In addition to the stunning and colorful eyeshadow looks she's been displaying in recent months, Tracee Ellis Ross has also mastered the art of a bold lipstick look. And what better day than her birthday to pay homage to the vivid lippie shades that have given fans so much inspiration over the years?

Yes, Ross has basically defined the power lip, rotating through orange, hot pink, magenta, and others while on the red carpet. But even this year, in which she's been spending more time at home, she's still serving up some truly stunning looks. Probably the most appealing part of the actor's makeup masterpieces is that they're actually fairly easy to replicate. And now that you already have plenty of inspiration courtesy of her gorgeous nails and monochrome eyemakeup, it's time to infuse her repertoire of high-octane lip colors into your routine for those days you need a quick beauty fix.

Below, see all of the actor's best lipstick moments to inspire your next virtual Zoom or quiet night at home.
