The heroines in some of America's favorite movies are meant to inspire us, and they do—right down to our makeup palettes. So with the holidays approaching and some seriously relaxing couch time on the horizon, there's no better time to revisit some of the most memorable mouths in film and, the modern shades you'll be wearing immediately after watching them.

If seeing Pam Grier in Foxy Brown doesn’t make you want to get into fighting shape and paint your lips a particularly deep shade of chestnut, you may want to check your pulse. For Thelma & Louise, the envelope-pushing film about friendship, love, and lipstick, the makeup product earns an oft-ignored supporting role, set perfectly in place as Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis take the first optimistic selfie of their soon-to-go-off-the-rails vacation. Later, when Thelma accidentally loses their savings to a handsome, cunning cowboy, as a sign of lost hope, Louise throws her lipstick out of the car. Although as the film ultimately proves, when you know who your friends are (and what your shade is), nothing can stop you.

From Marilyn Monroe's glamorous magenta hue in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes to Molly Ringwald's blackened honey pout in the cult classic 80's flick, The Breakfast Club here are 10 inspiring shades to swipe on this season.
