Christina Aguilera can’t live without the color red. Well, that explains a lot.

The powerhouse is known for her trademark platinum blonde hair and crimson lipstick and always incorporates the vibrant shade into her wardrobe and makeup to help her achieve the classic “Hollywood glamour look.”

“Red is a color that defines sexy, whether it’s a sultry red lipstick, hot-red stilettos or a glamorous red evening gown. It’s a sensual and feminine color that fuses confidence with classic Hollywood glamour. Women who want to experiment with red should start by incorporating small accents into their look, like red lips or nails. It soon becomes one of those colors you can’t live without,” Christina explains in the new issue Britain’s Heat Magazine.

“I always love red lips, no matter what. I also love the combination of black mascara and a rich scarlet lipstick,” she explains. “Finally, fragrance, because it tops off any look, no matter what the occasion: red carpet, going out to dinner or even going to bed at night.”

Christina, now 28, recently launched her third perfume, Christina Aguilera By Night.
