Want to know the secret to Leighton Meester’s gorgeous red lips?  Here is the answer:

“L’Oréal Paris’ Infallible Plumping Lipgloss in Plumped Red gives me that extra little color and boost when I really want my lips to pop.” -Leighton Meester.

L’Oréal Paris’ Infallible Plumping Lipgloss in Plumped Red happens to be Marta’s favorite!! I’ve been getting so many compliments about this one. People just can’t believe you can buy this glamorous lipgloss at your local drugstore!

Blake Lively is looking gorgeous as usual at the 2009 Angel Ball in New York City.

I particularly love Blake Lively’s red lips. Two of my favorite lip glosses that come in my mind when I think of how to get Blake’s look are:

Lancôme Color Fever Gloss in Rouge Magnificence, $25.00

And, L’Oreal Paris Infallible Plumping Lipgloss in Plumped Red, around $12

The Show: Maria Grachvogel
Lead Artist: James Boehmer, NARS Cosmetics International Lead Makeup Artist
Trend: Bold Red Matte Lips and Strong Brows

Inspiration: Maria Grachvogel used iconic references of Princess Margaret as photographed by Lord Snowden and Tippi Hedren in “Marnie” to convey the mood of her collection in a modern way- polished yet glamorous.

Look: The look is polished and strong- inspired by a glamorous and modern twist of Hitchcock’s femme fatale. “This look is not about the glowing skin underneath- it’s about the makeup- the brows need to be long and sketchy and the lips need to be rounded and bee-stung,” said lead artist James Boehmer. A flat, matte lip paired with a strong brow was balanced by a bare eye. “The lip,” James warns, “has to be really rich and vibrant- the focus is getting that rich lip otherwise the look can appear as if something is lacking.”

Below are some key products and steps for recreating the look:

Angelina Jolie arrived the Inglourious Basterds premiere at the Cannes Film Festival 2009 wearing red lips.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are very exciting and an intriguing couple to watch. Seeing them make an appearance in Cannes on the red carpet is a moment I didn’t want to miss. I know, I’m a sucker:)

Every woman should have a red lipstick in their makeup bag. Red lips are classic, timeless, and super glamorous. Red lips are in!

Angelina Jolie’s makeup look, particularly the red lips, is taken straight from the runways of New York Fashion Week Fall 2009. It reminds me of a MAC makeup look created by artist James Kaliardos for the Ruffian fashion show. “The look is inspired by Carolyn Bessette, it’s young and confident.” James kaliardos.
