Lola: Look 1 "I like to multi-task with my makeup, so coming up with different looks using just three products is not going to be an issue � except one of the three things is a bright red lip stain. I never wear red anything, much less red lips. The challenge for me is definitely going to be getting comfortable with one of the looks being focused on lips -- very bright red lips."

Products used:
Tarte Natural Lip Stain LipSurgence Techonology in Fiery, $24
Napoleon Perdis Eyeliner in Mexico City, $18
Raw Minerals Mineral Glow in Warm Glow, $14

How she used them:
"Today I applied the Mineral Glow lightly all over my face. Then I used the lip stain on the apples of my cheeks, and very lightly dabbed my lips for a �just bitten� look. Not enough to look like I was wearing any lip product. I used the eyeliner and blended it upward on my lids. I smudged a bit on my lower lid and lined the inside rims."

What she thought:
"This look was safe for me. I focused on the eyes, kept the lips fairly nude and tried to avoid the red as much as possible. Surprisingly, the stain blended really well on my cheeks. I was worried with the bright color, so one dot would be more than enough. It was easy to layer on the red and get just the right hint of flush on my cheeks."
