It’s lovely to see celebrities doing the whole red lip trend RIGHT for once at the red carpet. Our two favorite celebrity pouts on the Emmys red carpet yesterday:

Leighton Meester is showing ya all out there what her red lips are supposed to be paired up with – dolled up hair and dolled up dress and dolled up eye makeup. Loving it. Very Gossip Girl sassy pouty – probably some of the best celebrity makeup looks I have seen so far.

Hayden Panetierre is not carrying those bright red lips as sassy as Leighton Meester, but she still looks really lovely here with a wavy updo (I LOVE the hair – doesn’t that make you wish you had a celebrity hairstylist too?) and the one thing that makes those lips work is the red dress. She looks a little bit older than she really is, but it’s not overly age inappropriate like many, many other celebrity makeup looks. Hayden also has some of the best celebrity skin I have seen – sometimes an abundance of makeup only highlights the abundance of zits and wrinkle… yep it’s that simple
