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.

We can stare at Adele all day long! The "When We Were Young" singer had a major night at the 2016 Brit Awards with this matchy-matchy makeup look. A classic cat-eye and voluminous bob added the final touches. For deep red lips like Adele's, try Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick-Kate Moss Collection 001.

The "Scandal" actress never lets us down in the style department. Her slicked-back hair and dark lip color are very severe. Yet, she balances it with this gorgeous blue dress that highlights her glowing skin tone. NARS Liv Audacious Lipstick has a similar satin finish and powerful pigmented punch.

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.

Can you believe Bassett is 57 years old? She inspires us to be excited about aging gracefully. Here, she sports dramatic eye makeup and lipstick. The key to making it work is keeping the shades in the same color family. For a shimmering bronze lip, try Too Faced Cosmetics Melted Chocolate.
