Brownish reds are a fun way to go dark without looking too extreme or clownish, says Spyksma. Plus they're supertrendy at the moment (thanks, '90s revival).
This sultry, mahogany shade is ultra-flattering on fair skin tones. And we are obsessed with the patent finish. To ensure the most pigment, dab a touch of clear gloss, such as NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Clear, $5, on top of your lipstick, focusing on the center of the bottom lip.

I think it's important for very fair-skinned women to pull off a glossy shade when wearing a vivid color. Unfortunately, I don't feel lavender/purple flatters anyone.

I'm wearing my Fresh Sugar lip treatment in Berry right now! It's so moisturizing and the tinted color gives a romantic but natural look...I love it!
