A Fresh Date-Night Look: Smoky Eyes and Red Lipstick

Annie Tomlin — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 06:00:22 PST

Is Robert Palmer having an effect on fashion runways? Both Temperley and Stephen Burrows featured bright red lipstick - and what's more, this matte hue flatters a range of skin tones. Temperley's models, at left, sported a smoky purple eye along with Revlon Just Bitten lip stain ($9) and Revlon matte lipstick in Really Red ($8). Stephen Burrows's look featured gray shadow on the eyes, using Iman lipstick in Red Luxury ($9) to bring attention to lips. Might as well face it: it's a new look to love.

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

BellaSugar — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 06:00:46 PDT

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?

A Few Tips for Red Lips

BellaSugar — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 13:00:38 PST

Red lips are having a moment right now, but a classic red lip never really goes out of style. I used to be intimidated by wearing them, but now they're in regular rotation-and they're especially festive for this time of year.

So when Molly R. Stern offered some tips on creating the perfect red lip, I jumped at the chance to share them with you. Molly is CoverGirl's celebrity makeup artist, and she's touched the faces of celebrities such as Ellen Barkin, Heather Graham, Renee Zellweger and Kirsten Dunst.

For some straight-from-the-source tips on wearing red lips this holiday,

Focus on one thing. "This look is all about the red lip," Molly says. "So keep the rest of your look simple with sheer coverage; let your natural skin tones shine through."
There really is a red for everyone. Molly recommends CoverGirl Outlast All-Day Lipcolor in Ever Red-dy. "I also love CoverGirl TruShine Lipcolor in Cranberry Shine," she says, "because it goes on sheer and has blue undertones, which will complement any skin tone." (Blue undertones also help to make teeth look whiter.)
Make your lips pop. To add a rosy glow, apply a cream blush on the apples of your cheeks.
Go easy on the eyes. A lengthening mascara in black-brown or brown will give your eye subtle definition and keep the focus on your luscious red lips, Molly says.

I'd also add that the key to wearing red lips is confidence. If you think you can pull it off, you can.

Which Lipstick Do You Like Best on Diane Kruger?

BellaSugar — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 06:00:24 PST

The typically demure Diane Kruger wore this season's red "it" lip to Condé Nast Movies Rock. With her perfect skin, sparkling smile and bright eyes, I think she pulled it off beautifully. I also happen to really like her pale pink lips at the GQ Turns 50 celebration party as well as her natural and shiny coral-colored lipstick from the 64th Venice Film Festival. I can't decide what shade of lipstick I like best on her. Can you?

Which Lipstick Do You Like Better on Helena Christensen?

BellaSugar — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 12:00:08 PST

Last night at the Margot at the Wedding premiere, Helena Christensen arrived sporting one of this season's hottest beauty trends, bold red lips. Last month she graced the black carpet at the 30 Days of Night premiere with a similar hairstyle, but with barely-there lip gloss. Which lipstick do you prefer on Helena - or should I say, which color do you think makes her amazing eyes stand out more?

Who Looked Better in a Side Updo at The Emmy Awards?

BellaSugar — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 16:59:12 PDT

I'm not so sure that I completely understand this hairstyle, but since both Kate Walsh and Heidi Klum usually look stunning, I am going to let it pass and even praise them for taking a beauty risk. Paired with their bold red lips and glamorous dresses, they stand out on the red carpet somehow seem to get away with this strange side updo. How do you feel about this hairstyle, and who do you think wore it better?

What Color Lipstick Looks Best on Christina?

BellaSugar — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 00:21:22 PDT

Next to being famous for her incredible voice range, Christina Aguilera has made her trademark her bold red lips. I happen to think this look is way harsh for someone her age, and am happy to see that she's changing things up with some bright and light pinks. What color lipstick do you think looks best on her?

For more juicy red spring lip glosses,

read more Liquid Luxe Lipstick in Red Manhattan by Playboy Beauty, $16, is a two in one lip color that combines the shine of a gloss with the coverage and wear of a lipstick. It is high in pigment to make this the most opaque of the three glosses, but the extra shine in the formula also makes it the smoothest and shiniest. Available in six colors.
Yves Saint Laurent Golden Gloss #5, $27, is a golden copper color that goes on a sheer, sparkling orangey-red. This packaging of this gloss alone makes you feel sexy and special. The gloss forms a mirror-effect on your lips. It is formulated with mother-of-pearl (to add high shine) and nigelle and cameline oils (for nourishing). Did I also mention how awesome this smells?

This queen of burlesque is the only woman who can get away with a theatrical frock like this. Her face is flawless; I think she may have to battle it out in the Battle of the Red Lips! What do you all think?
