Among the most popular tricks of the glamour trade: Red lipstick for instant pizzazz. "If you wear a red lipcolor, you instantly signal 'glamour'—even if you're wearing the simplest outfit," says Cheryl Kramer, beauty director for Redbook magazine.
If you're thinking, "Oh no, not on me," Cheryl says it's true—not every woman can wear the classic matte red. But, she says, most of us can find at least a couple of shades of glossy red that look great.
Still not convinced? Makeup artist Craig Jessup suggests wearing a caramel-color nude lipstick topped with a bright berry gloss for a look that is both festive and trendy.
"When choosing a gloss, look for a fine grade of pearl pigment—one that contains glitter, but ground very fine so that you don't actually see any particles. Then the look is just one of intense wetness and shine," says Craig, resident makeup artist for the Kevyn Aucoin line of beauty products.
