>> This holiday-perfect style — spotted during Paris Fashion Week at the Fall 2011 Junko Shimada show — combines the sophistication of classic red with the playfulness of this year's brights for a lip look that really pops. To replicate, use an angled brush to apply an orange-ish red just to the outer edge of lips, then gently fill in the center of lips with a vibrant fuchsia. Use a finger to gently blend the line outward. Keep the look chic by choosing lip colors of similar vibrancy and opaqueness, and be sure to leave the rest of the face minimal — a light sweep of shimmer across the eyes and a bit of mascara are all you need. See below for our picks to make this style yours, now.
