As Hollywood's most fashionable stars Gwyneth Paltrow once famously said, 'Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.'
Whether it's Snow White, Marilyn Monroe or Rekha, there's something authoritatively sexy about dabbing the reddest of hues on a pair of voluptuous lips.
Trends come and go but like the racy LBD, red lips are an timeless classic. And these days Bollywood beauties are sporting it more than ever. Take a look.
