Brown and Blue
Brown and blue are sometimes thought of as basic colors, but these shades are anything but basic. The rich chocolate brown lipstick is brightened with the electric blue mascara and eyeliner. Then there's the pop of yellow in the inner corners for an extra shot.

Ombre Blue Eyeliner and Burgundy Lipstick
Lipstick isn't the only star of the show here — check out that ombre blue eyeliner. If your hand is too shaky to do the multicolored flick, stick with a solid blue eyeliner, like NYX Colored Felt Tip Liner in Cobalt Blue, $10, paired with burgundy lipstick.

Effortless Eggplant Lipstick
Here's proof that dark lipstick can be low key. It's all down to the application. Dab on a plum lipstick, like Pretty Vulgar Bury Them With A Smile Matte Lipstick in Honest Truth, $24, for a soft-focus finish around the edges. Tap a clear lip balm on for a little extra shine and hydration. There's no need to do anything to the rest of the face — apart from sunscreen, of course.

Wine Pout
It's not necessary to choose the blackest black lipstick of them all. (Although if you want to, be our guest.) Subtly nod to the brighter colors of the season with a satin wine lipstick. Winged black eyeliner ups the drama for evening, while copper eyeshadow prevents it from becoming too serious.

Shimmering Eyes
Calling all glitter fans, this look is for you. For a cohesive finish, keep the tones in the same color scheme, like this shimmering pink eye glitter and warm burgundy lipstick.
