PIX: Red, pink and nude: Different shades of Bollywood's lipstick ladies

The colours our filmi ladies love to pout in.

Red, pink, brown or beige, smiles in various hues of matte and glossy -- all thanks to that little indispensable magic wand that sits in every woman’s purse or dressing table -- the lipstick.   

Providing instant glamour since time immemorial, this chalk-sized wonder can leave its mark behind in ways only a woman can deem and a man desire. 

Here’s a look at the various shades of lipsticks our vanity-conscious Bollywood ladies love to pucker up in.

Deepika Padukone

Like 2013, this year too gave Deepika plenty to smile about with films like Happy New Year and Finding Fanny. Meanwhile, we love that beautiful hue of burgundy she’s wearing on her pretty lips.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Not everyone can carry off such a shocking shade of pink but, hey, the eternally elegant Ash is not everyone. 

Katrina Kaif

Adored for her fresh looks and sophisticated glamour, Katrina’s trademark shimmering pout seals the deal in style. 

Priyanka Chopra

From going deglam for roles like Barfi! and Mary Kom to exuding oomph in retro orange lipstick, Piggy Chops is quite the wonder woman. 

Sonakshi Sinha

Seductive, striking, stylish -- what’s not to love about Sonakshi’s bold, brown statement? If only her movies were half as attractive. 

Aditi Rao Hydari

Aditi takes the description ‘peaches ‘n’ cream’ to a new level courtesy her glowing complexion and a dab of salmon pink on the lips. 

Kajol

Earthy tones find a preference in Kajol’s new, improved fashion sense and nothing like a swab of high-shine cinnamon/cappuccino to up the game.

Kareena Kapoor

In Gwyneth Paltrow’s words, 'Beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.' And here’s how our desi fashionista Bebo puts her advice into practice. 

Sonam Kapoor

Always ready to experiment with cosmetics and clothes, Sonam adds a pop of magenta to her monochrome outing.  

Nargis Fakhri

Any mention of lips will invariably find its way to Nargis Fakhri’s famous pout, which look even more alluring than usual in that shade of pastel pink. 

Alia Bhatt

The popularity of nude lips cannot be contested among celebrities who like to keep it simple like a doe-eyed Alia Bhatt here. 

Rekha

If there’s one actress who can create drama, poetry and passion with her distinctive ruby red lips, it’s the one and only Rekha.
