Following Sir John's tips, try swiping on a black lipstick layered with the glassiest lip gloss you can find. With such striking lips, no other products are needed. The glossy finish feels fresher than stark matte.

Bright Eyes and Dark Lips
Out of all of the colors in the rainbow, nothing is as invigorating as yellow and yellow eyeshadow also happens to be trending this season. Perk up a purplish lip gloss with a swipe of the sunny shade. Even a sheer pastel shadow will have a strong impact.

Bold Brows and Bolder Lips
Use this opportunity to show off the more unexpected vampy lipstick shades in your collection — or get creative and mix a one-of-a-kind shade. Balance the lipstick with defined brows.

Golden Gaze
We can always count on gold to add some serious glamour to a look. A gold eye pencil, like Sephora Collection Colorful Shadow & Liner in 08 Gold, $14, is just the thing for making a dark purple lipstick feel at home in the summer.

Contrasting Lips and Tips
Glitter is having a moment, so make full use of it with your warm weather dark lipstick look. Use a glittery top coat or straight-up glitter on top of your punky lip shade. For even more shine, enhance the cupid's bow with a touch of metallic gold pencil. And don't forget about nails, the right manicure can perk up an almost-black lip color.
