A luscious garnet lip will be one of fall’s key looks, and it transitions effortlessly into the winter season. Red lipstick is all at once classic and flirty—think of it as the beauty equivalent of the LBD (little black dress).

On days when you don’t get a full eight hours of shut eye, resist the urge to cake on concealer, even if it is a creamy formula (a magnifying mirror will make the temptation all the more difficult). Any makeup that settles into fine lines is not your friend.

If you apply lipstick straight out of the tube, mix things up and apply it with a lip brush for a look that cries “kiss me now!” Dab gently from one corner of the lips to the other and finish with a hint of gloss to impart dewy sheen.

Powder isn’t only useful on skin. Sweep it on your lashes to give the illusion of thicker fringe—the particles will make mascara adhere better.

Never mind the fact that it looks like a medieval torture device, an eyelash curler is a girl’s best friend. Be sure to use the tool on clean lashes—prior to applying mascara— or you risk damaging them or pulling them out.

If you’re one of millions of women who have bluish circles under the eyes, stick with iridescent golden brown shadow (the shimmer calls attention to the upper lids). Yellow circles can be minimized with metallic iridescent taupe shades.
