Top 5 Color Tricks For Lips

1. Orangey red lipsticks will highlight yellowy teeth, while bluey reds make them look whiter.

2. Light shades particularly shimmery or frosted ones will make lips look bigger.

3. Dark shades or very matte colors will make lips look smaller.

4. If you are fairly tanned you should choose a slightly darker shade of lipstick than you would without your tan or you can look washed out.

5. Using sheer lipsticks and lip stains is an ideal way for the nervous to branch out into deep shades like plums, raisins, and reds.

Bobbi Brown: Mauve

It reminds me of the '70s and Ali MacGraw in Love Story," she says. Somewhere between a purple and a brown, mauve has so many varied tones—pale, dusty, vintage, dark—that it looks good on everybody. Here, this retro trend gets a modern makeover. See what the artist used from the Bobbi Brown collection:

Eyes:
Navajo Eye Shadow
Vintage Eye Shadow
Black Mauve Shimmer Ink Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner
Chocolate Mauve Eye Shadow
Black Everything Mascara

Lips:
Heather Mauve Lip Color
Hot Cocoa Lip Liner

For this season, Chantecaille creative director Olivia Chantecaille introduced two complementary compacts of ocean-inspired hues. As an added incentive to enjoy this fresh palette, 5 percent of proceeds from the sales of this collection will be donated to vital research on marine preservation. Here, makeup artist Polly Osmond created a dramatic eye by blending green, gray and gold shadows and lining the top and bottom lashes with mascara. The following products from the Chantecaille collection were used:

Eyes:
Protected Paradise Marine Green Eyeliner
Protected Paradise Medium Grey Eye Shadow
Protected Paradise Rose Gold Eye Shadow
Mascara Noir

Lips:
Zinnia Lip Chic

For Estee Lauder makeup artist Blair Patterson, nothing says summer like perfectly bronzed skin. To sweeten this look, he turned to the sheer shades of the sea and another summertime favorite: fresh saltwater taffy! The face is a matte bronze, with a pop of color on the cheeks for a natural glow. Bright, candy-colored eye shadow, lots of mascara and a sheer gloss for slightly flushed lips complete the look. From the Estee Lauder collection, he used:

Eyes:
Automatic Eye Pencil Duo in Hyacinth Sky
Pure Color Eye Shadow in Lagoon
Pure Color Eye Shadow in Butter
Lash Primer Plus
Double Wear Zero Smudge Lengthening Mascara in Black
