“I like to highlight the bow of the lips. I use Benefit Watts Up and apply to the bow using a lip brush to help soften the whole look.” - Vincent Oquendo

“I don’t like the edges to be too harsh or perfect because it’ll look severe.” - Nick Barose Nick Barose’s Pick: MAC Ruby Woo ($16)

Lisa Aharon’s Pick: Tom Ford Lip Color in Scarlett Rouge ($50)

Vincent Oquendo’s Pick: MAC Lady Danger ($16)

“Orange is tricky to wear if it’s too neon or too light. Look for one that’s bright but not too in-your-face.” - Nick Barose

Nick Barose’s Pick: Chanel Rouge Coco in 440 Arthur ($36)

Lisa Aharon’s Pick: Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme in Cora Cora ($30)

“When wearing a nude, make sure you exfoliate your lips before adding color.” - Vincent Oquendo

Lisa Aharon’s Pick: Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Bitch Perfect ($32)

"Nude lips can look washed out if it’s too light, too opaque, matte. This has pretty tone to it, plus soft sheen to make nude lips look fresh.” - Nick Barose Nick Barose’s Pick: Tom Ford Lip Color Shine in Bare ($50)

Vincent Oquendo’s Pick: Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Hepburn Honey ($32)

Lisa Aharon’s Pick: NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Yu ($26)

“A bold, fuchsia pink that looks sophisticated and chic. The perfect grown up pink.” - Nick Barose Nick Barose’s Pick: Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Lipstick in Dominant ($30)

Nick Barose’s Pick: Sisley Phyto Lipstick in Berry ($52)

Lisa Aharon’s Pick: Laura Mercier Rouge Nouveau in Muse ($25)

“I love pairing a strong lip with a simple eye! It’s more modern and easier to pull off for everyday. Make sure you’ve addressed any imperfections or redness in the skin with foundation, tinted moisturizer or concealer.” - Lisa Aharon

Nick Barose’s Pick: NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Train Bleu ($26)

Lisa Aharon’s Pick: Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Night Crimson ($32)

“For a less severe look with a dark lip, use bronzer and a coral blush on the apple of the cheeks.” - Vincent Oquendo Vincent Oquendo’s Pick: Tom Ford Lip Color Matte in Black Dahlia ($50)

“I like to highlight the bow of the lips. I use Benefit Watts Up and apply to the bow using a lip brush to help soften the whole look.” - Vincent Oquendo
