A first case in point is Vanessa Kirby, whose velvety deep red lip was offset with a strong brow and very little eye make-up, save for a lick of mascara. Precisely applied, the oxblood hue set off both her alabaster skin and blue eyes ¨C the power of lipstick in motion.

Even if just a nude, it¡¯s only a matter of time before the rest of us whip our old lipsticks out. In fact, there are a number of new formulas worth adding to your arsenal: Gucci Beauty¡¯s Rouge De Beaut¨¦ Brilliant is a buildable formula which comes comes in an array of light-to-dark shades; look to Carolina Herrera¡¯s Lip Liquid Velvets for a formula that won¡¯t budge but delivers an impactful matte finish (591 Plum Beauty is a great one for recreating these Oscars looks).
