How To Make Your Hot Lips Even Hotter

From 50's pin-ups to vintage Rolling Stone cover girls, the red hot pucker has been an ongoing trend in lip wear - and we're pretty sure it's here to stay.

Fashion icons like Madonna and Dita Von Teese make luscious red lips look simply irresistible. But finding the perfect shade of rouge is no easy task. Wondering what kind of lipstick is best for your pretty pout? We've got the hottest picks!

Kat Von D's 'Adora'
If there's one lady who knows all about the allure of a rockin' set of red lips, it's tattoo artist Kat Von D. With her own new line of lipstick called Painted Love, the Miami Ink babe features a selection of red variations to suit whatever style you're after. Depending on just how red you're aiming for, it's a toss up between Hellbent and Adora, but the latter is most likely your best bet as it has a unique red-gold shimmer with a smooth finish. A gorgeous and moisturizing mix of matte and cream base. Hellbent fades into a pinkish fuchsia, while Adora is a bold, fiery rouge - just like you see on Kat Von D herself. Be prepared to stop traffic!

Dior 'Rouge'
This lipstick is a deep wine red with a touch of gold in its overlay. Long lasting with a beautiful bold shade, this one is meant for less of a fire engine red and more of a rich, darker classic.

Clinique Ambrosia
Disclaimer: Not for the faint of heart. Risk takers take note, the wild child in you will go...well, wild...for this glamorous shade of orange red. A warm peach hue is what this lipstick radiates with a hint of a red shimmer. If you're looking for a citrus glow, give Ambrosia a try.

Revlon Color Stay Top Tomato
Top Tomato claims to be "food proof" and has received mostly positive reviews to support this. Good news for lipstick lovers who are fed up with having to constantly re-apply! No need for touch-ups after tomato soup when this top tomato's got you covered.

M.A.C Ruby Woo
You're in for a thick, rich, red matte with M.AC's Ruby Woo, and you won't be disappointed. Reminiscent of 90's Jennie Garth this lipstick pick is perfect for the sultry, red hot cover girl look you've been coveting. The texture is smooth and lightweight, easy to glide on and not so easy to smear off. Look and feel sexy in this shade of bold, biting, candy apple red.Burlesque, anyone?
