Dramatic Lipstick Colors Are The Big Trend On This Week's Best Beauty List

And we're not talking the same old red lip.

The major makeup lesson we learned from the stars on this week's best beauty list is that the right lipstick color can really make an outfit.

Adele looked amazing at the 2016 Brit Awards with a brick red lip that matched her plunging neckline dress to a tee. Kerry Washington was at the American Black Film Festival Awards rocking deep plum lipstick that accentuated a pillowy pout and cobalt blue gown. And Krysten Ritter turned heads on the 18th Costume Designers Guild Awards red carpet with her wine-stained lips and heavily embellished dress.

Scroll down to see these striking lipstick colors and more. Plus, find out which products we recommend you try to recreate these celebrity beauty looks.

Ritter is the perfect example of why pale-skinned women should wear bold lipstick. Sophisticated hair and makeup keep the overall look simple, which is key with her busy gown. Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Vampira is a matte burgundy shade that won't budge.
