Rich, dusky shades are always big for fall—it’s one of the few reasons we get excited for the temperatures to drop. But deep berry hues to decadent bordeaux wine and oxblood shades are absolutely inescapable this season. Still, it’s a tricky trend to commit to and one of the biggest challenges is figuring out what to do with the rest of your face.

Whether you choose to go with a completely bare face or still want to subtly accentuate your eyes and cheeks, with this look you want to make sure your seductive pucker is the only focal point.

Here are a few easy ways to rock this trend.

Bare eye. It’s all about your lips with this look so you’ll need confidence and a flawless complexion. If you had a good, relaxing weekend or night of sleep and you feel daring enough to not dress your eyes, then go for it and pay extra attention to your skin with a luminous foundation and give yourself a nice contouring job with your favorite bronzer or illuminating powder.

Sleek black eyeliner. Maybe you’re ballsy enough to go bold, but not enough to go bare so dress your upper lash line only with sleek black liner. It goes with any hue lipstick and you can even wing it out on the outside corners for a fierce feline touch.

White liner. If minimal is your thing, but you just didn’t get those beauty sleep hours in last night, then a great, unique trick is to accentuate your bottom lash line with a slick of white liner. It gives you that covetable wide-awake thing effortlessly and it only takes one quick step.

Contoured eyes. Bringing dimension to your eyelids is with a shade of brown shadow that suits your complexion is an original, avant-garde approach to complementing your bold lips. This works best if you wear the plum, Bordeaux wine lip shade that’s everything this season.

Love,
Your Fast Lane Girl, Amber
