By: Jessica Danielle Ramirez

What was once a centuries old trend – and revitalized sporadically throughout the 1900s, has made a comeback. The red lip classic is back and many are jumping on the bandwagon to join in on this classic style. Much of the influence of red lips comes from stars like Gwen Stefani, Demi Lovato, and Sofia Vergara.

However, red is not the only color on the beauty list. Pink, purple, nude – you name it, and it’s there.

No color is without a celebrity influence – and it’s causing many women to rush to the nearest cosmetic

store to experiment with different looks.

Here are a few some stars who are flaunting those unique, colorful lips:

1. It’s only obvious age doesn’t affect Jennifer Lopez. The “Booty” singer has been photographed many times on the red carpet with red lips.
