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.

Rich Red Kisser
If you aren't ready to go full-on goth, there are plenty of options. A deep red lipstick, like Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Made It, $21, is an easy color to pull off any time of year. Keep thing classic with a shimmering bronze eyeshadow.

Wine Stain
Popsicle mouth is pretty, but a wine-stained mouth can really turn heads. It's easy to create the look with an actual tipple, but a rich merlot lip color is a better option, especially for daytime. Concentrate the color around the center of lips for a proper stained effect. Just a hint of white eyeshadow is all that's needed to lift the look.

High Gloss Lips
Following Sir John's tips, try swiping on a black lipstick layered with the glassiest lip gloss you can find. With such striking lips, no other products are needed. The glossy finish feels fresher than stark matte.
