A Soon-to-be Classic Color
Yeah, yeah, yeah ... you're sick of hearing about how orange is the "It" color of summer. But this hue has moved from a trend to a permanent place in our lipstick rotation. Barose favors Tom Ford Lip Color in Wild Ginger. "It's a rich, deep, orangey red that pops on dark skin," he says.

Vamp It Up
Dark, sultry, high-fashion -- this pretty much sums up a gothy, vampy lip done right. To pull it off, Barose says it should be "borderline black" with a bit of red. Steer clear of anything that's too matte or glossy (Barose says that glossy or shimmery shades will enlarge the lips). Instead choose a creamy or satin finish.

Try Out a Bold Trend
Feeling extra bold with your lipstick skills? Paint on an on-trend ombre lip. Two color combos Barose recommends: fuchsia with bright red and orange with deep coral.We also love mixing a rich berry with a brighter berry shade, à la Kelly Rowland.
