Great Beauty: Fruit Punch Pouts

After a season of high-drama eyes, lips are back for spring! From red carpets to runways, the stars are rocking lip colors in fruit punch-y shades like raspberry, strawberry and cherry red. The best part? These bold, luscious hues look fabulous with brown skin. Here, a roundup of our favorite bold-lipped A-listers.
By · Updated October 29, 2020
01
Keri is So Very

From red carpets to runways, the stars are rocking high-shine lip glosses in fruit punchy shades like raspberry, strawberry and cherry red. Here are our favorites!

02
Girly Girl

Serena Williams goes for a sweet, girly-girl vibe with this strawberry gloss.

03
Hint of a Tint

Stila Raspberry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain ($24, amazon.com) is a bright, antioxidant-infused lipcolor that doubles as a natural-looking blush.

04
Bold Beauty

La La Vasquez’ bold raspberry lips are the perfect compliment to her hazel eyes. Stunning!

05
Glossy Glossy

Kerry Washington looks pretty as a picture in lavender eyeshadow, rosy cheeks and a sheer burst of watermelon lip gloss.

06
Magenta Magic

Bare Escentuals Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick in Monte Carlo ($18, sephora.com) is a bright magenta that looks lovely on all brown skin tones.

07
Pop Life

Eve’s high-wattage, poppy pink gloss gives her lips a “come hither” gleam.

08
Retro Chic

Jennifer Hudson rocks a retro chic look with her eyebrow-grazing bangs, cat eye liner and luscious, berry-stained lips.

09
Shine On

Philosophy Raspberry Sorbet Lip Shine ($10, ulta.com) moisturizes while leaving just a hint of super-shiny, pinky-berry color on lips.

10
Pink Lady

‘Vampire Diaries’ star Katerina Graham lets her lips do the talking in this luscious strawberry gloss.

11
Island Goddess

Chanel Iman goes for an island goddess moment in this tropical, fuschia-berry gloss.

12
Haute Hues

Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect Lip Gloss ($27, dillards.com) comes in non-sticky, amazingly shiny hues with just a hint of sexy shimmer. Try Sari Pink, Outrageous Fucshia or Pink Veil.

13
Think Pink

Rachel Roy’s warm, amber-pink lips are bright enough to make a statement, but subtle enough to be a neutral.

14
Bright Idea

A radiant watermelon-red (a’la Angela Simmons) instantly wakes up your whole look.

15
Juicy Fruit

Christina Milian goes for a high-wattage sheen with this juicy, hot pink lip gloss.

16
Vinyl Vixen

Sephora Ultra Vinyl Lip Pencil ($12, sephora.com) has the coverage of a lipstick, but the intense shine of lip gloss. We’re loving Vinyl Raspberry and Strawberry Delish.

17
Sexy Stain

Anika Noni Rose’s sheer watermelon-hued lip stain is the perfect shade and texture for spring: Lightweight, long-wearing and super-fresh.

18
Raspberry Beret

A flawlessly arched brow and a slash of skinny black liner perfectly showcases Meagan Good’s high-shine raspberry pucker.
