The Look: Bordeaux-Painted Mouth
Bold and beautiful, a Bordeaux-painted mouth "always makes a statement," says James Kaliardos, a New York City makeup artist who used MAC Lipstick in Dark Side on models at the Luca Luca show. "It photographs so well, even in black and white. For extra impact, add clear gloss to the center of your lips." Look at the next few slides for more ways to get this look.

The Look: Soft, Smoky Eyes
Instead of the old charcoal standby for defining eyes, consider wearing lighter-looking metallic shadows, says Pat McGrath, makeup artist and global creative director for CoverGirl. When wearing dramatic eye makeup, go easy on lip and cheek colors, and minimize any dark spots with concealer.
