Eva Mendes, 37, showed up at the Tribeca Film Festival and Cinema Society premiere of Last Night on April 25 in NYC wearing bright red lips and her classic smokey-eye makeup. Find out how you can get the look for yourself!

Why this works: Eva has a natural bronze glow to her face that looks flattering with very bright colors.

Emmy Rossum at the opera, Vanessa Hudgens in LA, Selena Gomez at a Disney event and Eva Rachel at the premiere of Mildred Pierce all had one thing in common — smashing red lips for the red carpet! Red lips are a big statement and we all know how hard it is to pull it off. Dior celebrity makeup artist Ricky Wilson gives us his tips on how you can own this look!

Ricky believes there is a shade of red lipstick for everyone — you just have to find it! But be brave in your choices! As Ricky says, “Go red or go home!” It’s all-or-nothing with this Hollywood superstar look. He tells us that red lips are a stand-alone piece.  Ricky barely applies any blush or eyeshadow — so the real focus is on the lips.

Ricky’s tip: Use a neutral lip liner rather than red. “When the red lipstick wears down you’ll be left with a red outline that isn’t really flattering!” Use a bit of concealer around the lip, or paint the lipstick directly on the lips with a lip liner brush.

Ricky also tells us about a big no-no when it comes to sealing red lips. We’ve heard that putting powder over the lips help make red lipstick sit better — WRONG!

“It’s almost like sitting a towel next to a puddle of water — it’s going to actually cause bleeding and not correct the problem!” His advice: use a waxy lip balm like ChapStick!

Nicole Kidman, 43, wears red lipstick all the time, and for good reason– it looks so good on her! Our favorite red lips moment from this Rabbit Hole star was at the December 2009 premiere of Nine.

Blue Valentine‘s Michelle Williams, 30, wore a stunning shade of medium-red lipstick to the March 2006 Oscars. Paired with her yellow Vera Wang dress, the color was definitely the beauty look of the season! Try Maybelline ColorSensational Lipcolor in Red Revival for Michelle’s stunning lips!

Annette Bening, 52, star of The Kids Are All Right, wowed at the Feb. 13 BAFTA Awards with bright red lipstick. Annette looked so great in this color, and her white Marchesa dress really set it off! To get the look, use L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipcolour in Drumbeat Red.

Winter’s Bone star Jennifer Lawrence, 20, wore a gorgeous coral red lip shade to the American Film Institute Awards on Jan. 14.
