From Marilyn Monroe in 'Some Like It Hot' to Uma Thurman in 'Pulp Fiction,' red lipstick has dominated the silver screen with the star-power of some of Hollywood’s best leading ladies. We’ve teamed up with Bourjois to look at some of the hottest red lip looks in film to get some autumn/winter inspiration. It's time to be #RedInTheCity.
Angelina Jolie in Maleficent
Angelina Jolie proved that brighter shades of red go best with black. Brighten up your chic black boots and winter coat with an ultra-highlighting lip look. For something in the way of matte, invest in Rouge Edition Velvet in Hot Pepper or pick up Rouge Edition 12H Lipstick in Rouge Your Body.
Rachel McAdams in The Notebook
Red lippy says romance unlike anything else. Rachel McAdams pulls off the perfect classic rouge lip as Allie Calhoun in The Notebook. (You remember that movie, the one that made even the boys cry?) Allie and Noah were what defined couple goals, #AllieAndNoah4eva. So, for your date night (preferably with a broad, bearded carpenter who’s committed to writing you love letters every day of the year,) pair your classic rouge recreation with some 1940’s style curls. The Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet lipstick in Its Redding Men will be your saviour here.
Mena Suvari In American Beauty
Sultry and dead sexy, Mena Suvari conquered the dark red lip look as Angela Hayes in American Beauty. Blondes, take note, this is your best lip shade category. Go for the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet lipstick in Jolie De Vin.
Bourjois’ Red in the City collection is available instore and online at Boots.
