Lipstick is my favorite accessory! This season, try a dark red lip if you want to look sexy, glamorous, badass or all of the above. During the Fall 2012 shows, there were shades of deep burgundy and dark berry on the runways of Gucci, YSL, and Nina Ricci. And at Christian Siriano and Bottega Veneta, lips were even darker, edging into purple.

A little nervous to wear something other than a swipe of pink gloss? Think about it this way: Bold lips don't seem so scary when you consider those crazy flower pants you've been walking around in since the beginning of the summer....

Let's start out with the most intense color of the season—plum. Wearing it will make you (almost) as cool as rapper Azealia Banks, who created this shade with MAC.
