What a difference lip color can make! OK so nude and deep red/crimson are on totally opposite ends of the spectrum and I myself prefer just a sheer gloss, but seeing these images side-by-side I’m still surprised at how much lip color can effect ones overall look. Surprisingly the only star above that I think looks better with a deep red lip is Cameron Diaz — you’d think that with her laid-back Cali image I’d like her better with nude. For the most part crimson lips look too “done-up” for me and I think that they can even, on certain people and depending on the outfit (ahem Leighton Meester in that harlequin-esque outfit at the CDFA Awards), look clownish. What do you prefer, nude or deep red lips?
