See the 10 best statement lips »
A statement lip is always a sure-fire way to dial up the glamour. With just one swipe, anyone can transform her appearance from meh to stunning. And while we’re a sucker for the timeless red lip, it would be a lie to say that our hearts don’t go racing when we spot some of our fave celebrities in punchy shades of pink, purple and orange. While Cate Blanchett and Shay Mitchell love to pair on-trend orange lipstick with relatively laid-back looks, Kate Bosworth and Marion Cotillard took their vintage Hollywood appearances to a new level of glamour and chicness with a statement-making orange look.
While vibrant shades are usually the go-to this time of year, deep burgundy and plum tones are getting some all-season staying power thanks to A-list stars. Adding a hint of mystery her Met Gala look, Beyoncé’s deep burgundy lipstick was almost the only makeup she had on. But when it comes to vampy lips, there is no doubt that Lorde has the trend on lock—especially considering her upcoming collaboration with M.A.C Cosmetics. To help inspire your next statement-making lipstick choice, we’ve rounded up 10 of the best bright and bold shades worn on recent red carpets.
