They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery — and we have no shame in applying this motto when it comes to celebrity style. And perhaps the easiest, quickest way to look Hollywood ready is with a swipe of lipstick. Since Winter is one of our favorite seasons to sport a bold pout (a colorful pucker looks lovely against porcelain skin), we did some digging to see what lipsticks stars are wearing. Whether you're looking for an affordable drugstore pick or a more exclusive product, we've found it. Keep reading to get your hands (or lips?) on the exact brands and shades that make your A-list crushes look so gorgeous.

Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is rarely seen without her signature red lip, and recently she posted a photo of herself on Instagram applying her favorite red shade, Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl ($25). So, you can be sure that it's the real deal.

Rihanna
"I love red," Rihanna told Us Weekly. "I think it's strong and it's flirty, sassy, and everything that I am. It's my favorite." MAC worked with the singer to design her perfect red shade, Viva Glam Rihanna ($16), and there's no denying that it's as brazen as the singer herself.

Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian's makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic revealed that he uses a drugstore product on the A-lister's lips. Even at her wedding, Kim sported L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Extraordinaire Lip Color in Nude Ballet ($8) for a sultry nude look.

Lorde
Lorde collaborated with MAC to create her perfect purple lipstick, which was released as a limited-edition product. While her signature shade, Pure Heroine is hard to come by, you can still snag the extremely similar Heroine ($16) to copy the singer's moody pout.

Lupita Nyong'o
Lancôme spokesperson and Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o says that the brand's L'absolu Rouge in Rouge Carrousel ($30) is her all-time favorite lip color. The sheer, peach shade works perfectly against her mahogany skin tone.

Rita Ora
"MAC Ruby Woo ($16) never goes wrong," Rita Ora told Elle. The singer is rarely seen without a red lip, so it's safe to say that she's an expert!

Dita von Teese
This burlesque vixen knows a thing or two about rocking red lips, and her favorite lip color is as elegant as her vintage style. Dita von Teese spilled her lipstick secrets to Elle, revealing that she's switching over to Dior's Diorific lipstick in Dolce Vita ($36) in the wake of a discontinued old favorite.

Kylie Jenner
MAC's makeup artists insist that Kylie Jenner uses the brand's neutral Velvet Teddy lipstick ($16) and Whirl lip pencil ($16) to achieve her plump pout. However, we're pretty convinced that she's had some extra help!

Gwen Stefani
The No Doubt frontwoman has inspired our red-lip envy for decades, but she's extremely transparent about her favorite products. "I apply a matte, dry base such as L'Oréal Paris Infallible in Ravishing Red ($10), and then something creamy and moist on top, like MAC Lipglass in Russian Red ($15)," Stefani has said of her signature makeup routine.
