You want to make sure that you start with a smooth foundation by exfoliating your lips, recommends Warren. "As the bright color disappears throughout the day, it will cling to the dry parts for dear life and remain when the rest completely rubs off."

For a flawless lipstick application, Pecheux suggests moisturizing with Vaseline and patting dry.

Prep your bold lips with a lip pencil like Make Up For Ever's Aqua Lip. "It's very important to line the lips, as this is where you will establish their shape, and liner is also key for making your lip color last," says McCarthy. "You can line with the natural lip shape, or when using a deep shade of liner, extend slightly outside the natural lip shape to add volume."

Warren used Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Damned as a lipstick for an easy, controlled application. But if you're a makeup novice, McCarthy advises applying color with a lip brush. "Starting in the center of the lower lip, apply lipstick, and wipe your brush on a tissue and blend it with a clean brush toward the outer edges of the lip."

This pro technique eliminates feathering product outside the lip line. For added dimension, you can apply a highly pigmented lipstick in a cool pink tone like Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense #35 to the center of the lower lip.

Blot away excess lipstick with tissue. Another pro trick Warren stands by is placing the tissue between "relaxed" lips and using the index finger to press down from left to right.

She then finished our model's look by layering a clear lip gloss on top and adding warmth to her face with a soft, pink blush.

A bright, bold lip adds that cool factor for fall, according to Pecheux, and works well with the season's heavy layered look of wool sweaters, leather jackets, camel overcoats, and booties.
