Maggie Gyllenhaal is a fashion forward thinker. She is always dressed in something that makes you think. At the “Dark Knight” world premiere she was stunning in a full length gown.

Her hair is swept back in a loose updo that is delicately sexy. The entire look conveys and understated glamour that is perfect for her. She followed the cardinal rule of playing up either lips or eyes, but never both. For the event she decided to glow with red lips and dewy skin.

To score that red pout use a lipstick that is a true red. Stay away from tones with browns and oranges. If you are a pale or olive complection, stick with blue-red colors. NARS has a great hue in the semi-matte category. Try the Scarlet Empress for pucker with power. For a more full red, try the stick in Red Lizard. This was also the hue used by Sharon Stone in the film “Diablolique.”
