Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon have been on the road celebrating the 25th anniversary of Thelma & Louise, their envelope-pushing film about friendship, love, and lipstick. Throughout the movie, the makeup product earns an oft-ignored supporting role, set perfectly in place as the titular characters take the first optimistic selfie of their soon-to-be wayward vacation. And later, when Thelma accidentally loses their savings to a handsome, cunning cowboy (played by Brad Pitt), as a sign of lost hope, Louise throws her lipstick out of the car. Because, as the film proves, when you know who your friends are (and what your shade is), nothing can stop you.
After all, the heroines in our favorite films are meant to inspire us, and they do—right down to our makeup palettes. If watching Pam Grier in Foxy Brown doesn’t make you want to take a kung fu class and paint your mouth a particularly deep shade of chestnut, you may want to check your pulse. Here, a look back at some of the most memorable mouths in film, and the modern shades you’ll be wearing the morning after, because, to paraphrase Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, a girl shouldn’t read this sort of thing without her lipstick.
