and blue eyes. 2. the lipstick has warm undertones and an orange tint 3. She's pale. No go. Most people can't pull of red lips, especially tomato.

I think she looks good with the tomato red lipstick. I think it would look better if her dress weren't the same shade. It would look a lot better with a more subdued dress I think.

I almost always love her in red lips but I think this is too much red...

I think Scarlett is absolutely beautiful, but I don't like this look on her. There's too much red. Maybe natual make-up would have looked better?

I agree brittanyk!

I think I'd like her lipstick if it didn't match her top. I've seen pics of her with red lipstick and I thought she looked nice. I think the bad eye shadow and the matchy matchy top are just making this look not work for her.

she looks old and tired and definitely is having a bad hair day!

Its too overwhelming on her. Lipstick shouldn't match your outfit so precisely...I don't think the eyeshadow is bad, I think its just the shade; it washes her out a bit. With that said, the lip colour looks really good on her, but the rest of her makeup doesn't work so well with it.

I always love red lipstick but...in this shot the hair is not working for me, and I prefer red lipstick on brunettes....as a blonde I think a neutral lip would serve her better with this dress...OR..lose that chunky big necklace, which clutters the neckline and adds more loud to loud. I do not believe in "no red if you have red clothes"..I think it CAN work...but not here, for a few reasons.

Way too much make-up on her in this pic! It's making her look older like she's trying to cover up something. . it's a mess- the red lipstick alone w/o the heavy eye make-up and the cakey face make-up would be fine. Usually she looks more youthful.

Ew. Too much red!

Maybe the reason I hate that red lipstick on her is because of the face she is making.

she usually has on a more blood red lipstick color, i like that better, this is just to loud! it's crazy how it's exactly the same color!

I love Scarlett but there is so much wrong with this look. I like the lipstick just fine but the red lips, red dress, chunky jewelry, two -toned hair, cut outs on the dress, brown eye make-up; its just too much.
