The Classic Makeup Look That 7 Stars Swore By For The Golden Globes 2020

No matter how many new lip products and kaleidoscopic shades hit the market this year, nothing will ever beat the classics. Red lipstick looks were trending at the 2020 Golden Globes on Sunday, Jan. 5, breathing new life into the classic look that works for all skin tones, at any occasion.

As any makeup aficionado knows, the perfect red lip doesn't just stop at one shade — or one swipe. Actor Priyanka Chopra wore four different products, lining her lips with Pat McGrath Labs Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil in Major Red before blending MatteTrance Lipsticks in Vendetta, Obsessed, and Elson 2. And Awkwafina, who won Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy for The Farewell, employed a helpful tip that I'll be trying at my next red carpeted event (or, let's be real, my commute to work in the morning): She highlighted the corners of her lips with Lorac's Light Source Mega Beam Highlighter in Celestial for added dimension.

But that's not to say that you need to overcomplicate — or overspend. A simple liner and lipstick combination works just as well: Helen Mirren, a L'Oreal Paris ambassadress, teamed the brand's Age Perfect Anti-Feathering Lipliner in Rich Cranberry with L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Luminous Hydrating Lipstick + Nourishing Serum for a deep cranberry finish.

Ahead, see more red lipstick looks that almost put the actual carpet to shame.
