Great Beauty: Eyes vs. Lips

Great Beauty: Eyes vs. Lips
By · June 19, 2011October 28, 2020
01
Purple Haze

Whether she’s sporting a wash of gunmetal-purple shadow or a bright pop of red lipstick, Gabrielle Union is always stunning.

02
The Lady is a Vamp

Jill Scott look vampy in smokey, kohl-shaded eyes, while going for an Old Hollywood moment in fire engine red lips. Which is your fave?

03
Fierce Features

We can’t decide which is hotter — Keri Hilson’s silver metallic eyes or her bright coral lip?

04
Classic Beauty

Garcelle Beauvais looks mysterious in dark, kohl-rimmed eyes, and works a more classic look in a matte, berry-red lip.

05
Seasons Change

Selita Ebanks looks wintry-pretty in periwinkle-rimmed eyes…and goes for a cheerful, springy look in bold, strawberry-stained lips.

06
Plum Dandy

Queen Latifah looks regal in smokey grey eyeshadow at the Oscar’s…but her dramatic, glossy plum lips are also show-stopping.

07
Here Kitty Kitty

The Pussycat Dolls’ Melody Thornton accentuates her almond-shaped eyes with bold charcoal shadow. But she looks just as fabulous in true red lips and barely-there makeup.

08
Raspberry Beret

Kerry Washington enhanced her expressive eyes with a slightly smudged metallic blue eyeliner. A couple of days later, she focused on her lips, painting them an all-eyes-on-me raspberry shade.

09
Lip Service

Iman’s signature look is smokey eyes and nude lips. But at a gala last year, she went for a bold lip look, to uber-glamorous results.

10
Glamour Girl

Whether she’s rocking out in black-lined eyes or candy pink lips, Eva Marcille is a total glamour puss.

11
Bold Burgundy

Ashanti goes from highlighting her eyes with purple shadow to showcasing her lips with a burgundy stain — and both looks are so flattering!

12
Think Pink

On the runway, Chanel Iman is a seductress in dark winged eyeshadow. At a New York party, she focuses on her pout with a plummy-pink lipstick.

13
Model Behavior

Whether she plays up her eyes in black pencil or enhances her lips in strawberry pink gloss, Zoe Saldana is always supermodel-pretty.
