Lighter Skin Tones, For Night
Just because you're doing a bold lip, that doesn't mean you can't wear equally impactful eye makeup — it's all about how you execute it. Soliz says that no matter where you're going or what time of day it is, you should always pair your red lip with some mascara and an evened-out complexion — the red from your lip will pick up any ruddiness in your skin and enhance it, so you need to create a uniform skin tone to avoid this. For day, try wearing a very precise, defined eye, but at night, sex it up with a more smoldering, smoky eye. And don't be afraid of wearing colorful eye makeup: To keep it modern, look for contrasting colors, like a purple eye to correspond with an orange-red lip. If you're more cautious or not ready to attempt a full-color eye, Soliz says you can get a pop of understated color by lining your lid with a vibrant liner. Most importantly, don't be afraid of experimenting — you'll never know if colors are going to go together unless you give them a try. Worst case scenario: If it doesn't look good, you can always just wipe it off and start all over again. The magic of makeup!

For pale girls, Soliz suggests Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipstick in Raven (on Kristen), Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 in #17 Red Muse, Sephora Collection Rouge Cream Lipstick in #5 Hot Tango, Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance 12-Hour Lipstick in Wild.
