Great Beauty: Red vs. Pink

Great Beauty: Red vs. Pink
By · November 18, 2011October 28, 2020
01
Tracee Ellis Ross

Oh my the red is vibrant, isn’t it? The pink might be a bit pale for her Tracee’s golden skin tone. VERDICT: Red

02
Alicia Keys

Living for this fucshia! To get the look at home, try Nars Larger Than Life LipGloss in Plac Vendome ($26, sephora.com). VERDICT: Pink

03
Solange Knowles

Fierce in scarlet, fierce in ballet slipper pink. VERDICT: #CanDoNoWrong

04
Sanaa Lathan

The red is striking, but that sweet pink is just so flirty and saucy. VERDICT: Pink

05
Taraji P. Henson

We love this high-sheen crimson lip, but the pink look is really pretty in a soft, innocent way. VERDICT: Pink

06
Rashida Jones

Hmm…the red works with her hint of a tan, but the pink looks perfect with her fairer, winter complexion. VERDICT: Undecided

07

08
Letoya Luckett

We’re currently wild about orangey-red lipstick (so unexpectedly chic), so this one’s a no-brainer! VERDICT: Red

09
Leona Lewis

Wow. That vinyl-shine red is the stuff glamour girls are made of. Love the pink, super-cute, but…VERDICT: Red

10
Kerry Washington

The red is super-polished and flawlessly lined, but we always love Kerry in pale pink. She jump-started the trend a couple years ago and bless her for it! So feminine. VERDICT: Pink

11
Kelly Rowland

The velvetty red lip is uber-glam, but the slightly violet-toned pink is just kooky enough to work with green liner. VERDICT: Pink

12
Eva Marcille

That ultraviolet pink is killer, but the cherry red does something glorious to her complexion. Wow, how gorgeous is she? VERDICT: Red

13
Garcelle Beauvais

Ahh Garcelle. Always gorgeous, but we think that sweet petal pink shade is downright adorbs. VERDICT: Pink

14
Christina Milian

Okay, this isn’t a true pink, it’s more of a coral-pink, but still we think it has a bit more originality and oomph than the classic red. VERDICT: Pink
