Burgundy Lips

Bleached brows aside — seriously, do not attempt! — this fall is all about dark, vampy lips, even more daunting than the fearless brights we sported through the spring and summer. The lips are clearly the focal point, so leave skin bare and dewy with a touch of neutral contouring on the cheeks and lids to give structure to the face.

Get the look with Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain in 1 Violet Edition, a deep, dark eggplant rouge that won’t smear, budge, or dry out lips, then contour (in hollows of cheekbones and just below the brow bone) with an angled brush and a multipurpose taupe powder like MAC Powder Blush in Harmony for depth.
