Jenna Dewan Tatum’s Strawberry Lipstick

The actress, pro dancer, and wife to Channing Tatum (sigh) chose a stunning black and white Reem Acra dress, which called for one dazzlingly bright complement: a red mouth. As celeb makeup artist Patrick Ta told Us Weekly, “Jenna loves a bright lip,” so he lacquered her pout in Melt Cosmetics Matte Red Lipstick in “Belladonna 2” ($19, Meltcosmetics.com).

Lip Sync Battle‘s “Colorful Commentator” worked a Zuhair Murad dress with a slit so high it was almost dangerous—and still, her purple lipstick might have been her boldest style choice of the night. “Chrissy’s look was all about gorgeous skin with a bold lip,” celeb makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic explained. 

His dramatic choice for the model: Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in “Sad Girl” ($20, Anastasiabeverlyhills.com), teamed with a touch of the brand’s Lipgloss in “Venom” at the center of her lips ($16, Anastasiabeverlyhills.com).

For a “classic beauty” like Boone, makeup artist Reiva Cruze wrote via Instagram that she gave The Blacklist‘s leading lady (who wore an LBD with Via Spiga sandals) a #ClassicLikeChanel makeup look. That meant a light magenta lip created with Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in “Damned” for the actress ($26, Nordstrom.com).
