No other beauty product can match the power of bold red lipstick. One swipe of any red shade and a look is instantly elevated and glamourized — which is probably why celebs love it so much. Here, see the best celebrity red lipstick moments, complete with the stars’ go-to favorites.

A true Dior girl through and through — even before her days as a well-sculpted face for the brand’s beauty leg — Bella Hadid can’t get enough for Dior Addict lipstick in shade 999. Arguably Dior Beauty’s signature shade, the blue-based red is the ultimate universal red for all skin tones.@bellahadid
In an IGTV live, Mindy Kaling revealed MAC’s Ruby Woo is an all-time pick. “This is when I want to look like Cindy Crawford in one of those music videos from the '90s," she said. "This is a must-have.”John Shearer/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Despite a flawless face untouched by the years and more than $150 million in the bank, Jennifer Lopez is — famously — still real. All the proof you need is one of her favorite red lipsticks, which makeup artist Mary Phillips revealed is the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Gloss in Rouge Envy.Jason Merritt/TERM/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Whether she’s in a true blood red or an orange-flecked scarlet, Beyoncé wearing any red lipstick is cause for celebration — especially considering how affordable her go-to is. Sir John says Beyoncé’s usual red is L’Oréal’s Signature Lightweight Matte Colored Ink, a $9 drugstore classic.@beyonce
Fun fact: Taylor Swift mentions red lipstick in a whopping 21 songs in her discography. At this point, crimson lips are as synonymous with the superstar as her ever-present guitar — especially the cult-classic NARS’ Dragon Girl, a favorite Swift is frequently photographed in (and with).Leon Bennett/FilmMagic/Getty Images
Infused with enough orange to really play up her deep brown eyes, Kourtney Kardashian's red lipstick — both created and applied by Patrick Ta — instantly stopped virtual traffic. Done up in the matte shade She’s Not From Here, her look only proves how interesting the eldest Kardashian is to look at. @patrickta
Kerry Washington’s makeup moments are always as timeless as her beauty, which makes it an extra-special treat when she shares an inside look at her faves. Washington recently shared her love for Mented Cosmetics’ Red Carpet, adding that the brand is developed for “magical Black girl skin like mine.”@kerrywashington
No red lipstick roundup is complete without a mention of the cosmetics queen herself, Rihanna. In fact, the Fenty mogul just released a new shade of red, the Fenty Icon Lipstick in MVP, that she calls her ultimate red — and indeed, it might just be the one red to rule them all.Bryan Bedder/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
So enviable is Zendaya’s perpetually perfect makeup that the release of her lipstick collection with Lancôme felt nothing short of...euphoric. The line is full of beautiful colors but Rouge Ruby in Z’s signature RubieZ shade, a wonderfully sharp crimson full of dimension, is simply unreal.

Leave it to Gemma Chan to work out the perfect high-low combination for budge-proof red lips. In an interview with Vogue, the Marvel star first lines her lips with Charlotte Tilbury’s Invisible lip liner before filling in the center with L’Oréal Paris’ Colour Riche in shade 402. Et voila!
