For that perfect pout: Ace your lipstick game like the celebs

Ever since the flapper girls of the 1920s realised the power of a stained pout, lipstick has been a beauty staple for millions of women. Here's a look at celebs whose lipstick game has been on point this year. Emma Stone (L) usually goes for a bold, heavily accentuated eye on the red carpet, so when she turned up at the Oscars Nominees' Luncheon earlier this year wearing this fresh, acidic candy colored pink lippy we were delighted. A matte foundation with just a hint of apricot blush made sure her pout was the main talking point. Coral has been a huge trend this year, as demonstrated perfectly by the flawless Felicity Jones (R) at this year's Golden Globes in January. The British star used a sweep of navy eyeshadow and slightly disheveled brow to accentuate her hazel peepers and put the focus on the strong but natural-looking lip color. (Photos: AFP)
