You'll find numerous shades for different skin tones, every occasion, and complementary eye-makeup ideas when you peruse this celebrity-inspired guide.

When it comes to lip colors, stains can be too drying, glosses are often tacky, and lipsticks wind up halfway across your cheek in no time. So how do you reconcile? With Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar Stained Gloss ($18, available May 23), the easy-to-apply formula glides on like a gloss and sticks like a stain. But the best part about it is that it doesn't dry your lips out like a stain usually does. That means no feathering or flaking, just stay-all-day pigment that won't slip around your lips. And its 100 percent vegan formula makes it a great buy for everyone — especially if no-fuss beauty is your mantra.
If you've ever ventured into the makeup aisle looking for coordinating liner, lipstick, and gloss, then you'll know it's no walk in the park. Lucky for us, BareMinerals has made things a whole lot easier with its Marvelous Moxie Lipstick ($18). In addition to 18 lip color options, the new collection features 10 lip liners and 14 lip glosses, so every lipstick hue has a partner. The liners are pigmented enough to wear alone; the glosses give high shine with a slight stain; and the lipsticks have a semimatte finish, providing full color in just one swipe (the cherry red, dubbed Live It Up, is a personal favorite). But the biggest payoff comes when you combine all three products. As a trio, these powerful hues not only finish bright but also last all night long. This is one threesome you can't refuse.

At the Company You Keep premiere last night, attendees showed off an array of petal-pink lip colors that are right on trend for Spring. Instead of neon magentas or chalky pastels, the stars took a more natural and rosier approach to lip color. Anna Chlumsky chose a gloss that enhanced the color of her lips and paired it with natural eye makeup. Camilla Hansen went for a girlie take on pink with a pastel dress complemented with a flush of pink on her lips and cheeks and a dramatic curled tendril. But Girls star Zosia Mamet added some edge to her look by opting for a matte carnation lip color paired with smudged black eyeliner. Whether you go natural, girlie, or edgy, adding a pop of pink to your lips is universally flattering.
Nude lips are a makeup go-to, especially during the warmer months. This week, three ladies stepped out rocking the look along with very different makeup palettes. Blake Lively paired her glossy nudes with peach shadow and emerald-green liner, while Jennifer Lopez added black liner with amped-up lashes. And Brandy added a smoky brown shadow to complement her glossy lips. Nude lips are so versatile that it basically pairs with anything, but whose did you prefer?
