This season we're seeing the return of the bold lip in bright red-toned colors. Whether you prefer a glossy or matte texture, the key is the big bold splash of color. The trick to pulling off this look, though, is to slightly play down the eye. The focus here is all lip!

If you prefer playing up your eyes, then you're in luck this season, because a huge trend right are sexy, smoky eyes paired with bronzed cheeks and nude lips.

If you prefer rosy cheeks, then you should know fairy pink cheeks have taken over the previous season's bright pink craze & actually works well if you pair this look with soft pink lips.

Nail polish is always popular, but this season look for matching nails and lips. For the more adventurous girl, we're seeing multi-colored nails.
