If you've been following along recently, you'll know that I am on one major red lipstick kick. I've got you covered on choosing a red based on undertones [1], picking out cool colors [2], warm tones [3], and true reds [4], and I've even given you tips on how to apply this bold hue [5] with precision. What's left, you ask? How about making it work with the rest of your makeup? For a few easy-to-follow guidelines, .

Makeup 101 will tell you to pick a feature to emphasize and play down everything else. Bold eyes = subtle lips. Bold lips = subtle eyes. Follow the rules (and my advice) by checking out my tips on creating a beautifully neutral face centered on daring red lips:

• Eyes — Keep the eye makeup toned down with a soft brown liner and mascara for lighter-haired ladies or a soft black liner and mascara to complement darker hair. Keep the eyeshadow simple and light. Try, Tarte Eyeshadow Duo in North Island [6] ($26), pink-beige shimmer and taupe shimmer or Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Eye Shadow Duo in Taupe Minerals [7] ($6.95).
• Cheeks — A glowy flush is your best bet. I like Bare Minerals Blush in Kiss [8] ($18). Super sex-ay.
