    Red and orange lip colors feel new thanks to a heavy dose of shine (and we're digging how well they create the illusion of fuller lips). Pick products that are opaque without a drop of shimmer, and when applying, prep lips first with a matching pencil. "You have to watch out for bleeding with glossy products," says makeup artist Dick Page. "So start with something more stable, like a lip liner." If your skin has cool undertones, go for blue reds; warmer skin tones can try fiery, orangey hues. And if you want to go for outright orange, stick to one that has a hint of red-a true orange requires a heap of confidence to pull off.
