Sparkly Pink Cheeks
Bright pink blush gives skin the most youthful-looking flush. But pay attention to the details: "Matte pink is chalky, and hard to wear," says makeup artist Linda Cantello. "Gold shimmer softens the look." Dust some onto the apples of you cheeks and blend outward so there are no hard lines.

Matte Fuchsia Lips
This loudmouth purple-pink shade looks modern (and becomes easier to wear) when dabbed on with a finger to create a stained effect.

Tangerine Lipstick
This color isn't reserved for traffic cones and prison jumpsuits anymore. When it comes to lipstick, "a saturated orange is sexy, elegant, and strong," says makeup artist Dick Page. Plus, it warms up both fair and dark skin. Just keep the rest of your makeup tame when wearing it: Stick to a soft, peach blush and a swipe of black eyeliner.

Pink and Chocolate
This color combination strikes the same cord as salted caramel: It seems untraditional, but the end result packs a real punch. Page says a chocolate brown eye shadow shade that's warmed up by wearing it with a hint of pale pink is a livelier way to wear the typical neutral. Sweep the brown color over the eyelids, then blend a sparkly pink shade around the edges of the brown and under the lashes. Pull the color combination together with a pink lip gloss that has a hint of brown.

Burgundy Lipstick
We spotted this color all over the runways this season—including Donna Karan and Proenza Schouler—and for good reason: The rich berry shade has a certain ladylike sophistication that's perfect for fall. "If you already wear deep pinks or reds, this shade is the next logical step," says Page. Exfoliate lips with a cleansing wipe to get rid of any flakes before applying (dark lipsticks emphasize dry, chapped lips). Keep your mouth from appearing too bright by warming up your cheeks with a subtle blush from the same color family.

Lavender Shadow
If your daytime color palette is usually confined to beige, brown, and taupe, consider this new neutral: lavender with gray undertones. "It's a fresh variation on smoky eyes that's wearable for day," Page says. (Women with dark skin tones should stay away from lavenders that are too pale—it will look frosty on the skin.)
2. Black Opal Mineral Brilliance Eye Shadow Mosaic in Zanzibar, $8.95
Forest Green Shadow
Splashing green on your eyelids can be tricky, but this deeper shade of forest green is "chic and sophisticated on everyone," says Page. Apply a golden moss-colored shadow over the lids, diffusing it as you get up toward the brow bones. Finish with a few coats of black mascara, and you're good to go.
