While there might be some JavaScript "magic-like" solution I don't know of, my own solution was making the HTML a tiny bit more complex and adjusting the CSS to the change.
I have inserted my label tags into span tags and also created respective-successive span tags which contain only an asterisk and which are dyed separately, and wrapped any such structure in a div:
## HTML
```html
<div><span><label for="name" id="cf_label_name">Name</label></span><span class="required">*</span></div>
<input type="text" name="name" id="cf_input_name" required></input>
<div><span><label for="email" id="cf_label_email">Email address</label></span><span class="required">*</span></div>
~~<input type="email" name="email" required id="cf_input_email"></input>~~
```
## CSS
```css
label:after {
content:":";
}
.required {
color: red;
}
```
