16 Times Celebrities Wore Insane Lipstick Colors and Still Looked Perfect
1/18Celebrities are known for trying a slew of unconventional trends. Whether it's growing out their roots, rocking temporary body jewelry, or dyeing their hair every possible shade — they've been there, done that, and most likely started a trend.
So, it's no surprise that the latest celebrity beauty trick that's taking over is the use of unusual lipstick shades. Every girl loves a good red or nude lip, but have we all dared to opt for a deep brown or green shade instead? Probably not. Everyone from Rihanna to Kylie Jenner to Blake Lively has tried the look, and we've rounded up our favorites. Maybe this will convince you to give it a go.

Blake usually keeps her look on the natural side, but her hot pink matte shade proves even she couldn't resist.

Okay, she might be the only celebrity on this list who frequently rocks a dark lip. MAC even collaborated with Lorde for two vampy hues, so it's no doubt she owns this look.

We already know that Zendaya loves to experiment with makeup. In addition to switching up her hair to this pixie cut, she opted for a shiny metallic pout.

Gigi is another celeb who usually sticks to lighter lip shades, but lately she's been switching gears. Take this moody color for example. It complements her blonde strands perfectly.

The ladies of Little Mix always gives us serious hair and makeup envy, because they can literally pull off anything! Leigh Anne's grayish taupe lip is proof.

We're surprised that Lily hasn't rocked a statement lip more often, because this look goes great with her statement (and kind of famous) brows.

Rihanna never fails to surprise us with her over-the-top style. Who else can pull off a green this well?

Sky not only upgraded her signature blonde locks to this electric blue shade, she also opted for a blood red lipstick — steering away from her usually bare lips.

Kylie is another celebrity who'll try anything new when it comes to hair and makeup. The beauty guru gave us a preview of her signature lip kit's brown shade, which we're sure you can't wait to get your hands on.

When we talk about purple lipstick, we're usually referring to dark purple. Joan's almost neon shade is proof that there are clearly more options.

We love a vampy look, and Rita Ora took that to heart when she wore a blood red option that highly contrasted with her skin tone and hair.
FilmMagic13/18Shay Mitchell
Shay is a true California girl, often rocking flawless waves and a bronze face, but she switched it up with this matte mahogany situation. To no one’s surprise, she looked perfect!

Stepping out in a sleek ponytail, Gigi Hadid brought all of the attention to her lips with this intense deep purple. Definitely a game-changer from her usual beauty looks!

This pink shade looks amazing against Janelle’s skin tone, which isn’t shocking since the singer often dares to be different, especially when it comes to beauty.

We’re not kidding when we say Rihanna can pull off ANY look! Black lipstick is often intimidating, but there isn’t a challenge Riri isn’t willing to face.

We don’t think we’ve seen Benzo rocking a dark shade ever, but we definitely don’t hate it! She looks both sophisticated and on trend.
