Elizabeth Banks defied the don’t-match-your-lipstick-to-your-dress rule at the New York City premiere of What to Expect When You’re Expecting—and we loved it! “This is a case where matching a lip to a dress actually works because it ties the whole look together,” her makeup artist Gita Bass told InStyle.com exclusively. Bass used Make Up For Ever’s Rouge Artiste Natural in Soft Fuchsia, a sheer, ultra-hydrating lipstick that can be layered for maximum impact to play up the punchy pink detail of her Peter Pilotto design. “I was so inspired by the gorgeous beaded flowers on Elizabeth’s dress and wanted to transform her into a glamorous spring goddess,” Bass added. Pick up your own tube for $19 at sephora.com.
