Try This Super Easy Holiday Lip Trick

>> This holiday-perfect style — spotted during Paris Fashion Week at the Fall 2011 Junko Shimada show — combines the sophistication of classic red with the playfulness of this year's brights for a lip look that really pops. To replicate, use an angled brush to apply an orange-ish red just to the outer edge of lips, then gently fill in the center of lips with a vibrant fuchsia. Use a finger to gently blend the line outward. Keep the look chic by choosing lip colors of similar vibrancy and opaqueness, and be sure to leave the rest of the face minimal — a light sweep of shimmer across the eyes and a bit of mascara are all you need. See below for our picks to make this style yours, now.

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

Is Robert Palmer having an effect on fashion runways?

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

Of all the looks to aim for on the red carpet, this one pretty much defines "traffic stopping."

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?

Which Lipstick Do You Like Best on Diane Kruger?

The typically demure Diane Kruger wore this season's red "it" lip to Condé Nast Movies Rock.

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?

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.

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?

Next to being famous for her incredible voice range, Christina Aguilera has made her trademark her bold red lips.
