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.

The Look: Warm Cheeks

"Anyone can wear these shades," says Dick Page, New York City makeup artist and artistic director for Shiseido. "They strike a balance between both warm and cool complexions." He used the hue on models at the Michael Kors show, shown here.

For Pale Skin

If you have pale skin, try a sheer, allover apricot shade, like L'Oreal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Anti-Dull Skin Primer, drugstores.

For Olive and Dark Skin

Olive skin tones look good in corals, such as Shiseido Luminizing Satin Face Color in Petal, sephora.com. And dark complexions can wear Nars The Multiple in Lamu, a rich terra-cotta.

For the Eyes

And play up eyes with a little brown liner, like Clinique Quickliner in Intense Chocolate. Can't decide between a cream and a powder? "Absorbent powder formulas are good for oily skin, whereas cream blush benefits dry skin," Page says.
