Charlize Theron and Liv Tyler let their lips do the talking as they posed for photos at the African Outreach Project in New York in matching orange-hued lippy.
Opting for minimal makeup for the rest of the face, both actresses ensured all eyes were on their perfect pouts. While brunette beauty, Liv, complemented her natural skintone with a brick-red shade, fair-skinned Charlize chose a softer, more peachy-hued tone.

Celebrities in red lipstick
Pixie was the first celebrity off the mark with this season's grunge trend. At the Elle 25th anniversary party Pixie's red lips added a glamorous antidote to the Kurt Cobain-inspired hair.
Nobody rocks red quite like Rihanna. Attending the Westfield shopping centre to switch on the 2010 Christmas lights, the singer opted for a plum-toned red shade with a slight shimmer to complement her skin tone and match her signature scarlet locks.
Never one to miss a hot trend, Fearne Cotton rocks the look, plumping for a bright orange-toned statement red teamed with dramatic black eyeliner. But be warned, warm tones can draw attention to less than white teeth.
At the 9th annual Elton John AIDS Foundation benefit in New York Christina Ricci went for classic glamour with a matte red pout and super-long lashes. For a velvet finish like this, blot lips with a tissue.
Gemma makes her pillar-box red pout the focal point of her look by teaming with gleaming nearly-nude makeup and a simple line of black kohl.
The perfect complement to her platinum blonde locks, Gwen Stefani never goes anywhere without her red lipstick. Up close this look is a bit too heavy for our tastes though.
Even on the red carpet, fresh-faced Sienna usually opts for minimal makeup. But since the Matthew Williamson spring/summer show the star has become a re lipstick addict.
Vintage Vixen, Dita Von Teese, has had women the country over dashing to their makeup counter to invest in a red lipstick in an attempt to emulate her classic retro look. To recreate the look, team with 40s waves, winged eyeliner and lashings of gloss.
