17 Latina stars who look spectacular with red lipstick
Red is a daring color that goes well with many different skin tones and complexions
Femininity can be expressed in different ways. Although clothing and attitudes have quite a lot of influence, makeup has become an essential tool for bringing out women’s natural beauty. This is something that Latina celebrities know very well, and they use what is certainly the most beautiful and bold makeup item out there: red lipstick.
As iconic as it is provocative, red lipstick has a fascinating history that spans from the ancient Babylonian and Egyptian civilizations to today, always starring as the beloved ally of the most powerful women. Little has changed between then and now, as it’s still the color of choice for actresses, models, and influencers to create beauty looks that evoke sensuality. Below, we show you some of the most dazzling of these.
The protagonist
Showing off her style, Selena Gomez enchanted everyone with this retro look, inspired by Old Hollywood. Impeccably outlined, this scarlet-hued lipstick was, without a doubt, the focal point of her makeup.
Obsessed with red
Red is über sexy, just like Adriana Lima. In one of her selfies, this Brazilian top model shows us how this product transforms the simplest of gestures (such as a look) into something breathtaking. Her equally radiant nail polish deserves a special mention, too.
Latina glamour
The Latina nonchalance and exuberance are embodied by Sofia Vergara, and this Colombian celebrity always does her own thing, standing out wherever she goes. Her favorite weapon for seduction is none other than the richest crimson lipstick.
Vibrant
The first red lipsticks were mixtures of dyes and powders made from dried algae, some of them potentially toxic. However, nowadays, they use active ingredients that moisturize and color lips. One example is Redrum, the lipstick from Jeffree Estar Cosmetics that Danna Paola admits to being a loyal fan of.
A primary color
Adria Arjona found traditional crimson to be the ideal complement to her snow-white skin and her dark hair. Red, as one of the primary colors, doesn’t need much more to illuminate this 6 Underground actress’ pretty face.
Three-toned makeup
Even if Clarissa Molina described this orange-hued makeup as her “new favorite”, it’s impossible to not notice the interplay between the red, orange, and neon pink, from her lips, to her cheeks, to her eyes. Fearless!
What about burgundy?
It’s also part of the palette of red tones that are deeper and more suggestive. Alessandra Ambrosio keeps it as an option for evening events, which require a hint of darkness in her makeup.
Professional application
You don’t need to be a makeup artist to be able to replicate Jessica Alba’s perfect red pout. You only need to know some tricks, like blending it with your fingertips from the middle towards the corners, to give it a more natural look.
Bold and beautiful
As a beauty influencer and brand ambassador for emblematic companies such as Lancome, Camila Coelho shows off her own version of classic red lips, this time with coral undertones, giving it an aesthetic reminiscent of spring that looks good on both blondes and brunettes.
Flirty and radiant
If you’re going for red lips, spice things up with a fiery color like this red chili lipstick worn by Gaby Espino. This modern product line also has the advantage of revitalizing your skin in seconds, so you’ll look fantastic, just like this star!
Extra rouge!
From the Elizabethan era of the 16th century to the flappers of the roaring twenties, red lipstick has always been around. In 2020, Ana Patricia Gámez shows that women still go crazy for bold pigments and lustrous textures in their lipstick. The one she’s wearing is BBella by Millie.
Not so subtle
Joan Smalls shows us the key to wearing such a symbolic and powerful color of lipstick; we’re talking, of course, about red or variations of it like purple, plum, or iridescent wine-red. The idea is to keep the rest of your face neutral, only enhancing your features with bronzer.
Lipstick + gloss = you can’t go wrong!
Besides its visual impact, the color red carries another subliminal message that lends it that irresistible magnetism. Thalia, for example, gives it a special touch with a generous layer of lip gloss, instantly transporting us to smack-dab in the middle of the nineties.
A natural infusion
Patented by brands like Guerlain, Elizabeth Arden, and Revlon, raspberry-colored lipstick is a must for Chiquinquirá Delgado. This Venezuelan actress, entertainer, and model knows that this palette looks fantastic against pale skin.
Dazzling
Never excessive, this is how cherry lipstick enhances any look. Ana De Armas tried this out for herself when she stepped onto the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards with eye-catching lip color and makeup with no oily residues.
A special allure
Alejandra Espinoza chooses textures that keep all eyes glued to her. Carefully using lip liner and applying lipstick with synthetic brushes are essential steps to emulating this Mexican’s bold lip look.
Classic makeup
Considered by many makeup artists as the most important beauty product for women, lipstick adds plenty of allure. That’s why it’s best to use it with a very subtle smokey eye, just like Francisca Lachapel does.
