A sculpted face with red lips is very flattering on fairer skin, as seen here on Kate Bosworth. “Using neutral shadows like the Makeup By Mario Master Mattes Palette makes the eye-look easy. Start by applying a lighter shade to the lid, then sweep a medium shade through the crease,” says Soliz. Add definition with black eyeliner like Pat McGrath’s Perma Precision, and pull the liner out at the corners for a feline effect. “Add two coats of Charlotte Tilbury’s mascara in Pillow Talk for added drama,” adds Soliz. And of course, don’t hold back on the red lipstick.

Experts agree that focusing on one feature, whether it be a powerful eye and more demure lip or a more neutral eye and a bright red lip, will help balance a red dress look.
