    The Tube: Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour in Eléganté, $35. Available next month at chanel.com.

    The Tip: "What's nice about this is that one swipe leaves a berry stain behind, but you can bump it up for night by reapplying and blotting between coats," says makeup artist Katie Mellinger. "To clean up any imperfections, I like to use the sharp edge of a triangle sponge with a bit of foundation on it, or the tightly wound black cotton swabs from Muji."

    The Tip: "There's been a movement recently toward the anti-fall fall lip," says Mellinger. "I think the sheerness of this coral makes it more modern and cool than the kind your grandmother wore in Boca."

    The Tube: Gucci Audacious Color-Intense Lipstick in Iconic Red, $39. Available next month at saks.com.

    The Tip: "If you prefer the look of lipstick without a dark rim of liner, but still want to prevent bleeding or feathering, use a clear version that goes on like a wax [like Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipliner in Clear, $7]," Mellinger advises. "Then apply color straight from the tube to the center of the mouth, smudge it around, and put as much pigment as possible on a brush to perfect the edges."

    The Tip: "With a raisin color like this, you want to keep the rest of the look relatively simple—just a bit of definition around the eyes and some mascara," says Mellinger. "You wouldn't want to go too colorful with anything else because you're already making a statement with this lip—and definitely stay away from hard blush."

    The Tube: NARS Audacious Lipstick in Dominique, $32, Buy it now

    The Tip: "This is a good color for someone who sees somebody like Lorde or Rihanna and really wants to try a purple lip but wants to play it a bit safer," notes Mellinger. "If you don't have strong brows like Julia, balance out a pastel shade by filling in your arches, doing a cool cat-eye, or creating a stronger contour on your cheeks."

    The Tube: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Technopagan, $18, Buy it now

    The Tip: "I feel like I'm in The Hunger Games!" Cummings quipped after taking a look in the mirror. For those who want to make this futuristic shade a present-day reality, Mellinger emphasizes that this highly pigmented formula is not a gloss: "You only need the tiniest bit on the brush, then start in the center and work your way out, dragging the edge of the bristles along the lip line." Since this pigment has serious staying power, she suggests reaching for an oil-based makeup remover (or coconut oil) and layering it on top of a makeup wipe before you start to scrub. Or try Bite Beauty's new Bite Lush Lip Wipes, $12, infused with hydrating melon fruit extract.

    The Tip: "Something that Dick Page taught me is to apply lipstick with a fluffy brush [like Shiseido's Small Eyeshadow Brush, $20] because it conforms to the shape of the lip," notes Mellinger.

    The Tip: "With pearly lipsticks you always want to make sure your lips are well exfoliated because the [shiny] pigments will cling to dry patches," says Mellinger. "You can make a paste with a small amount of baking soda and water."
